About this Bible story

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed with His friends before His crucifixion. He asked God, 'Not my will, but yours be done.' (Luke 22:42). This shows how much He trusted God.

β€œNot my will, but yours be done.”

β€” Luke 22:42 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While coloring, ask the kids how they think Jesus felt in the garden. You might say, 'Why do you think Jesus prayed?' This connects to the moment when He said, 'Not my will, but yours be done.' (Luke 22:42). For supplies, have crayons ready and consider doing a follow-up activity where they draw their own garden.

More about these Bible coloring pages

The kids were excited last Tuesday while we colored our Garden of Gethsemane pages. They loved bringing to life the moment when Jesus prayed, showing how He felt with His friends nearby. As they colored, I reminded them of Jesus' words, 'Not my will, but yours be done.' (Luke 22:42). Each of the 6 images helps tell the story of this important moment with bright colors and simple designs. It's wonderful to see how they connect with the Bible story while having fun. This garden of gethsemane coloring page for preschool is a great addition to our lessons. I used it during our morning story corner, and it sparked some thoughtful questions about prayer and trusting God.

Whether you use crayons or markers, each child can express their creativity while learning more about Jesus.
