www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com DiscussionIn this game you might gotten confused about whether is was inside or outside. The disciples had the same confusion on Easter morning. Was Jesus in the tomb or out of the tomb? Its a question many people are still asking today! Scripture tells us he was no longer in the tomb. Jesus has Risen! We don’t need to be confused anymore. www.CreativeEasterIdeas.com
