Discussion
In this game you might gotten confused about
whether is was inside or outside. The disciples had the
same confusion on Easter morning. Was Jesus in the
tomb or out of the tomb? Its a question many people
are still asking today! Scripture tells us he was no
longer in the tomb. Jesus has Risen! We don’t need to
be confused anymore.

Closing Application
Do you believe Jesus has risen and is no
longer in the tomb? Have you placed your
faith in Christ so that you also can rise with
him in the future resurrection?
