PYP Easter Chapel: Jesus is Risen!
Updated: Apr 20, 2025
Our core belief: Jesus’ death and resurrection.
Themes: sacrifice, atonement for sin, and ultimate love
Significance for humanity: Offered a path to forgiveness and reconciliation with God
Themes: hope, new life, and victory over death
Significance for humanity: Offered a hope of a future resurrection (death is not final)
God's Words:
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
Apostle Paul, 53, 54, or 55
First Epistle to the Corinthians 15:3-8
The Three Gifts of Jesus' Resurrection:
Forgiveness of our PAST sins
Power for our PRESENT life
Hope for the FUTURE
Happy Easter!!!
Seeing how the Primary Years Programme students came together for the Easter chapel celebration is really heartwarming, especially with the younger year levels leading the songs and reflections so confidently. School assemblies like this do a wonderful job of building community spirit and giving kids a chance to shine in front of their peers. Just last week I was helping my younger cousin look up funny speech topics for his uni communications class, and it reminded me how valuable early public speaking opportunities like chapel presentations really are for building confidence later in life. Lovely to see the students embracing the message with such genuine enthusiasm!
