Catechism for Young Children · Question 137 of 145
Did Christ remain in the tomb after his crucifixion?
A.No; he rose from the tomb on the third day after his death.
What does this answer mean?
Christ did not remain in the tomb: he rose on the third day after his death. The resurrection is the heart of the Christian hope, and Easter and every Lord's Day remember it. Because Christ rose, death is defeated for all who trust him.
What can we ask our children?
- Did Christ stay in the tomb?
- On what day did he rise?
- Who found the tomb empty?
