Some ladies went to see Jesus. But Jesus wasn't there! The big rock was moved. Where was Jesus? They looked and looked.
Then two men came. They had bright, shiny clothes! The men said, "Jesus is not here. Jesus is alive! Jesus came back to life!"
The ladies were so happy! They ran to tell everyone. "Jesus is alive! Jesus is alive!"
Jesus loves you so much! Jesus came back to life for you! That's the best surprise ever!
Let's clap our hands! Jesus is alive! (Clap, clap, clap!) Jesus loves me! (Point to yourself!) Jesus loves you! (Point to children!)
Dear God, thank you for Jesus! Jesus is alive! We are so happy! Amen.
