Story
Say: What special day was last
Sunday? (Easter) That’s right! What makes it so special (give children time
to answer). Those are all good
answers! How do we know that Jesus rose
from the dead? (People saw him after he
died!) Today we are going to read a
story about what Jesus did and said to his disciples after he rose from the
dead.
Read The Road to Emmaus AND The Great Commission from any children's story bible.
Say: Who was the man who the man who was talking to
Jesus friends? (Jesus) When it was time
for Jesus to leave where did he go? (Heaven)
What was the special job that Jesus had for his followers? (Tell
everyone they can be his followers; teach people to do the things Jesus
taught.) Last Sunday was Easter. We celebrate Easter because on the very first
Easter Jesus Rose from the dead. Because
Jesus rose from the dead he can take away our sin so we can live forever with
him in heaven. Because this is true we
need to tell other people about what Jesus did so they will ask Jesus to take
away their sins so they can live forever with him in heaven too! Who are some people you know that you should
tell about Jesus? (give the children time to answer).
Memory Verse
God
loved the world so much that he sent his only son so than anyone who believes
in him will live forever – John 3:16
Big Idea
Jesus
rose from the dead and went to heaven.
He has a special job for us, to tell other people that they can be his
followers and live forever with him in heaven!
Prayer
Take time to see if children have any prayer requests or
prayer joys. Say a short prayer thanking
God for sending Jesus to save us and asking for His help to tell others about
him.
