Katy: Why did they kill Jesus? What did he do that was so wrong?
Elizabeth: He was so nice, it makes me sad.
Katy: Remember when he raised Uncle Lazarus from the grave? Mary and
Martha were so happy. It was wonderful.
Hannah: All he did was to be kind and heal people, remember when he
healed the blind man?
Kerry: And he told us such interesting stories.
Elizabeth: What will his disciples do now - what will we do?
Katy: Why did they kill him? He didn’t do anything.
Hannah: Jesus didn’t do anything wrong. The people were listening to
Jesus and the religious leaders got jealous. Jesus was telling us about loving
each other and not just about strict laws. Jesus really cared about people. The
religious leaders didn’t like him saying he was the Son of God, so they killed
him.
(Sarah comes in carrying a pitcher.)
Sarah: Guess what I heard at the well?
Everyone: What Sarah?
Sarah: Some people said that Jesus’ tomb was open. That the guards
had fallen asleep or something.
Katy: I’m going out for a while.
Sarah: Do you think someone might take Jesus’ body if the tomb is
open? He’s dead - who would want to take his body?
Elizabeth: Hannah, do you believe Jesus was the Son of God?
Hannah: Yes, I know he was. I had a terrible disease, no one could help
cure me and when I touched his garment, I believed he could heal me, and I was
healed immediately! Yes, I know he was the Son of God. He was the most wonderful
person I have ever known! I will always remember the love in his eyes when he
looked at me.
Katy: (Rushing in all excited.) Guess what? Jesus is alive, I
saw Him! I went to the garden where the tomb is, I saw Mary Magdalene talking to
Jesus, I was hiding behind a bush and I made a noise and Jesus turned and looked
at me and smiled...He is alive! I ran here to tell you all. Isn’t it great!
Everyone: He’s alive?
Katy: Yes, He is alive!
Hannah: Praise God, He is the Son of God, just like he said.
(Elizabeth and Kerry join hands and dance around.)
Everyone sings, ‘Christ The Lord Is Risen Today’.
