Fun Easter Traditions That Honor the ResurrectionSample

Focus on what he gave

Also, recognizing the sad feelings that come along with parts of the story is important. Remind yourself and your kids that it is OK to feel sad.

Jesus’s family and friends were sad at first too. Talk through those feelings together. Make sure to let them know that Jesus went through sad and painful things just like we do. But because of what Jesus did we do not have to suffer alone!

Focus on the fact that Jesus is alive, and we are to rejoice in that! The stone was rolled away and the angel of the Lord was there to tell Mary to not be afraid, Jesus is alive.

No matter what approach you take, being consistent with the message is key. He went through all this because of how much he loved us. Jesus wanted to make sure we could be with him forever and give us everlasting hope.

We need to help our children focus on what Jesus gave to us rather than what we can get from the Easter Bunny.
