Isaiah 1:18 says “though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” Jesus will forgive you, all you need to do is ask. Hebrews 9:22 says that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. The red egg represents the blood of Jesus, from when he died on the cross for us.The bible says in Romans 3:23 that ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Encourage them to share/retell the story to their friends and family.Give each kid their own set of eggs to take home.Teach the lesson (it is fun if you can find a set of over-sized eggs to teach with).
Print a copy of My Salvation Eggs (download below) to include in each bag.Take one of each color egg and put in a quart size zip lock bag.(pink eggs sprayed red and purple eggs sprayed black) I found some solid white fake eggs to included as well, but if you can’t find them, you could spray paint white as well. I took a set of regular plastic Easter eggs and spray painted some of the colors I could not find.
(can use poster board egg cutouts if you can’t find jumbo eggs, or you want a larger visual) Use a set of Jumbo Eggs to make the presentation from the stage. (not familiar with the wordless book? Check it out here or here). The idea of the Salvation Eggs is a spin on the popular Wordless Book. (see our Resurrection Eggs lesson/directions here!) So I adapted a popular resource and gave it an Easter spin, and did it in a way that allowed the kids to go home with their own personal gospel object lesson. Since we had used the eggs before, I needed to come up with another idea that would not only help convey the importance of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, but would do so in a way that kids could easily share with others. One of the biggest reasons I love the resurrection eggs as an Easter Lesson idea is that the kids are sent home with a tool they can use to tell others what they learned. They way I see it, we have an opportunity to turn our kids into missionaries, as well as give them the tools needed to help them share the gospel.With Easter approaching, it is that time of year when we all start looking for our Easter lesson ideas. And if they have a cool, fun takeaway from your lesson, they will be excited to share what they learned. When the kids leave church Easter Sunday morning, many of them head to family gatherings. That is why I try to find some form of lesson that I can teach that can be easily repeated. People will come to church on Easter (and Christmas) that normally don’t come. Easter is one of those holidays that is spent with family.
