Good news story guide
Jesus died and rose
Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again. He is alive and welcomes us to trust him and follow him.
Read the Bible passage together, then choose an activity that suits your child. This short home guide is not a full Bible Club session.
Main truth
Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again. He is alive and welcomes us to trust him and follow him.
Parent steps
- Explain that this is a serious and joyful part of the Bible's true story.
- Read selected age-appropriate parts of Luke 23:32-49 without adding graphic detail.
- Say clearly that Jesus had done no wrong and willingly gave his life for our sins according to God's saving plan.
- Read Luke 24:1-12 and 1 Corinthians 15:3-4.
- Offer a private response: listen, thank Jesus that he is alive, or draw a question for a parent.
Activity choices
Bible Explorers
Arrange four gospel statements from 1 Corinthians 15:3-4: Christ died for our sins, was buried, was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures.
Family-length option
Read Luke 24:1-12 at home and ask, 'What good news did the women hear?'
Concrete questions
- Was the tomb full or empty?
- Which four gospel facts does Paul summarise?
- What question would you like to ask about Jesus?
Gentle prayer response
Thank you, Jesus, that you died for our sins and rose again. Help us hear this good news with trust and hope.
Safety note
Do not pressure a public decision, count conversions, imply a repeated prayer saves by its wording, depict God the Father as a visible person, or treat questions as unwelcome.
