Easter Sunday school

The Tomb is

Empty!

 

Praise God, what a blessed Easter indeed. The tomb was empty He rose again! 

This week in Sunday school the children and I went over prayers and concerns and moved onto learning the Lord's Prayer. They are really getting it down pat. 

I found this wonderful version of the Easter story by Max Lucado (and who doesn't love Max) the story was wonderful and I think each age group could glean something from it. I absolutely love the rich illustration. 

We spoke about the story afterward and talked about resserection power. The power of Christ through the Holy Spirit whom lives in us when we except Christ as our savior. I had the children go on a egg hunt around the room. They found eggs with popcorn kernels inside. 

 

I proposed the question... 

does it have a heartbeat?

Is it alive?

What else can you tell me you observe from this simple kernel of corn? 

God put the power for this simple kernel of corn to pop into

 

(Then we opened another egg and had the popped corn)

This lovely fluffy white edible treat. 

The power of God inside us is similar.  When we use the power that Gods put inside us, we can do amazing things for his kingdom. 

 

We handed out little treat bags with a reminder that they have the resurrection power inside them. To not forget Gods love , how he gave His Son to die for us so we too could partake in the power of the Holy Spirit. 

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

 

Happy Easter
