When you teach others, you really learn more yourself. Today, I had the privilege of teaching the 3, 4, and 5 year olds about the story of Jesus, starting with Palm Sunday and ending on the day he rose from the grave. I used a tool called, "The Resurrection Eggs," and boy were they spectacular. Each plastic colored egg had a different trinket inside that tells the story. The first egg had a donkey which told about how Jesus came to Jerusalem. He was riding on a donkey while the people gathered, waving palm branches at him saying, "Hosanna in the Highest!" which is a Hebrew word for, "save", giving Him all the glory. They put their cloaks along the road as he entered town, knowing that kings typically rode into town on a donkey. I won't go through all the eggs (at least not on this one post), but the last egg was empty because Jesus is no longer dead, HE'S ALIVE! The tomb was empty!
I definitely plan on writing more about Easter, but since today is Palm Sunday, I also brought a palm branch to show the children. I couldn't help but take a few pictures of Marcus with it this morning before (and after) church. Until then, I hope and pray that you're conscious of your plans this weekend and you will be in a Bible-believing church somewhere so you can hear the story for yourself or you can always read it in the Bible, too. Until then, enjoy a few pictures of Marcus enjoying his palm branch. :)
