Because He Loves Us

Read the Story

Some leaders took Jesus to a ruler named Pilate. Pilate asked Jesus, "Are you the King of the Jews?"

Pilate let them put Jesus on a cross. Jesus died there. He did it because He loves us. He took the punishment for our sins.

A soldier saw Jesus die. He said, "Truly this man was the Son of God!" A man named Joseph put Jesus' body in a tomb. He rolled a stone in front of it.

Memory Verse
