Read Along (Matthew 28)

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

Read Along (Psalm 22)

[Many scholars believe that when Christ exclaimed from the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me," he was alluding to Psalm 22. Listen to the psalm and see if you agree.]

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me,
   so far from the words of my groaning?
My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
   by night, but I find no rest.

Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
   you are the praise of Israel.
In you our ancestors put their trust;
   they trusted and you delivered them.
They cried to you and were saved;
   in you they trusted and were not disappointed.

Listen to the Easter Story in Real Time

Powered by The Bible Experience

Sign up to hear the Easter story unfold…

Starting Sunday, April 17, Zondervan will launch a seven-part blog series that will let you hear the Easter story like never before.

Sign up for the series, and from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday you'll receive a new and exciting part of the Easter story told in dramatic audio. The audio clips, taken from The Bible Experience audio Bible, feature a full cast of actors, sound effects and a musical score. You will be immersed into the Easter events as if they're happening for the first time, in real time.

On Palm Sunday listen to the cheers at Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Later in the week hear Jesus kick the moneylenders out of the Temple. Then join the disciples at the Last Supper and in the Garden of Gethsemane. Be there for Christ's passion on Good Friday, the disciples' fear on Holy Saturday, and God's triumph on Resurrection Sunday.

 

We hope you decide to join us for this series. You won't forget it.

 

Here's what the Easter story clips will sound like:
