God in your own words, like this:

“Dear God, I know I’m a sinner. I believe that

your Son Jesus died for me. I trust you to

WHAT’S MISSING?Did you figure out which object is missing? I hope it

wasn’t too obvious or too easy. But sometimes things

are so important that they are VERY obvious when

they’re missing! Let me tell you about the greatest

“what’s missing” story of all time.

On a Sunday morning 2000 years ago, three wom-

en went to prepare the dead body of Jesus for burial. It

had been quickly wrapped and put into a stone tomb

the Friday before. The men who put it there had to

rush to finish before a religious day of rest began at

sundown. So, on Sunday, these women were coming

to complete the job of adding burial spices and oint-

ments to the wrappings (Luke 23:56, 24:1).

When they arrived, they were surprised to find that

the large stone covering the door of the tomb was rolled

back. Jesus’ body was missing! They couldn’t imagine

what had happened! Then two angels appeared and re-

minded the women that Jesus had said he would die and

then be raised to life (Luke 24:2–10).

No wonder Jesus was missing . . . a tomb isn’t for liv-

ing people!

WHY DID JESUS DIE?Jesus’ resurrection—coming back to life after his death on

a cross—proved that he really was the Son of God. But if

he hadn’t come back to life, it would mean that God hadn’t

accepted his substitution for us. We would have been

doomed.

You see, God’s book, the Bible, tells us that “all have

sinned” (Romans 3:23)! Sins are things that get us in

trouble with our parents, teachers, and even our friends…

like saying or doing mean or hateful things. Stuff

that usually has consequences we don’t like! What’s

worse is that our sins have consequences with God.

The Bible says that our sins “have made a separa-

tion” between us and God (Isaiah 59:2). That’s not

what God wants. He wants us to spend forever with

him in heaven when our life on earth is over. But he

wants us to become part of his “family” right now

and live a life that pleases him.

That’s why Jesus Christ, God’s Son, became a

man and took the punishment for the sins of every

person. The Bible says, “God shows his love for us

in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for

us…that whoever believes in him should not perish

but have eternal life” (Romans 5:8, John 3:16). Then

Jesus came back to life three days later! Hundreds

of people saw him before he returned to heaven

(1 Corinthians 15:3–8).

ARE YOU MISSING… FROM GOD’S FAMILY?God is ready to forgive your sins and give you the

“gift of God”—eternal life (Ephesians 2:8)! The Bible

says that “everyone who believes in [Jesus] receives

forgiveness of sins” (Acts 10:43). “Believing”

means that you are placing your full confidence

in God’s way as the only way to be forgiven and

receive the gift of eternal life. Those who believe

also “become children of God” (John 1:12)!

If you’re missing from God’s family and you

truly believe that Jesus died for you, you can tell

God in your own words, like this:

“Dear God, I know I’m a sinner. I believe that

your Son Jesus died for me. I trust you to

forgive my sins and to give me life that lasts

forever. Thank you that I can become one of

your children! I love you!”

Don’t miss out on becoming part of God’s

forever family!
