Lesson Summary
Main Idea
••God always wins,
even over Satan,
sin, and death.
Memory Verse
Yours, O LORD, is the
greatness and the
power and the glory
and the victory…
—1 Chronicles 29:11a
Scripture
1)1 Chronicles 29:11a
2)Matthew 27:57-60
3)Matthew 28:2-9
4)John 6:40
5)Romans 5:12
6)1 Corinthians 15:54b-57
7)1 John 1:9
At first glance, when reading through the accounts of Jesus’ death on the
cross, it hard to envision Him as a victorious Savior—even more so for
those who witnessed this event firsthand. All seemed lost and hopeless.
It appeared that His great and glorious mission had failed.
In this lesson, we vividly described the biblical account of the
burial and resurrection of Jesus, and then explained the significance of
His victory over Satan, sin, and death. Finally, we made the point that
God is always victorious over all powers, people, circumstances, etc. He
always has the final say.
Prayer Points
As you review this lesson with your child, pray...
• that your child will be newly awakened to the reality of
the resurrection.
• that he or she will more fully see and understand the
significance of Jesus’ victory over death and embrace Him as
the living Savior.
As You Walk By The Way
•• Talk about a winning sports team or player. Could the members
of a winning team win against Satan, sin, or death? No, of course
not. Why would winning against Satan, sin, and death be much
more important than winning a sports game? Could winning a
sports game protect you from Satan? Could it remove God’s wrath
at your sin? Could it defeat death? Who is the only One that was
completely victorious over those things? How can we be sure that
Jesus actually won? [After He died on the cross, He came alive
again. People really saw Him and met with Him afterward.]
•• Ask your child what kinds of things make him or her afraid. Point out
that even adults are afraid of things. One thing that many people fear
most is death—they wonder what will happen when they die. What
should death remind us of? [God’s punishment for sin] Why is it good
news that Jesus was victorious over death? Does His victory help
us in any way? Read and talk about Jesus’ words from John 6:40:
“For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the
Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise
him up on the last day.”

•• Explain that because Jesus was victorious over
Satan, sin, and death, He removed the penalty
of sin from God’s people—everyone who is
trusting in Him.
responses: His Word, the Holy Spirit,
memorized Bible verses, prayer, the help of
other Christians, etc.] What can Christians do
when we fail to win against a temptation and
sin? Read and talk about 1 John 1:9: “If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness.”
Would it be a good idea for God’s people to
go and try to keep on sinning? Why not? What
“tools” or help has Jesus given His people
to fight against Satan and sin? [Possible
