The Resurrection

God sent Jesus, his only son, to die for us. Jesus graciously gave up his life to save us from our sins. Jesus was whipped. He carried his own cross for his own death. Christ was crucified on the cross. They tore his clothes from him and spit on him. The crowd yelled and called him names. Jesus was hung on the cross, nails in his wrist. He had a crown made a thorns jammed into his head. On top of everything that had happened, they pierced his sides. His blood was clear, like water. Even after everything that he had been put through, Jesus forgave everyone. His last words were "Father, forgive them. They know not what they do." After Christ was dead, He was placed in a tomb. The guards rolled a large stone in front of the tomb, so no one could get in or out of it. Jesus had only stayed in the tomb for three days. He had risen from the tomb on that sunday, and came down for everyone to see. God's love for us is unbelievable, that He would sacrifice his son to fulfill his plan. God's plan will one day be fulfilled through us.
