Gethsemane: Jesus Prepares His Disciples and Prays

A biblical scene depicting a man in prayer with his hands raised towards the sky, surrounded by trees and a serene night sky.

Before Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, He took time to prepare His disciples for what was about to happen. He assured them of His love and that they Holy Spirit would come to comfort and guide them. He told them He would prepare a place for them and come back to take them to be with Him. He also prayed for them and for all future believers – that includes us! In Gethsemane, Jesus prayed for God’s will to be done, and for strength. The object lesson in about doing God’s will. The craft is a special one. We made praying hand cast molds and then I finished them during the week.

Jesus Celebrates the Passover

A graphic featuring a biblical scene of Jesus and his disciples sharing a meal, with text about redemption and instructions for a Passover celebration.

This presentation correlates Luke’s account of the Lord’s Supper with the Passover celebration. The children get to participate in the Passover with the foods. We hear of Jesus’ love and are reminded that He indeed is our Redeemer and Savior. He is the Messiah and invites us to join in His kingdom, so we look forward to the final fulfillment of the Passover when Jesus comes again. It is His blood that is on the door to our hearts. He is the Passover Lamb that died for our sin. He is coming to take us to Heaven, our Promised Land. It is because of Jesus’ sacrifice that we are truly free! He has redeemed us and, as we find in Revelation 22, will eventually recreate and restore our home on earth where we will live eternally, when it is time.

Companion Post: The Lord’s Supper

This lesson includes one or more of the Savior Souvenirs — a communion cup, a ‘cracker’ made of air dry clay, a ‘water basin’ which simply is a plastic lid like from a milk jug, or a towel which simply is a portion of a cut up cheap wash cloth.

The lesson is one of the many stories of Jesus’ last week before his death, resurrection, and the weeks that followed. You can find a list of the other lessons here along with their links.
