Continuing the Easter story, we visit Matthew 27:1-2 — a section that sets the stage for some of the most dramatic moments leading to Sunday.

The study lesson today comes from Matthew 27:45-56 where Jesus dies on the cross. Good Friday marks the profound moment at the heart of Easter, when Jesus gave His life on the cross.

In this Easter Bible study lesson Jesus is laid in a borrowed tomb and guards are posted. Matthew 27:57-66 tells the story.
