James and Ruth are outside playing when they are challenged by three ‘possums about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Follow along as they listen to common arguments against the resurrection and see how they respond with boldness and grace in ‘Possums and the Empty Tomb by J.D. Camorlinga.
“Do you think Jesus’ tomb looked like this big rock?” James asked Ruth, after they discovered a big hollowed out rock. Suddenly ‘possums’ appeared out of the rock, and they wanted to know who Jesus was. After James and Ruth explain His death and resurrection, the ‘possums are not convinced. “What if the disciples just stole Jesus’ body… Maybe Jesus’ friends went to the wrong tomb… Maybe He pretended He was dead…” the three ‘possums argue. From the soldiers guarding the tomb to the location of the tomb not being a secret, James and Ruth answer in kindness, grace, and love to every question.
The authors note points out that the Christian faith is a historical faith that is rooted upon the historical event of Jesus being raised from the dead. If Christ has not been raised, then our faith is in vain (1 Cor. 15:14). This book teaches kids, and even adults, how to respond to disputes accurately and courageously. Prepare your children now, so that they will know what to say when they are inevitably attacked by “possums.”
This book is fantastic and theologically sound in showing children how to walk in their faith. The story is short and simple, yet it packs in so much wonderful information. James and Ruth successfully convince the ‘possums of the resurrection because they are patient with them, kind to them, and take the time to thoroughly answer them without ever undermining their questions. I highly recommend adding this thought-provoking story from Picture Book Apologetics to your Easter baskets, so that your kids can learn not only about the resurrection, but how to boldly defend it!
