7.       Bible Story:  Review story of Jesus Dies and Arises (Matthew 27-28)

Option #1:  If you have a children’s Bible or story book about Easter.  Read it.  Then have a prayer.

Option #2:  If you have more time, from small paper plates prepare puppets of a scared boy, a sad girl, a surprised girl, and a happy boy and girl.  You will use these props to help tell the story.  OR  Have your child show you what his/her face looks like when he/she is scared ,sad, surprised, and happy.

If you are using Option #1, simply read your story.

If you are using Option #2, here is the story review.

Show the scared/sad puppet faces or have your child show you his/her scared/sad face.

Say, “Our Bible story this week talks about scared/sad people.  What made them scared/sad?  (Jesus’ friends were afraid of the soldiers; Jesus had died; they thought they would never see Jesus again.)  We’re sad too when we know we have sinned—when we have done bad things.”

Show the surprised girl or have your child show you his/her surprised face.

Ask, “What do you think surprised the girl?  Was it a happy or scary surprise?  What makes you surprised?”  Allow discussion time.  What happened in our Bible story to surprise some people?”  (Jesus was not in the tomb.)

Show the happy face puppets or have your child show his/her you his/her happy face.

Say, “These children are happy.  They know that Jesus loved them so much that He died for them.  And now Jesus is alive.  They know that Jesus forgives their sins.  We are happy because we know Jesus loves us and forgives us too.”

Read Matthew 28:5-6.  “The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.  He is not here; He ha risen, just as He said.  Come and see the place where He lay.’”

Prayer:  Dear Jesus, I am happy you are alive and that you love me all the time.  Amen.
