More about these coloring pages

Last week, I pulled out the Jesus resurrection coloring page during our Sunday school class, and the kids were thrilled. One of my students, a bright 8-year-old named Sarah, immediately pointed to the picture of the angel, saying, 'Look, he’s telling us Jesus is alive!' The excitement in the room was palpable as they colored in the images of the empty tomb and the joyful women. As we talked about the verse, 'He is not here; he has risen, just as he said' (Matthew 28:6), I could see their understanding deepen. These 6 pages are perfect for reinforcing this important story of hope and new life. I keep a printed copy in my binder for when I need to emphasize the miracle of the resurrection during Easter lessons.
