Story Focus: We finish March by celebrating Jesus’ resurrection as described in Luke 24:1-12, 36-49. God went to great lengths to make peace with us. All of God’s promises came true, and everything that Jesus said and did lead up to this moment. When Jesus paid the price for our sin on the cross and then came back to life, He made it possible for us to have peace with God forever! THAT is something to celebrate.
Bottom Line: Jesus is alive. As we celebrate Easter this year, we want kids to know why we make such a big deal about this special day. Jesus isn’t just some person that said and did some cool things a long time ago. We believe that Jesus is God’s Son . . . and through Him, we can have life forever with God. That’s only possible because Jesus is alive! We pray that kids will understand what Jesus has done for them and choose to put their trust in Him.
Key Question: Why does Easter matter? When you look around at the bunnies and flowers and chocolate eggs, you can understand why it might be hard for kids to grasp the importance of Easter. We start with this question in order to engage kids in a discussion about who Jesus is, what Jesus came to do, and how they can have a relationship with Him. We hope all kids can discover an everyday faith in Jesus and discover all sorts of ways to celebrate that Jesus is alive!
Memory Verse: “If possible, live in peace with everyone. Do that as much as you can." Romans 12:18, NIR
Peace: Proving you care more about each other than winning an argument.
