Easter Bible Verses for Cards

It’s important to remember why we celebrate Easter, so including a Bible verse within your Easter greetings is a beautiful way to honor the real reason we rejoice today!

Acts 3:15 15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.

Acts 4:33 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all

John 11:25 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;

John 14:6 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Luke 23: 46-47 46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last. 47 The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.”

Luke 24: 5-7 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? 6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”

Matthew 20:18-19 18 “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death 19 and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!”

Matthew 28:5-7 5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

Mark 15: 32 32 Let this Messiah, this king of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

Mark 16:1-4 1When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away.

Mark 16: 5-6 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. 6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.

Easter Poems

Poems are always fun and kids seem to love them! Teach them some of these!

Cottontail Groove

A wiggle, a hop! A big bunny ear flop!
This is a bunny dance, better tighten your pants!
Get in a line and hop, hop hop!
A shake, a move, it’s the cottontail groove!

He is Risen

He is risen! He’s alive!
Check the tomb, he’s not inside!
He made a promise and was crucified,
He showed no fear as He needn’t hide!

Jesus Christ, he told us so!
Little did we believe, little did we know
that He spoke the truth with each word!
Now He is risen, His voice is heard!

Easter Egg Hunt

One egg, two eggs, three eggs, four!
Find some eggs and search for more!
Six eggs, seven eggs, eight eggs, nine!
Open them up to see what’s inside!

Will it be jelly beans?
Will it be candy?
Will it be money or something dandy?
Whatever’s inside, join in the fun!
When they say “go!” you run, run, run!

Untitled by Charles Wesley

Christ the Lord is risen today,
Sons of men and angels say.
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply.

  • Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won’t stay there.  -Clarence W. Hall
