The Resurrection
JesusтАЩ crucifixion was not the end.
Origin
The New Testament; Mark 16
Story
When Mary Magdalene and two others went to anoint JesusтАЩ body with spices, they found that the stone to the tomb had been rolled over. When they went into the tomb, there was a young man in a white robe. He told them,┬атАЬIf you are looking for Jesus Christ who was crucified, He has risen from the dead!тАЭ
The women ran away, but were too afraid to say anything to anybody. Jesus then appeared to some of His other followers. Thomas was not present, and so he refused to believe until he was able to put his finger in JesusтАЩ wounds.
Jesus appeared to Thomas and allowed him to do just that. Thomas then believed that Jesus had risen, but Jesus said: тАЬBlessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.тАЭ
Moral
God blesses those who have faith without needing to see tangible proof.

The Crucifixion
There is no greater love than that of Jesus, for He died for us.
Origin
The New Testament; Mark 15
Story
Jesus was betrayed by Judas, one of His disciples, and was then taken before Pontius Pilate. The people urged Pontius to release a murderer named Barabas to them and to crucify Jesus.

They pierced his limbs, after which they nailed him to the cross and placed a sign above Him that read тАЬKing of the Jews.тАЭ Jesus cried out to God and then He died. All this happened according to the prophecy that Prophet Isaiah had made, which said the one God chose to take the punishment of the sins of His people would die in silence and would be hung on a tree.
Moral
Jesus was sent to take our sins on Him and suffer death in our place.

The Ten Virgins
This is a parable that Jesus told His followers to teach them the importance of living Holy lives.
Origin
The New Testament; Matthew 25
Story
Jesus told His followers a story of ten virgins who went out to meet a bridegroom. Five were fools, and five of them were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps with them, but they did not take any oil. The five wise women carried extra oil in jars.
The bridegroom was taking a long time to come, and soon, all the women fell asleep. Their lamps all burned out.
At midnight, there was a cry that the bridegroom was arriving and that they were to go and greet him. The five foolish women asked the wise women to lend them some oil, but the wise women refused, as there was not enough for two lamps and that they should go and buy some oil.
When they went about their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived, and the wise women welcomed and entered into the banquet hall with him. When the other 5 returned and asked to be let in, they were refused.
Moral
Live lives that are pleasing to God because you never know when the time will come for Him to take you home.

She thought that if she only got to touch His clothes, she would be healed. When Jesus felt power leave Him, he turned to see who was responsible. She was afraid that perhaps Jesus was angry,┬аbut this was not the case as Jesus was pleased with her. He said to her тАЬTake heart, daughter, for your faith has made you well.тАЭ
When Jesus reached the home of the ruler, He took the young girl by the hand, and she got up, alive and well.
