The Opportunity of Easter

Sometimes it is hard for us to recognize the blessings God has placed before us. Look back at your life and take stock of the time God has come through for you. Many times, he did so by bringing you to the end of yourself. And though this process was painful, it was good. You wouldn’t have it any other way. Every Easter, God presents us with a life-changing opportunity. The chance to surrender our lives to him so that he can have free reign to unleash his love upon us.

Reflection

What holds you back from fully devoting your life to God? How might your life change if it was fully surrendered to him? If we surrender to love, what is there to fear?

Prayer

Father, I will never fully grasp the love you have displayed upon the cross. But I ask you to help me know it more fully this Easter. Thank you that your love has come!

The Good News of Easter

It’s amazing how, given the smallest opportunity, life can unravel. Diseases that have been long forgotten can return. Enemies that have been defeated can rebuild their forces. Attitudes, prejudices, and intolerances we believed to be finished begin taking hold in our culture again. At best, it makes us cynical; at worst, terrified. How can good win in a world where so much goes wrong? What can end the flood of destruction that sin has unleashed? To this, Jesus hung upon a cross and declared “It is finished!”

Reflection

What would you like to see God finish in your life? What sin would you have him conquer? What dream would you have him accomplish? Remember the words of your Savior, “It is finished!”

Prayer

Father, you have promised to finish the good work you have begun in me. Help me to receive this promise and trust in your goodness. Thank you that your love has come!

Today’s story is about Jesus prayer in the garden before his crucifixion. His anxiety was high during these days and He wanted to talk to His Father. What a great reminder of how we need Christ during this time of uncertainty just like Jesus did.

This following resource gives ways to reiterate the lesson taught today. Use these resources to focus your child’s heart and mind on God during these days of uncertainty.

Restore Kidz Lesson

Hello parents!

Now through Easter we will offer what you need to teach lessons to your kids. Follow these steps and enjoy growing closer to Christ as a family during these days!

The NEED TO KNOW this week is God’s Promise Is The Best Ever!

KS_BDEAH_157x157.jpg

Family Activity:

Grab a piece of paper and something to draw with. Tell your family that together you are going to draw a picture of the best day you can imagine! Pass the paper around your family and have each person add something to the picture that would make it the best day ever.


Read this with your family:

There are a lot of fun things we could think of to make the Best Day Ever! While those are all great, there is one way we can be guaranteed to have the Best Day Ever. God has made sure of that by making us a special promise!

Long ago, God promised to make a way for us to be forgiven for all the wrong things we do. This promise came true when Jesus came to Earth, died on a cross, and rose from the dead. At Easter, we celebrate God’s promise to save us from our sins, which is the best promise ever!

Review Questions

What did God promise His people, the Israelites? (That He would save them from the mean Egyptians, that He would send someone/the perfect lamb to save them from their sins forever)

Why was this the best promise ever? (It saved everyone and fixed our friendship with God)

Did God keep His promise? (Yes) Yes! God always keeps His promises!


Memory Verse:

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

The Victory of Easter

The dying words of the famous composer Ludwig Van Beethoven were “Friends applaud, the comedy is over.” There is something haunting about these words. They reveal the insult of death. We know we are not made to die, and yet death comes like a mocking joke. No matter what we do or accomplish, death comes for us all, ignoring our will to go on, and insulting the lives we have lived. But love has come, and God will have the last laugh!

Reflection

What is it you fear most about death? What power do you believe it has over you? Lift your eyes to the cross and behold the Savior who defeated death once and for all!

Prayer

Father, help me to understand that this life is not the end. Remind me that, in Christ, I will live forever. I worship you, Jesus; for the cross and for taking the sting of death upon yourself. Thank you that your love has come!

The Power of Easter

The beloved author of the Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien, created the term “eucatastrophe.” For Tolkien, this word described how the protagonists of a story experience a sudden turn of events that saves them from certain doom. Tolkien believed that the coming of Christ was the eucatastrophe of human history. This is the power of love; it is an unstoppable force that prevails, no matter the odds!

Resurrection: The Power of Easter

Throughout the ages, humankind has discovered amazing ways to harness great power. We constructed the Hoover dam to hold back 10 trillion gallons of water to provide power to the states of Nevada, Arizona, and California. We split the atom and discovered how to release incomprehensible amounts of energy. We created the internet, allowing the world to access information in ways earlier generations could’ve never imagined.And yet, there is a force which all of us are powerless against; sin. No matter what we do or how hard we try, sin always leads to death. Sin is the great catastrophe of human history. It is an unstoppable cancer spreading from one generation to the next.Until Jesus. At the cross, for the first time in all of history, death was reversed, and a resurrection power was put on display for all the world to see! And God has made this very power available to us all.The Apostle Paul described this in Philippians 3:10-11 “I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!”God’s love is a eucatastrophe. It stops the unstoppable, breaks the unbreakable and saves the unsavable! Praise God that his love has come!

Reflection

What do you consider to be impossible in your life? How do those things compare to the resurrection power of God?

Prayer

Father, your Word tells me that with you, all things are possible. Forgive me for thinking otherwise. I invite you to stir up my faith and flood my life with your resurrection power. Thank you that your love has come!
