John 20 — Jesus visits Mary, the disciples, and Thomas

Illustration depicting Jesus with his disciples, highlighting the message 'Jesus is Alive!' from John 20.

This presentation is based on John 20. It highlights Mary Magdalene seeing Jesus at the tomb and Jesus visiting the disciples again while Thomas is there. We are encouraged to believe it — Jesus is alive! He gave his witnesses proof. They believed and we can too! We start this presentation by making resurrection rolls with marshmallows and croissant bread. We also make some cute bag puppets to help tell the story.

This presentation focuses more on the event of Jesus’ resurrection. There was an earthquake, Jesus rose, an angel rolled away the stone, soldiers fell then ran, and women came. The angel and Jesus had good news for the ladies and a message for His disciples. Jesus is not dead. He is alive! He will meet you. We, too, have the assurance that we, too, will see Him! Because He lives, we too will live forever with Him! Praise God!
