Jeremiah and Jesus
Yesterday at church the kids each received an egg whose contents told the story of Jesus' death and resurrection. Jeremiah was so excited that he came running into the office where I was counting the offering afterwards and said, "Mom, I got an egg and it has surprises inside. Wanna see?" He opened the egg and I explained to him what each of the items inside stood for. There was a penny to represent the thirty pieces of silver Judas accepted to betray Jesus. There was a piece of leather to represent the whip Jesus was beaten with. There was a thorn for His crown of thorns, a little wooden cross, a nail, a rock to represent what was rolled in front of the tomb, and a piece of cloth to show the kids what Jesus was wrapped in when he was buried.
Jerry, being very visual, hung on every word! He has since opened the egg and retold the story in his own words at least six times! If you click on link above the picture, you can see video of Jerry's version of the Jesus story.
Anyway, Jerry learning about what Jesus did on the cross for him is obviously a huge part of what I have prayed for God to teach him through me...and anything or anyone else He can use. Thanks to a .25 plastic Easter egg and a few objects he can touch and see and relate to, He is well on His way! Praise God and thank you Terrace Palms Children's Ministry.
