Main Focus: Jesus Is Deliverer

(Last Supper--Matthew 26:14-35)

Anticipate: Freeze Tag

What does it mean to be spiritually imprisoned, in bondage or enslaved? It means we aren’t free to become the people God created us to be because we are trapped by our sinful nature, thoughts and actions.
Its like being frozen in a state of sin from which we cannot free ourselves!

Memory Verse:

"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.  The life I now life in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." --Galatians 2:20

On the night when Jesus was betrayed, He took the bread and wine, gave thanks and said "this is My body, broken for you...this cup is the new covenant in My blood, do this in remembrance of Me. For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes."  Jesus' death and resurrection are real.  It is important for us to remember that the Lord's supper points to His sacrifice on the cross through which He delivered us from sin and death and gave us eternal life.  We have been set free.

RESPOND: Sharing the Good News with Wordless Book Crafts
If we want to be ready to help others be saved we need to know how to explain it to them. Remember the “Wordless Book” we made last week to help explain the gospel? Let’s review what the colors mean.

Since Easter is next week, one way we can celebrate is by sharing the
gospel with our friends and family who don’t know God. Giving an Easter gift can be a nice way to tell others we love them and remind them that we all need Jesus to save us, all the time.

Bless:
May our children rejoice and live in the freedom that our Deliverer, Jesus, has won for us.  May our children share with others so they, too, will know the Deliverer and be set free.
