More about these coloring pages

The moment Jesus falls under the weight of the cross is profound and moving. My third graders love coloring these pages, which include images of Jesus struggling with the cross, the soldiers, and the crowd. I often hear them discussing how He kept going despite the pain. This lesson connects beautifully with Isaiah 53:7, where it says, 'He was oppressed and afflicted.' Last quarter, I used similar pages, and the kids really connected with the story's emotions. We talked about how Jesus showed great strength and love even in His suffering. These pages will definitely help reinforce that message in our Sunday school class. I keep a few copies in my binder for whenever I need them during the lesson.
