About this ebook
Jesus told his disciples he would be crucified, but he also said he would rise again on the third day. Nevertheless, when the soldiers arrested Jesus, the disciples fled. Jesus died and was buried and everyone thought that was the end. It seemed only the enemies of Jesus remembered his words. They ran to Pilate and said, "Make the tomb secure. His followers might come, steal his body and claim he rose from the dead." So Pilate sealed the tomb and set a 24-hour guard.
On the first day of the week an angel came and rolled back the stone revealing an empty tomb to the soldiers. Only the linen which had wrapped Jesus' body remained. The shocked soldiers fell down as dead men.
Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and wept because she thought someone had taken Jesus' body. Peter and John came, too. Peter saw the grave clothes and wondered. John saw the same evidence and believed.
During the next forty days, Jesus appeared to his disciples and other believers in various places and at different times. Some were frightened, others thought he was an apparition. Still others believed he had indeed risen from the dead and they worshiped him. They risked their lives to tell the world that Jesus' resurrection proved Jesus was who he claimed to be - the promised Messiah, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

I like to write, read, teach, sing, play the piano, swim, cook, play in the yard, and walk by the ocean. I prefer coloring books to plain paper, summer to winter, daytime to nightime, and morning to afternoon. I like large families, but I prefer to visit with one friend at a time. I love to study the Bible and discuss what God is doing in the world today, but I can't handle really scary adventure novels. I am more interested in people and animals than in rocks and plants. I tutor reading and writing and prefer second graders. I live with my husband Bill and cat Sasha in the center of California.

Preface
When the Romans crucified Jesus, most of Jesus’ disciples fled. Only John remained at the foot of the cross with Mary, Jesus’ mother. One of the last things Jesus did was give Mary into John’s care for him to take her into his home as his own mother.
That afternoon Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, two followers of Jesus, asked Pilate, the Roman governor, for Jesus’ body. They removed it from the cross, carefully wrapped the body and placed it in an unused tomb belonging to Joseph of Arimathea. Pilate heard rumors that Jesus’ disciples might come and
