Today we can celebrate Easter because Jesus died on the Cross to take away our sins, and then rose again, so that we can have eternal life with him some day in Heaven. Today in kids church, we had a Bible lesson, and we included different colors of jelly beans. Black represents our sins, Red is the blood that Jesus shed on the cross for those sins, White is that we are white as snow (pure), Green is for our growth in Christ, Blue is for Baptism and Yellow is for Heaven. It is just a good reminder to us all that as we grow, we experience different colored "jelly beans" in our life! I hope and pray that we are all in the green/blue stage. I just think, that as the grass grows, so should our Faith in Christ Jesus who died on the cross to take away our sins!
