I am excited to start this series of teaching ideas about Jesus Christ's death, resurrection, and ascension. Look for weekly teachings for the next month and a half. This is an addition to the "Jesus Christ Our Savior" series.
Verse: "the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;” Luke 19:37b KJV
Parent Preparation: Pray. Read: John 12:12-19, Luke 19:28-40, Mark 11:1-11, Matthew 21:1-11. For further reference Psalm 118:25-26, 2 Kings 9:13, and Leviticus 23:40, and also "Jesus Christ our Passover" Chapter 2.
Song: Rejoice in the Lord Always (listen to it on the Spotify playlist "He Is Risen" or listen to it on You Tube
Teaching Idea:
- Jesus was entering Jerusalem.
- Jesus’s disciples were people that followed him and learned from him. (have your child do the sign language for “follow”)
- (Read Mark 11:7-10 or read record from a children’s Bible)
- Spreading clothes before him showed great honor and that he was important.
- Palm branches were associated with joy and triumph.
- Read Luke 19:37. The disciples rejoiced and praised God for the mighty works that they had seen.
Additional Teaching Ideas:
- Read Luke 19:37. Write a list or draw pictures of the mighty works that the disciples had seen Jesus do. Or have your child look through a Bible picture book and talk about the pictures that are mighty works.
- Hosanna (hide em in your heart), Read Matthew 21:1-11
- Read about Lazarus being raised from the dead John 11:38-45, and talk about that this is one of the mighty works that the disciples John 12:17-18
- Act it out: have your child pretend to spend clothes, wave palm branches and rejoice.
- Listen to "He Is Risen" playlist on Spotify.
