Main Focus: Jesus Loves You and Me (Good Friday)
Luke 22-23; John 3:16
ANTICIPATE:  What's In Your Head/Heart?
On Good Friday, Jesus died on the cross for all of mankind.  He chose to do this because He loves each one of us so much.  He loves all of us, even our unique traits and quirks.  He loves us exactly the way we are because each of us is unique and has different things inside our heads and our hearts.
Memory Verse: "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.  (John 17:3)
On that very bad Friday, Jesus endured torture, humiliation and death on the cross to bring very good news so we might be forgiven through Him and be able to live forever with Him.  Good Friday is good because Jesus loves you and me.  
RESPOND: Rainbow Promise Jars
We know in our heads that Jesus loves us and died for our sins.  But sometimes it is hard to remember all the promises that God made to His children (that's us!)  Knowing God loves us in our heads is one thing but we all need a reminder sometimes.
Ephesians 3:17b-18:   “I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

May our children be deeply rooted in the knowledge that Jesus loves them.  May they have the power to understand the width, length, height and depth of Jesus' love for them.
