Summary

Some of Jesus's followers put His body in a borrowed tomb and waited until they could prepare His body for burial after the Sabbath.

When they arrived Sunday morning, they found the stone rolled away, the guards in a daze, and the tomb empty. An angel was there instead and told them Jesus was not there. He is alive!

At first, Jesus's followers found it hard to believe, but Jesus came to them and talked with them. He explained how his life and the events of the last few days fulfilled many prophesies and promises in the Old Testament.

Although the religious leaders tired to cover up the story, Jesus's followers would not keep quite; their Savior was about to send them on a mission that would change the whole world!
