More about these Bible coloring pages

When I pulled out the garden of Gethsemane coloring page, I could see my students' eyes light up. The images show Jesus in prayer, the peaceful garden, and the disciples dozing off. 'Not my will, but yours be done' (Luke 22:42) is such a powerful reminder of His sacrifice. Last Sunday, we discussed how Jesus felt in that moment, and this page helped them visualize it. They loved using colored pencils to bring the garden to life. This printable is a wonderful way to reinforce the lesson from our last quarter's study. In a few weeks, I'll display their artwork on our bulletin board to celebrate their hard work.
