While my kids were coloring the crucifixion roman soldier spear coloring page, my 10-year-old asked why the soldier was there. It was a perfect opportunity to explain that Jesus' sacrifice was for us. Each image highlights key moments from the crucifixion story, like the soldier standing guard and the moment Jesus said, 'It is finished' (John 19:30).
