Holy Week

    This week was Holy Week. The week that we prepare for the Resurrection of our Lord. So in honor of Holy Week, we learned about the most important thing: Jesus and His ultimate sacrifice and His Resurrection.
    In learning about these things, we spent some time in Matthew, Mark, and John. The kids learned about Matthew 28 and the cross. They learned about the cross and why the cross was important. We learned about John 3:16 and we made that verse about us.
    I asked the kids how much Jesus loves us. They didn't know, so I had them open their arms and I told them that this was how Jesus died. He opened up His arms and died for our sins. We also did Resurrection Eggs, we painted Easter Eggs. We also made a cross for Jesus to die on, we buried Him in a tomb, and then we opened up our tomb and watched how Jesus was no longer in the tomb. We also had an Easter egg hunt at home, in which the kids found words that dealt with the Easter story. 

   This week was not originally planned. God placed this lesson plan on my heart. I am so glad that He did. I think I really impressed upon the kids the love of Jesus. I really love the fruits of being obedient to God. He gives me the wildest ambitions, and then brings them into fruition.

So that's it for this week. We worked hard, we learned hard, we worshiped hard. I truly do thank God for His mercy and His foresight over the course of this week. To God be the Glory. 

Now, next week we will pick back up with our regularly scheduled week. Week 24 for those of us who are keeping up and for those who aren't, just another week at The Vine Academy.
