Lesson for April 4, 2026
THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST
Scripture reading: Matt. 28:1-15.
Memory verse: Matt. 28:6.
1. What answer did Jesus give to those who sought a sign from Him? Matt. 12:40.
2. When was our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ resurrected? Matt. 28:1-6.
Note. Thus, we see that He fulfilled His one sign that He was the true Messiah. He was crucified in the midst of the week, thus causing the sacrifice and the oblation to cease (Dan. 9:27), and He arose in the end of the Sabbath as it began to dawn (Greek: draw on) toward the first day of the week.
3. What other visits were made to His tomb? Mark 16:1-6; Luke 24:1-12.
4. To whom did our Lord Jesus appear first after He had risen? Mark 16:9.
Note. “Was risen” is in the past perfect tense and means some time in the past. “Early the first day of the week” tells the time that He appeared to Mary Magdalene. The comma apparently is misplaced as we also find in Acts 19:12 Punctuation is not a part of inspiration, as the ancient manuscripts were not punctuated.
5. What is John’s account of the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ? John 20:1-6.
6. Were there several visits made to the tomb according to the reports given by the writers of the Gospels? Luke 24:22-24.
Note. Here we note in verse 23 the word “also” which shows that both companies of these women had been to the tomb and had “also” seen the angels. Then some went again and found it “even as they had said.” Hence there are three visits recorded in the narrative. At a time of such great excitement, it is quite possible that there were many more visits made to the empty tomb.
7. How can John 19:31 be explained, which says He was hanging on the cross just before the Sabbath? Lev. 23:4-7.

Somo la Aprili 4, 2026 (Aviv 17, 5786)
UFUFUO WA MASIHI
Somo Kuu: Mt. 28:1-15.
Fungu La Kukariri: Mt. 28:6.
1. Je, Yahshua alijibu nini kwa wale waliotaka ishara kutoka kwake? Mt. 12:40.
2. Je, Bwana na Mwokozi wetu Yahshua Masihi alifufuliwa lini? Mt. 28:1-6.
Maelezo. Hivyo tunaona kwamba alitimiza ishara yake moja kwamba alikuwa Masihi wa kweli. Alisulubishwa katikati ya juma, hivyo akasababisha dhabihu na sadaka kukoma (Dan. 9:27), naye alifufuka mwishoni mwa Sabato ilipokuwa inakaribia kufika (Kiyunani: kufika) siku ya kwanza ya juma.
3. Je, ziara nyingine zilifanywa katka kaburi Lake? Marko 16:1-6; Luka 24:1-12.
4. Je, Bwana wetu Yahshua alimtokea nani kwanza baada ya kufufuliwa? Marko 16:9.
Maelezo. “Alifufuliwa” iko katika wakati timilifu na inamaanisha muda fulani uliopita. “Mapema siku ya kwanza ya juma” inasema wakati alimtokea Maria Magdalena. Mkomo unaonekana umewekwa vibaya k**a tunavyoona pia katika Matendo. 19:12. Alama za uandishi si sehemu ya msukumo wa kimbinguni, kwani maandishi ya kale hayakuwa na alama za uandishi.
5. Je, habari ya Yohana juu ya kuonekana kwa Bwana wetu Yahshua Masihi ni ipi? Yohana 20:1-6.
6. Je, kulikuwa na ziara nyingi zilizofanywa kwa kaburi kulingana na ripoti zilizotolewa na waandishi wa Injili? Luka 24:22-24.
Maelezo. Hapa tunagundua katika mstari wa 23 neno “pia” linaloonyesha kwamba makundi yote mawili ya wanawake hawa walikuwa kwenye kaburi na walikuwa “pia” wameona malaika. Kisha wengine walikwenda tena na kukuta “k**a walivyosema.” Kwa hivyo kuna ziara tatu zilizoandikwa katika masimulizi. Katika wakati wa msisimko mkubwa hivyo, inawezekana sana kwamba ziara nyingi zaidi zilifanywa kwa kaburi tupu.
7. Je, Yohana 19:31 inawezaje kuelezwa, inayosema alikuwa akining’inia msalabani kablaya Sabato? Law. 23:4-7.
