The Barefoot Evangelist

Read Matthew 28:1-10 with your family.

Early on Sunday morning, Mary Magdalene and another woman named Mary went to visit Jesus’ tomb. They were sad because Jesus had died. But when they got there, something amazing had happened. The stone in front of the tomb had been rolled away, and an angel told them, “Do not be afraid. Jesus is not here. He has risen!”

The women were surprised and a little afraid, but they were also filled with joy. They hurried away from the tomb to tell the disciples the good news. As they were walking along the path, suddenly Jesus met them. He greeted them, and the women were so happy to see him alive!

Jesus told them not to be afraid. Then he asked them to go and tell his friends that he was alive and that they would see him again.

This story reminds us that when God does something wonderful, we can share the good news too. Just like the women ran to tell others about Jesus, we can share joy, kindness, and love with the people around us.
