ABC Easter Lessons (ESV Lesson Set 2)

Lesson Themes

Whether you’re currently using Answers Bible Curriculum (ABC) or just looking for a seasonal lesson, our Easter lessons will help students focus on the real meaning and significance of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Students will be able to identify why Jesus suffered and died on the cross and why his resurrection is such an important part of the gospel. Most of all, they will see Jesus’ great love for them to take the punishment for sin and conquer death so they can have eternal life in heaven!

Lessons 1A and 1B cover Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, his crucifixion, and his resurrection in chronological fashion but may be used as standalone lessons, too. Lessons 2A and 2B are standalone topical lessons designed to equip students to share their faith with people of other religions and to recognize false theories used by skeptics to deny Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Lesson 2B: Discerning the Truth
