Alright, so this week we talked about a whole set of prophecies. I gave each of the kids a notecard. The notecard had one of three questions:
- How do these verses show Jesus' purpose?
- What do these verses tell us about Jesus' death?
- What do these verses tell us about what happened after Jesus' death?
There were about 4-5 sets of verses in each category. Each one had an Old Testament Verse on the back and a New Testament verse below it. Each of the verses showed part of what we've been studying about Jesus being the Messiah. Here's a good list:
- He came as a ransom for our sins.
- He died on a tree.
- There were nails in his hands and feet.
- No bones were broken on his body.
- They cast lots for His clothes
- He divided the spoil (criminals) with the strong (himself)
- He didn't speak
- Prayed for his accusers
- Marked among transgressors
- Rejected by everyone
- Spat on and struck
The kids got in groups according to their questions, then answered the question with their particular cards in front of everyone. We went over the crucifixion, the beatings of Jesus, and everything Jesus went through for us. We added about 12 pieces to the puzzle, which is awesome. The kids are starting to guess what the picture is. We even had one kid say she didn't need to know anymore, she was convinced. AWESOME.
