Message 1: Friend Getting Ready Familiarize yourself with today s devotion. Bookmark John 15:13 14; you will read it to your group later in the devotion. Attach the red circle piece of your Jesus Lives! Let s Celebrate activity magnet to a metal cookie sheet or pizza pan. Place the metal pan and your Bible inside a bag. Think about how to distribute the Jesus Lives! Let s Celebrate magnet pieces to each child in the group. If your group is large, you may want to ask a volunteer or two for help. Introduction (Warmly greet the children and invite them to sit down in front of you. Nearby, place the bag of items you prepared ahead of time. Invite listeners to tell what they know about a countdown. After several children have spoken, summarize:) example. Soon, we will celebrate something much more exciting and wonderful than even a rocket launch. We will celebrate Jesus resurrection! Because Jesus died and rose from the dead, all our sins are forgiven. Because of what Jesus did for us, God will be our friend forever. Today, we will begin the countdown to our Resurrection Day celebration. We will begin counting down at the number six. Each (Invite everyone to join you as you count down together. You may want to practice a few times: 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Jesus lives! Let s celebrate!) Getting to the Heart Since we began with the number six in our countdown today, I would like us to think about six friends or groups of friends Jesus loved when he was here on earth. First, the disciples. The disciples were ordinary people, people a lot like us. Jesus disciple friends sometimes disappointed him. They sometimes disobeyed God. They sinned. But Jesus kept on forgiving and loving them. Jesus kept on teaching them. And the disciples kept on sharing God s love and forgiveness with others. Second, Jesus was a friend of children. You might remember that when children came to see Jesus, his disciples tried to chase the children away! But Jesus said, No! Let the children come! Jesus was never too busy for even his littlest friends the children. Third, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus were also friends of Jesus. Mary and Martha were sisters; Lazarus was their brother. They were them to love one another, too. Continued...
Message 1: Friend (Continued) Fourth, you might be surprised to know about a sinful woman who became Jesus friend. The Bible doesn t even tell us her name, but we know that Jesus met her at a well one day as she came to get water. Jesus knew this woman had sinned over and over and over again! Jesus told the woman that what she had done was wrong. But he also he assured her that he loved her, and that he forgave her. She got so excited about God s love and forgiveness that she told her whole town about Jesus! Fifth, Jesus loved all the people who came to hear him teach about God. Many, many, many people came. One time, Jesus had to stand in a boat and push out into the lake just so that all those people could see him and hear him teach God s Word. Let s see, Jesus friends included the disciples; the children; Mary, Martha, and Lazarus; the woman at the well; the crowds of people and one more! That s YOU! (Point to children and call them by name, if possible. Then show them today s red puzzle piece with the hearts.) Jesus loves us, too! Jesus is our friend, too! Listen to what the Bible says. (Read John 15:13 14 from your Bible or below.) Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you (John 15:13 14). Jesus calls us friends. He even gave up his life for us! Jesus didn t suffer and die for his own sins. Jesus had no sins; he never sinned at all! Jesus died for our sins, for all the disobedient, unloving things we do! What a Friend! now and every day to teach us, to listen to us when we pray, to protect us, to take care of us, to help us get along with others, to forgive us when we sin, and to help us love other people. Jesus does all of this because he loves us so much! Taking It Home (Teach the children the following song. Sing the words to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell. ) Jesus is my Friend! Yes, Jesus is my Friend! Do you know he loves me so? His love has no end! Let s pray together to thank Jesus, our Friend, for his love: Dear Jesus, we are so glad you call us friends. Help us live as your happy, forgiven children today and always. Amen. (Distribute the Jesus Lives! Let s Celebrate magnet pieces to the children.

Jesus, God s Son, had miraculous power. Lightning bolts can hurt people, but Jesus used his power to help people in many, Jesus miracles. (Invite the children to participate by raising their arms to show their bicep muscles every time you say: Jesus is powerful! Practice together so everyone knows what to do. Encourage the children to listen carefully so they know when to demonstrate. As you did last Miracle 1: Jesus is powerful! (Wait while the children demonstrate.) Miracle 2: Another time at the lake, a terrible storm blew in. Jesus and his friends were caught in the middle of the lake in a boat during the storm. Waves swept over the boat. The wind roared and pushed the boat back and forth. Any minute, the boat would tip over and everyone would drown. It was terrifying! Then Jesus stood up and commanded, Peace! Be still! Just like that, the storm stopped completely. It was a miracle! Jesus is powerful! (Wait while the children demonstrate.) Continued...

What does the word forgiveness mean? Yes, Jesus took the sins of the world to his cross. Jesus paid the price for sin. Jesus washed away our sins. He died for all the wrong things we do. He was punished instead of us. Our sins are gone forgiven forever! (Show the No Sin symbol on today s puzzle piece and put together the three pieces you ve talked about so far.) Jesus forgives our sins and he helps us live more loving, obedient lives, too. The Bible tells of many, many people that Jesus forgave. Let s think about four forgiven people from the Bible.

Message 3: Forgiven (Continued) Three: As Jesus hung on the cross, dying for us, Jesus forgave a man who had done some very, very bad things. The Bible doesn t tell us the man s name, but we know he was a very bad criminal. This man was hanging on a cross beside Jesus. The man was suffering and dying for his crimes. Jesus comforted and forgave this criminal. That very day, Jesus said, the criminal would be with Jesus in paradise! How do you think the forgiven man felt when he heard this? Very, very happy!

