What is this unit about?
The darkest day the world has ever seen became the brightest day one glorious Sunday morning. After Jesus was unjustly convicted of a crime, He was crucified and His body was placed in a tomb. But on the third day, Jesus rose from the dead, defeating sin and death and rising again as the conquering King.
Why is this important for our kids?
Kids (and adults) can feel disillusioned when they are aware of repeated sins. “I just can’t help it”, some kids will say. That Jesus conquered death and sin in His resurrection reassures us that we too will have final victory over sin. More than that, we can with the Spirit’s help have victory over sin now, and we always have forgiveness of sin when we fail. This is the grace we want kids to learn, but not take for granted as a justification for delighting in sin.
Big Picture Question
How is Jesus the perfect King?
Jesus perfectly rules over the universe as the King of kings.
Key Passage/Memory Verse
All creatures in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea were speaking.
The whole creation was speaking. I heard all of them say,
“Praise and honor belong
to the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb!
Glory and power belong to God for ever and ever!”
Revelation 5:13 NIrV
