We're been going through the stories leading up to Easter! On Palm Sunday the children will have an opportunity to help lead us in worship with palm branches!
You can find the Easter story in Luke 22-24. The Message is an easy-to-read version. You can jump to it here!
- What were the people saying when Jesus rode into Jerusalem? (See John 12: Hosanna! Blessed is the King!)
- Why were they so happy he was coming? (They thought the Messiah would become King, soon, and change everything!)
- When Jesus had a special meal with the disciples, what did he do? (Talked about, bread & wine and his body & blood)
- Why was Jesus saying these things? (Because he knew he would die on the cross, but also raise to life again)
- Why does it matter that Jesus died on the cross? (Because he gave his life, his sacrifice covered our sins and made a way for us to back to God. We can never be perfect enough. So God made a way. This is how we know Jesus loves us so!)
- Why does it matter that Jesus raised to life again and the tomb was empty? (Because we can live a new kind of life too!)
