Happy Easter! The tomb is empty, and Jesus is alive

In today’s episode of the True Tale Trail, we’re going to take a look at an important piece of evidence to help our kids know why they can trust Jesus.

Jesus didn’t just come back to life on Easter morning. He came back to life, and let plenty of people see Him!

In fact, in 1 Corinthians 15:6, Paul said that Jesus appeared to more 500 people!

In this episode, kids will meet one of the eyewitnesses to the resurrection, a skeptical disciple named Thomas. Thomas thought the good news sounded too good to be true until he came face-to-face with the living Savior.
