More about these coloring pages

While my kids were coloring last Friday afternoon, my 9-year-old asked why Jesus had to carry the cross. This coloring page, with its six detailed images of the Crucifixion story, really sparked a discussion about sacrifice and love. One image shows Jesus falling, while another depicts Him being helped by Simon. As we colored, we talked about the words 'It is finished' (John 19:30), reflecting on what they mean. I love how these pages allow kids to engage with an important Bible story creatively. It’s a beautiful way to remember Easter and the message of hope that comes from Jesus' sacrifice. We plan to share our finished pages with family at our Easter gathering!
