April 10: Read or watch the story The Sun Stops Shining| Jesus Storybook Bible | page302
The moment had come... Jesus had been warning his disciples that he was going to die. This was part of the great rescue plan that God had been telling his people since everything went wrong in the garden of Eden.  Jesus could have called down the armies of heaven to save him, but he knew his death was the way to save the whole world.

Talk about these questions:
  • What did Jesus pray for those who were hurting him?
  • What happened to the sun and the earth when Jesus shouted "It is finished!"?
  • What do we learn about Jesus from this story?

Thank you God, for your amazing rescue plan. Thank you, Jesus, that you loved me so much and that took all the brokenness and sadness on yourself. You could have saved yourself, but you gave yourself away instead. Help me to love you more each day. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
