Even though you do wrong, Jesus loves you!
Our Bible Story:
The Bible Story
for today is from
Luke
22:47-24:12
Jesus dies and
rises to new life.
After Jesus
had eaten dinner with and washed the feet of his disciples, he went off to a
garden to pray by himself. He knew that awful things were going to happen to
him that night, but he was willing to suffer to help others. As he was praying,
soldiers took him away to the city for a trial. Even though Jesus had done noting
wrong, the people thought Jesus should die, and the king agreed to have Jesus
crucified.
Jesus was
forced to walk through the city with a heavy wooden cross while people yelled
insults at him. Once Jesus reached Golgotha, which means “place of the skull,”
his hands and knees were nailed to the cross. Jesus was in pain, and he could
have ended his punishment at any time, but he agreed to the suffering, because
he loves us. Jesus died for us, even though he knows that we all make mistakes
sometimes.
Jesus was not
the only person who died on a cross that day. There were two other criminals
who died. One of the prisoners was making fun of Jesus, but the other praised
the Lord. The faithful criminal asked Jesus to remember him in Heaven and to
forgive his sins. This criminal died next to Jesus, and then went to live with him
forever in Heaven, because even though
you do wrong… Jesus loves you!
When Jesus
died, his body was taken to a tomb, which was covered with a huge stone.
However, three days after his death, Jesus’ friends went to check on his body,
and found that the stone was gone, and so was the body of Jesus. He was
resurrected, just like he said he would be!
