“They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.”
-Luke 24:2-3
Easter is vital to Christians, and we should strive to make the Easter season as important and filled with expectation as Christmas is for families. Let’s face it – Christmas is always triggered by Thanksgiving and the month of December. Easter moves around so much that it is not always as easy to remember the date. We live such busy lives. No wonder we may not remember it’s Easter season until we see it’s time for the Palm Sunday service at church and time to get out the bright pastels, frilly new dresses, and snazzy bow ties worn for this special day.
Your children quickly get a sense that there’s something different about Easter. Commemorating Jesus’ resurrection is understandably the highest cause for celebration. It also prompts some of the most challenging questions among children under the age of 12 who are, for perhaps the first time, hearing the story of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.
Don’t miss the opportunity to be your child’s go-to source for questions about Easter. For example, use a children’s Bible, a book about Easter or Resurrection Eggs to tell the Easter story to young children. It will help you talk through the details of the resurrection using language that makes sense to your child and provide building blocks to their young faith.
Happy Easter!!!
