The grave is empty. Jesus is risen! He is risen indeed! Happy Easter from New Life Kids!

Dear Families,

Easter isn’t merely an ancient story disconnected from our modern reality. The story of Easter reaches into our lives and changes the very core of who we are! In our next series, "Created New", we will journey through the story of redemption—a story that began at creation and the fall, climaxed at the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, and continues through all who walk in new identities as God’s children!

With Easter approaching, how are you feeling? Are you excited to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus? Are you overwhelmed by the length of your to-do list? Or do you feel a mix of both emotions?
I encourage you to slow down and let the truth of these words sink in: “When anyone lives in Christ, the new creation has come. The old is gone! The new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Through Jesus, we are made new. Our former fallbacks—pride, reliance on works, self-promotion, self-justification—are part of the old. They are gone! Through Jesus, we are free to live surrendered to the will of God, in the safety of His perfect love, no longer having to prove ourselves to anyone. Now that’s a reason to celebrate!

Today with our Elementary kids, we asked them to list sins and we taped them to the Cross. These sins mean that we are supposed to die. But… God had a better plan. His Son Jesus took the punishment for our sin and like the red paint on these papers, Jesus covered our sins with His blood so that we are given the free gift of eternal life through Christ.

Happy Easter. The tomb is empty. Jesus is alive! The free gift of salvation is yours to receive through Him!

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭23‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We’ve spent the last two weeks talking about Moses with our kids. God spoke to Moses in the Burning Bush and used him to set His people free from slavery in Egypt. God still Sees and Hears His People today. How have you experienced God hearing you and responding?
