More about these coloring pages

While my kids colored, my 9-year-old asked why Jesus had to suffer so much. I explained how He loved us enough to take our sins upon Himself. One of the pages shows the cross, reminding them of His great sacrifice, 'He laid down His life for us' (John 15:13). The six images in this good friday coloring page for kids help illustrate the story. We had crayons and colored pencils scattered across the table. After coloring, we spent time discussing what Jesus' sacrifice means to us as Christians. This page is a wonderful resource for Sunday school or at home during Easter week.
