Bring a roll or a pack of yeast into the class. Talk about yeast, explain that bread without yeast is flat. When you mix yeast with warm water and sugar it produces a gas that causes the bread to rise. Yeast gives bread rising power.

  Jesus died on the cross for  of the world, but Jesus had never sinned. He had never said a curse word. He had never stolen money from his mother’s pocket. Jesus never sinned. Because Jesus never sinned death could not hold Him captive. God’s outstretched arm brought rising power that set Jesus free from the bondage of death, hell and the grave.

Because Jesus arose from the dead, He promised that every believer would rise again. That rising power or resurrection power is called the Blessed Hope of the church. One day Jesus is coming back again. The dead will rise first, and all that remain will rise to be with the Lord.
