FAMILY PLUS Preschool "It Was Jesus!" - April 4

Dear Parent & Grandparents,

Here is an idea that will help you share this week's story with your preschooler:

 

When you see people walking beside the road, comment: “Those people are walking along the road. Your Bible story is about two men who were walking along the road.” Review the Bible story from Luke 24. Emphasize that the men realized that Jesus was alive.

This Sunday, April 7, 2013, Your preschooler will hear this story -
Two Men saw Jesus Luke 24:13-35

Bible Story Brief -
• Two men were walking to a village near Jerusalem called Emmaus (eh MAY uhs). They were talking and arguing about what had happened to Jesus during the past week.
• As they walked, Jesus joined them, but they did not recognize Him. Jesus asked why they were arguing. Cleopas (KLEE oh puhs) said, “You must be the only one who doesn’t know what has been happening in Jerusalem.” The two men began to tell Jesus what had happened in the last few days.
• “Jesus was performing miracles and telling people about God,” they said. “The government leaders decided He should die. He died on a cross. Three days later some women went to the tomb. It was empty. An angel said that He was alive! Other people went to the tomb and did not see Him.”
• Jesus then began telling the two men all that was written in the Bible about Himself. The men invited Him to stay with them in Emmaus. They still did not recognize Jesus.
• As the three men sat at the table, Jesus took the bread, prayed over it, and tore a piece for each one. Then the men recognized Him. It was Jesus! Suddenly, He was gone.
• The men hurried back to Jerusalem that night to tell the disciples. They had seen Jesus—alive!
