New Testament
The Message of Holy Week
Holy Week is an important week in Christianity and to others who learn from Jesus. This week we will follow Jesus from Palm Sunday through what the Christian religion call The Last Supper (the last Jewish Passover celebration dinner), Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Jesus knew this week would change his life forever. He also knew that it was important to the world that he do what he knew he had to do and say during the Holy Week. The Holy Week message to takeaway is that Jesus showed integrity and was truthful and honest. He knew he was part of the whole Universal Life by keeping true to his heart and what he knew about God. He was afraid at times, like we all are, but he did not let fear stop him. He thought that he might could escape some things, but he chose to go through everything, because he knew it was important for his renewal. He also knew his example would be important to the renewal of many people around the world.

The Butterfly Flaps Its Wings
Jesus taught us that to be able to really renew our lives we must be dedicated to God and understand that God is Love. Jesus showed this in many ways. He did things because in his heart he knew they were the right thing to do. In our online workbook, we have Easter lessons for kids that help explain the choices he made and the things he did and said during Holy Week: the days which are often referred to as Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter. He followed the feelings deep inside that helped him know what help he could give to other people and also what he needed to take good care of himself. He was kind and honest to his friends. He treated everyone like they were important, because they are - we are all made out of the same "God-stuff" and we are all the same inside. Jesus was dedicated to knowing God inside him and to knowing God was inside everyone else, too. Jesus didn’t just tell his friends his connection to God, he demonstrated this connection, so his friends would discover their connection.
