MenuThe story summary and questions were written in a way that makes it possible to use a New Testament reference in place of the Urantia reference. A selected chapter from a 1932 book, titled Treasure-House of the Living Religions, supports a spiritual theme that is found within the story. Children will use a one page handout that includes a coloring picture.
Paper 191:2
The Urantia Book
On Sunday morning, the apostles heard reports that Jesus’ tomb was empty. They also heard from people who said they had actually seen Jesus. But the apostles were filled with doubt and fear. Finally on Sunday evening, Jesus appeared to the apostles. All of them were present except Thomas. It happened when they were inside the house that served as their hiding place. The doors were locked, but Jesus suddenly appeared among them saying, “Peace be upon you.”
Discussion Questions
Jesus had promised his apostles many times that he would rise from the dead on the third day. Why did they not have faith in that promise? Can you think of some promises that Jesus makes, even now, to all of us?
He it is Who sendeth down a spirit of secure repose
into the hearts of the faithful,
that they might add faith to their faith. (Islam)
Be not faithless, but believing. (Christianity)
