LESSONS AND HANDOUTS FOR THIS WEEK

World Sunday School first appeared on the Internet on May 14, 2003. Since that time, this independent website has supplied weekly graded Sunday School lessons and handouts (and, often, coloring pages) to help Sunday School teachers worldwide. We hope to help preserve the Sunday School movement which had its glory days in the 1930's. In a time when so many churches are downsizing Sunday Schools, we aim to preserve this Christian teaching to enrich the life of children and youth worldwide.

Resurrection, by CindyGirl

CURRENT LESSON PLAN
The Resurrection
April 9, 2023

This Easter I want us to reflect upon the resurrection of Christ and its significance to us.  We should reflect on this everyday, but today is a special day in which we celebrate the risen Christ.  May our heart’s burn with passion for the Risen Lord as we take a tour of the scriptures and the ones that were witness to the events before and after Christ arose.

Picture it with your spiritual eyes for a moment with me as we journey through the life of Christ on this earth.  Jesus has been born.  A sweet little baby in a manger, he has grown up working and has been walking in the world.  He has called his disciples to follow him.  He has been doing many miracles the past few years.  He has healed the sick of various diseases, he has opened blinded eyes, made the lame to walk, and brought the dead back to the life.  For a moment imagine that you have been walking with him during this time and witnessed all the things he has been doing.  You have been with him as he taught the Sermon on the Mount of Olives, with him as he taught in the temple.  You have heard with your ears the very voice of the Darling Lamb of God teaching the words of life. 

In this group is Peter, Andrew, James, John.  Also in this group there is Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddacus, Simon, and Judas Iscariot.  There also are many others such as Joanna, Susanna and Mary Magdalene to whom Jesus has cast out seven devils and has changed her heart and her life completely. (Luke 8)  You were there to see the multitudes that came to hear the words of Jesus, and to see as He lifted up his hands to heaven and thanked His Father then fed thousands with two fish and five loaves of bread. (Matthew 14)

 This group of disciples with you, they not only just heard Jesus’ words, but they have lived among him day and night.  Imagine you were there on the boat with the disciples when the great storm tossed them on the waters and suddenly Jesus came walking toward you on the sea.  You saw as Peter stepped out of the boat and he walked toward Jesus, and as he sank, Christ lovingly lifted him up saving him. (Matthew 14)  Imagine you were there as he stopped the crowd from stoning the woman caught in the act of adultery. 


GOD Bless You All. : )


CURRENT HANDOUT
The Resurrection
1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.  3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.  4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:  5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?  6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,  7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
