Main Characters: Jesus, the Disciples, Mary Magdalene, Pontius Pilate and Caiaphas
Scripture References: Matthew 26-27, Mark 14:26-16:20, Luke 22-24 & John 18-21
Overall Theme: Jesus dies on the cross and is buried in a sealed tomb only to arise on the third day, appearing to the Disciples and His followers with the message that they must spread His teachings. Then Jesus ascends into Heaven.
Summary: A young boy, Daniel, witnesses the death of Jesus by crucifixion on Calvary where a Roman Centurion confirms, “Truly this man was the son of God.” Storms rage and an earthquake shakes the land at Jesus’ death.
Daniel hurries back to the Disciples, who are hiding from Roman soldiers, with the news of Jesus’ death. Meanwhile, Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus prepare Jesus’ body, bury it in a tomb cut into a hillside and cover the entrance with a huge stone.
Caiaphas, the Pharisee high priest, who did not accept Jesus as the Messiah, visits Pontius Pilate, counseling Pilate to seal the tomb since Jesus’ followers said He would rise from death on the third day. Pilate agrees and posts guards, but angels appear and the tomb splits open in a glorious burst of light. Jesus first appears to Mary Magdalene when she visits the empty tomb. Then Jesus appears to the Disciples. He entrusts Simon Peter to take care of His “lambs and sheep”, and preaches for 40 days, asking His followers to teach His words to all peoples, everywhere.
His mission on earth completed, Jesus ascends into heaven in a stirring climax to the video, telling His followers He will come again. “Come quickly, Lord Jesus,” says the boy Daniel. “I’ll always be watching for You.”
Background: Celebration of Good Friday and Easter commemorates Jesus’ death and resurrection – the core of Christianity. Jesus died to break the power of sin and to restore our relationship with God. The resurrection assures us of our eternal life-victory over death, symbolizing hope for all humanity. Jesus called His Disciples to spread the good news of the Gospel, a call that speaks to us today.

Thank you so much for the “He is Risen” video and resource book! It was perfect timing for Easter. My two girls, Elizabeth (8) and Katie (5) have really enjoyed watching it -- several times in fact. The materials in the resource book are just perfect for their age groups too.
It has opened up doors for discussions about Jesus, especially with Katie. On Easter morning, we were talking through the Easter story. Katie wanted to know how to have her sins forgiven. We were able to talk and then pray about what the resurrection means and what it means to her personally!

First of all, thanks for adding those video clips to your site. (It makes browsing a lot more interesting). Second of all, my family likes this product a lot and watches it every Easter. The message about the real Easter story is so clear that even our youngest can grasp the concept. Great product.
