7-Day Devotional

Many have sought to answer the two questions below:

• Why was Jesus’ tomb empty?
• Why were people saying that Jesus rose from the dead?
  

In this 7-day devotional kids will be "detectives" to investigate six different ideas that seek to answer these questions to see which idea(s) are TRUE and which are FALSE. They will use the eyewitness testimony from the Gospels as their evidence.

Appropriate for adults or a family devotional as well.
