Our classroom has changed. It is empty, bare, and sad just like churches will be tomorrow.
We spent some time talking today about our Lord and the Lenten Season.
We shared about how Jesus' life ended.
We went into the church to see for ourselves what would be changing for Good Friday (the day Jesus died). It is a Good Friday for us because the battle for our salvation was being fought for us. However it is a sad church service, a somber chruch service, and it makes the people attending reflect in their hearts. Those people leave the church in a quiet respectful way. It is like we have just left the tomb of our Lord and like the women at the tomb it is powerful to see for ourselves that Jesus died.
When we went back to our classroom we finished the last few ideas of making our room like the tomb of Jesus. We thought about how Jesus took care of every last detail before he died. He even found a disciple to care for his mother. He promised eternal life to the thief next to him. He forgave us all.
It is my prayer that you experience the entire Lenten Season with your student. Please take them to a Good Friday service, help them think through and reread those last moments of our Lord's life, and pray together! Then the love that comes to us in Easter is even that much more powerful and fulfilling to our Spirits. God's Blessings on your families as you continue to learn about the Lord together!
