Tomb of Jesus

As you continue on your bible adventure to the Tomb of Jesus scene – a theatrical staged performance. The scene will be dimly lit. You see a large curtain with a slide presentation with a narration explaining the breaking of legs and the piercing of the side of Jesus, Jesus taken down from the cross, Jesus being carried from the tomb and being laid in the tomb and the seal of the tomb. After the presentation, the lights go out, the curtain opens and the performance begins. You realize that you are staring at the tomb of Jesus and you see the stone is open to the tomb and you see lying on the stone white linen clothes and the napkin that was about His head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Mary Magdalene is on her knees and you hear her weeping. Moments pass as you listen to Mary crying. An Angel appears at the head of the stone slab and another appears at the foot of the stone slab where Jesus had laid. They speak to Mary (To the audience) and they say:

Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen!
Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. He has risen!

Mary Magdalene glanced over her shoulder and saw someone standing behind her – it was Jesus but she does not recognize him. Jesus says to her, "Why are you crying? Whom are you looking for?" Mary Magdalene thought he was the gardener. "Sir, she said, if you have taken him away tell me where you have put him and I will go get him." "Mary!" Jesus said. Mary Magdalene turned toward him. "Master!" She exclaimed, realizing it was Jesus. Jesus said, "Do not touch me," he cautioned," as I have not ascended to the father. But go find my brothers and tell them that I have ascended to my father and your father, my God, and your God."
