Easter: Jesus is who He said he is

April's K6 Experience Studios

This month our kids in K6 Studios will be asked to personally wrestle with and respond to some huge questions that Jesus asked his disciples. Jesus states "I am the resurrection and the life" in John 11.26 and he identifies himself as the "Son of Man" in Luke 19.31. Both statements are very bold and revolutionary claims.


Through Luke’s account of the Easter story (found in Luke 23.26-24.12) the kids will explore and identify evidence that supports Jesus’ bold claims. They will look at Jesus’ prayer to the Father for forgiveness (23.34);
the robber’s request (23.39-43);
the captain’s response (23.47);
the empty tomb and missing body (24.1-3);
the two men at the tomb (24.6); and
their statement, "He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you" (24.6).

After gathering the evidence the kids will examine and evaluate it and then be given the opportunity to express if they personally believe that Jesus is who He says He is.

Pray for our kids as they encounter Jesus, a revoluntionary who changes lives. Pray for our teachers and shepherds who are also encountering the same Jesus and helping guide our kids towards Him. Pray that they will trust God’s Spirit to work in and through them and the kids.
May your hearts be fillfed with hope and joy this Resurrection season.
