BONUS: Why Do We Say "He Is Risen"? | The Easter Cheer Every Kid Should Know | Carpooling with Jesus

🎙️ Welcome to Carpooling with Jesus!
Hey carpool crew, Happy Easter weekend! I’m Pastor Justin, and today’s episode is all about one of the most powerful Easter traditions ever: the Resurrection Cheer—“He is risen!” and the joyful response, “He is risen indeed!”

But have you ever wondered… what does that actually mean? Why do we say it? And why does it matter? Today we’re breaking it down in a fun, faith-filled way that will help every kid understand the celebration behind those words.

📖 Bible Connection:

After Jesus rose from the dead, His friends couldn’t stop talking about it. They saw Him. They ate with Him. They KNEW He was alive. And early Christians began greeting each other with a cheer of faith that still echoes today:
✨ He is risen!
✨ He is risen indeed!

💡 One Thing for the Ride:

When we say, “He is risen indeed,” we’re saying:
👉 “I believe the best news ever—Jesus is alive!”

---

🙌 Try It Together:

Let’s practice!
🗣️ You say: “He is risen!”
💬 Your family replies: “He is risen indeed!”

It’s like shouting “WE WON!” after your team scores—except this time, it’s a victory over sin and death… and it’s for everyone!

🎉 Real Life Story:

At church one Easter, a little kid yelled back “TOTALLY!” when the pastor said, “He is risen.” Everyone laughed—but you know what? That’s exactly what “He is risen indeed” means: TOTALLY true. Absolutely. No doubt about it.

👨‍👩‍👧 Parent Tip:

Want to help this Easter message stick? Greet each other throughout the weekend with the resurrection cheer! It’s simple, joyful, and deeply meaningful.
And hey—if this episode encouraged you, text it to a few other parent friends so they can join the celebration too.

❓ Conversation Starter:

Instead of a question today, practice together:
🗣️ One person says, “He is risen!”
💬 Everyone replies, “He is risen indeed!”
Then ask: Who’s the first person you want to say it to at church?
