Hi my name is tubby and I leave here in this wonderful library
and I love to eat books I live here with my friends gumbo and freckles
there on the Bible is holy she's really wonderful and tells us awesome stories from the Bible
whenever she is awake that is
Hi Holy please tell us another story all right I will
but today's story is a really sad one why but you never tell us sad stories
I know but today's story is about Jesus's death
and I know how much children love him. Oh jesus I am quite sure jesus can't die holy
tell us a story well children Jesus was arrested the priests were jealous of Jesus
and wanted him to die so they made the people go against him
the Roman governor Pilate knew that Jesus was innocent
but he could not do anything to save Jesus
so Jesus was taken to a place called skull Hill
also called Golgotha. outside Jerusalem where he would be crucified and put to death
two other thieves were also being put to death along with Jesus
Jesus was put on a cross by the guards and then set up right on the ground
many of his followers and disciples had gathered to see him
for the last time. among the people with Jesus's mother Mary
and one of his closest disciples John
before he died Jesus prayed to the Lord father please forgive them
for they do not know what they are doing
then he looked at John and said John Mary will be your mother
he looked at Mary and said mother John will now be our son
the priests were getting very impatient the guards that made sure that the two thieves were dead
by the time they reached Jesus he was already dead
they pierced him to check if he was dead or not
John took Mary to his house and took care of her from that moment onwards
now who will answer my question today Jesus can't die he is the son of god
hanging there freckles keep the faith now answer my question
what was the name of the place where Jesus was crucified
Skull hill but it was also called golgatha wasn't it Holy.
yes both of you are correct now let us all sing together
that should make freckles happy come on freckles sing along with us
Hi Holy wake up it is time to you to tell us a story who said I was asleep I was just sitting here
we are waiting. But holy I hope this isn't another sad story
I would like to hear sad stories well there is hope in this one I hope you won't feel sad
after listening to this story
so Jesus was put to death on a cross at place called Golgotha
which was outside Jerusalem after Jesus died on the cross
one of his secret followers Joseph asked for permission from Pilate
the Roman governor to bury Jesus's body
Joseph was a rich man who had come from Arimathea
so Joseph and his friend Nicodemus took jesus' body to be buried
Nicodemus was another secret disciple of Jesus
like his friend Joseph they wrapped Jesus in a clean cloth
and took him to a newly built tune that was not very far away from Golgotha
Nicodemus had brought a special mixture of myrrh and pello
they spread the mixture all over the body of Jesus and
wrapped in a clean linen according to Jewish customs
after everything was done Joseph and Nicodemus closed the tomb with a huge boulder
many people were waiting outside
Mary Magdalene was one of them Jewish leaders knew that Jesus had made a promise
that he would rise from death after three days
so they all went to Pilate and requested him to seal the tomb
and guarded with soldiers all day and all night to make sure
them none of Jesus's disciples to try to steal his body
Pilate agreed the priests seal the tomb and it remained under the watchful eyes off the guards
I knew Jesus could'nt die if we promised that he would rise from death
and I'm sure he will we will wait and see freckles
now my question what was the name of the woman who was standing in front of the tomb
when Jesus was being buried.
It was Mary Magdalene correct now off you go children I will tell you another story tomorrow
Wake up holy it is time for you to tell us a story
please don't sleep anymore yes we have come to listen to your story
and also answer your question at the end sure sure
let's start with today's story
tubby listen to the story carefully
it was a very sad time in Jerusalem since Jesus had been crucified
darkness had fallen on the whole town
the people were very sad because they had lost their God
it was on the third day since Jesus's death that the Sun was finally rising
it was a Sunday morning Mary from Bethany
and Mary Magdalene two women who loved Jesus very much
came to the tomb where Jesus was kept
suddenly there was an earthquake and an angel appeared before them
rolling away the large stone covering the mouth of the tomb
he sat by the open tomb while the inside of the tomb was flashing like lightning
the guards of the tomb were afraid very scared
they fell down with fear the angel knew that the women had come to see Jesus
so he said you will find him in the tomb Jesus has left death behind
just as he said he would the angel showed the women the place in the tomb
where Jesus had lain
the angel then sent a message to Jesus's disciples
through the women that Jesus would be found in Galilee
where they should go and meet him
happy at this miracle the women run back to tell the people this good news
but how did the jesus come out of tomb silly he is the son of God
you can do anything yes so the question for today is
what happened when the angel rolled away the stone from Jesus's tomb
there was an earthquake very good tubby
you're really paying attention today
now I am off to sleep I'm feeling very tired and sleepy
Hello children that was a lovely song
We sang that just for you we practiced and practiced and practiced
I'm sure you did and because all of you thanks so beautifully
I will tell you a nice story from the Bible
that I just read yes
we cannot wait do tell us all right the followers of Jesus once met in a room
where they had eaten their last supper with him
the door was locked because they were scared that the Jewish leaders might find them
suddenly Jesus was there with them he said
peace be with you why are you scared I am Jesus
the followers couldn't speak because it was so happy to see him
Jesus told them that he would send them out to the world to do his work
just as God had sent him he told them to hide until he sent the Holy Spirit to them
one of the followers Thomas is not in the room at the time
when the others told him about Jesus he don't believe them
he said I will not believe all this I have seen and touched him myself
a few days later Jesus once again came to the room followers with Steve
the door was locked this time too this time Thomas was with them
Jesus said to Thomas happy and blessed are those who cannot see me
yet believe in me after Thomas had touched Jesus and had seen his hands
where the nails have been put in for the cross Thomas bowed down and cried
my lord my lord Jesus said we believe because you can see me
happy and blessed are those who cannot see me yet
believe in me oh my god holy how could followers doubt jesus
I can't see him but believe in him
Tubby that is nice now I will ask a question
which follower doubted that Jesus had come to see them
I think I know it is doublting Thomas