Let s Celebrate magnet pieces on hand and plan to distribute them to children who didn t receive one to take home last me. Introduction Invite everyone to join in as you count down together: 3, 2, 1 Jesus lives! Let s celebrate!) It is now very, very soon Three powerful men were Jesus judges. One of these men was named Caiaphas. He was the High Priest and Jesus first judge. Caiaphas hated Jesus. He was jealous because so many people came to hear Jesus teach about God s love and forgiveness. The second judge was named Herod. He was the ruler in a place called Galilee. He didn t believe in Jesus either, but he had heard rumors about Jesus miracles. He wanted to see Jesus do a miracle kind of like a magic show. When Jesus wouldn t do that, Herod sent Jesus away. Jesus third judge was Pilate, the Roman ruler of the area. He knew Jesus had done nothing wrong, but he was afraid the people would riot. He sentenced Jesus to die on a cross. Jesus had done only good, kind things for people, but his enemies were determined to destroy him. They hired false witnesses to soldiers, they beat him and put a crown of thorns on his head. Then they made him carry his cross to the hill outside the city where he was to die. Three crosses stood on the hill where Jesus died. (Call a en on to the three crosses on the green puzzle piece.) On a hill called Calvary, the Roman soldiers nailed Jesus to a cross. Two criminals were crucified that day with Jesus. These two men had commi ed many crimes, but Jesus never thought, said, or did anything wrong. He did not deserve to die. He could have told God s angel army to destroy all his enemies. He could have come down from the cross any me he wanted to. But he didn t. He stayed on the cross, because he loved us. He was dying in our place. minals. The third cross Jesus cross belonged to me.

Message 4: You (Continued) But here is what the Bible says. (Read 2 Corinthians 5:15 from your Bible or below.) He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised (2 Corinthians 5:15). Jesus loved you and me so very much that he took the punishment we deserved. Jesus died on our cross so that we wouldn t have to be punished for our sins. Jesus died in our place. But he didn t stay dead. Jesus conquered death! In just three short days, Jesus came alive again! Now Jesus lives forever. Jesus loves us forever. Jesus forgives us, and he gives us new life now and forever. Taking It Home (Teach the following echo song using the tune Frère Jacques.

(Warmly greet the children and invite everyone to sit down around you. Nearby, place the bag of items you prepared ahead of everyone to join in as you count down together: 2, 1 Jesus lives! Let s celebrate!) we see in the story of Jesus dying and rising again for us. On the day Jesus died, most of his disciples, his followers, and his friends ran away to hide. They were afraid very afraid. Maybe Jesus enemies would capture and kill them, too! So as Jesus hung on the cross, he was almost alone. of Jesus cross while he died: Mary and John. about our heavenly Father. She helped him learn Bible verses by heart. She told Jesus stories from the Bible some of the stories you have learned! Adam and Eve. Noah and the Great Flood. David and Goliath. All those stories and many more. When Jesus grew up, Mary no doubt listened to Jesus teach. She heard about all the many miracles he was doing, and she probably witnessed some of them, too. How proud and happy she must have felt. But now Mary stood on the hill called Calvary, watching her son Jesus die on a cross. It must have broken her heart! Mary wasn t there by herself. Jesus disciple John stood near Mary beneath Jesus cross. John was one of our Savior s closest friends. Like Mary, John had seen Jesus heal, forgive, and teach. John had seen crippled people healed. He had seen hungry people fed. He had seen guilty people forgiven. Now, John watched as his Lord and Teacher suffered and died on the cross. John, too, must have felt as if his heart was breaking. Jesus saw how sad Mary and John felt. Jesus wanted to comfort them. He wanted them to help and befriend each other. So Jesus told Mary, John will be your son. To John, Jesus said, Here is your mother. Jesus was asking John to take care of Mary and love her just as if she were his own mother. Jesus was asking Mary to encourage John just as if he were her own son. The Bible tells us that John and Mary did what Jesus asked. John took Mary into his home and they cared for each other.

Message 5: Care (Continued) Jesus knew how confused and frightened his friends felt. He knew both Mary and John were worried and so, so sad. So Jesus comforted them.

This is like Jesus hand. While he lived here on earth, Jesus used his hands to touch and heal. He used his hands to give food to hungry people. He used his hands to bless. Then he stretched out his hands on the cross and died. The nails didn t hold him to his cross. His love for us held him there. Knowing Jesus did that for us, we also know we can trust him to help with all our other troubles, too. Taking It Home Dear Jesus, thank you for loving us. Thank you for taking care of us. Help us trust you always. Amen. (Distribute the Jesus Lives! Let s Celebrate ac vity magnet pieces to any children who didn t get one last me as you hand out blue pieces to everyone.

Meanwhile, Jesus enemies insisted that Governor Pilate secure the tomb, so Pilate sent one group of soldiers to guard Jesus tomb. They stood there, guarding Jesus tomb for three days. one great earthquake shook the ground. The soldiers fell over, then ran away in fear. They had seen an angel come down from heaven! That one angel had rolled the one huge stone away from the door of Jesus tomb. But there were zero dead bodies inside! Jesus body was no longer there. Jesus was no longer in his tomb. Jesus was no longer dead! Our one and only Savior Jesus was alive! Jesus had defeated our greatest enemy death! Jesus is the one, true king. Jesus rules! He is our forgiving, loving Savior! one greatest day of all the day of the one greatest victory of all. Jesus, our Savior, lives! Jesus victory over death is also our victory!
