Devotional #5
Soldiers Hurt Jesus
Read: Mark 15:16-20
*For younger children only use the questions in red in the Ask section, and then complete the Apply, Activity, and Pray.
Ask:
P What did the soldiers put on Jesus? (vs. 17)
P What were they yelling at Jesus? (Vs. 18) (The soldiers were not saying it in a kind way. They were being very mean to Jesus.)
P How do you think you would of felt if you were Jesus?
P What did they do after they were done with Jesus? (Vs. 20)
P Jesus was able to make the blind see and sick people well. So why do you think Jesus let his happen?
P Read John 14:6. Jesus let this happen because he knew he had to die to make a way for Christians to live in heaven with Him.
Apply: Optional
- Take play-dough and create a circle. It should look like a large ring or bracelet.
- Then break toothpicks into smaller pieces and stick them into the play dough. (It should look like a crown of thorns.)
- Have each person touch the crown of thorns and feel how it would hurt if it was put on your head and then pressed down.
- Remind everyone that Jesus loved us so much that he let the soldier place a crown of thorns on his head.
Activity:
- Place the pieces inside of this envelope on the wreath circle like the picture shows.
Pray:
- Thanking God for giving his son to us. Ask God to help you see that everyone was created differently but that we were all created for a purpose.
