4. INTIMATE WORSHIP: (5 minutes)

Remember Jesus had made a special trip through Samaria so that the woman at the well would have the opportunity to find the source of life. He waited to find her at the well. All she had to do was drink of the Living Water.

Jesus is the answer to our life. The woman at the well found what she needed and so can we. We will be satisfied to drink the living water. All we need to do is follow Him. Jesus will transform our lives forever.

FUN ACTIVITY: LONG JUMP TO HEAVEN Have one child dressed up like Jesus ( white wrap and blue sash across his chest ) standing at the far end of the room, draw a line on the floor far enough away from him that there is NO way the children can jump and reach him. Have the children take turns trying to long jump to Jesus. They all fail because:

We have all sinned and we cannot save ourselves.

c. Teach the Lesson This session we are going to learn that Jesus died on the cross. DOWNLOAD Adoração video

Does anyone know why Jesus died on the cross? (Because we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God)

Who knows what sin is? (Sin is anything we do, or say, or think or don't do that displeases God.)

Who knows the name of the first man and woman that sinned? ( Adam and Eve that's right .)

If you have sinned raise your hand - come on all of us have sinned.

Now because GOD is perfect we can't be HIS friend if we have sins on us.

This is a really BIG problem for us but remember that GOD had a solution He solved that problem by sending His son Jesus who is perfect and if Jesus died for our sins then we can ask Him to forgive us for our sins and He will.

BIBLE STORY/DRAMA:

When Jesus lived here on earth and grew up he had 12 close friends he called his disciples. (Allocate 12 children to be disciples ) He was having dinner with them (All sitting down pretending to be eating ) and He said " one of you is going to betray me to the enemies". All his disciples looked at each other wondering who it would be. Many saying " never not me ." Jesus said ALL of you will run away because you will be afraid when they come to take me away.

Jesus said "yes, even you will, in fact you will say you don't even know me 3 times before the rooster crows in the morning." What sound does a rooster make? Let's hear all of you make that crowing sound. (Print Peter's colouring page visual aid) DOWNLOAD Colouring page

Jesus knew all that was going to happen to Him and He was going to let it happen because Jesus loves us and so our sins can be forgiven.

Now Jesus looked at Judas one of His disciples and said go do it quickly. Judas had gone to the high priests and asked them how much they would pay him to lead them to Jesus. He knew they wanted to kill him because they were jealous of Him. The men told Judas they'd give him 30 pieces of silver, so he went to collect his money and lead them to Jesus. (Allocate Judas who leaves the room angry to do the betrayal)

Now after dinner Jesus and some of His disciples went to a park to pray. Jesus asked God is there any other way for people to have their sins forgiven then for me to die? He knew the pain He was going to have to suffer. But Jesus was willing to do it. WHY? (Because Jesus loves us and so our sins can be forgiven.)

Judas knew where they were going so he led the soldiers to the place. (Judas and a solders with sticks enter ) The soldiers came with torches and swords hundreds of them. Judas had told the soldiers the one I kiss is Jesus, just so they'd make no mistake in who Jesus was in the dark. So he kissed Jesus and the soldiers grabbed him tied Him up (Judas and soldiers act out the scene )

Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the teachers of the law and the elders had assembled. (Print Jesus taken to High Priest visual aid ). DOWNLOAD Colouring page

Who took him to Pilate the governor, who was in charge like a king, he made big decisions. (Print Pilate's visual aid ). DOWNLOAD Colouring page

Pilate asked Jesus is it true you claim to be king of the Jews? Jesus answered " yes this is true ." This made the people go wild they were so upset by Jesus answer. They yelled crucify him. (That means kill him).

Pilate said to the people "I can't find anything bad that Jesus has done. What do you want me to do with Him?" The crowd started yelling louder and louder. " Crucifies him, crucify him ."

Pilate sent him over to Herod, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time.  (Print Herod visual aid ) When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard about him, and he was hoping to see some sign done by him. DOWNLOAD Colouring page

But he could find nothing wrong and sent Him back to Pilate who washed his hands of the entire situation (Print Pilate washing his hands visual aid ) but not wanting the people to turn against him had Jesus whipped. DOWNLOAD Colouring page

Does anyone know what a whip is? Yes and this whip was even worse it had broken glass and sharp metal in it so Jesus back was all bloody. (Print Jesus prepared to be whipped visual aid ) DOWNLOAD Colouring page

(Jesus is tied and led out and two soldiers pretend to whip him) Do you know why Jesus let them do this to Him? (Because Jesus loves us and so our sins can be forgiven.) That's right! (Print Jesus wipped visual aid ). DOWNLOAD Colouring page

They made fun of him pushing Jesus around and saying ' Hail king of the Jews' . (Print Jesus and soldiers visual aid ). And why did Jesus let them do this to Him? (Because Jesus loves us and so our sins can be forgiven.) DOWNLOAD Colouring page

Imagine Jesus even met his poor sad mother along the way. Imagine how she felt. (Print Jesus meets Mary visual aid ). DOWNLOAD Colouring page

It was a heavy hard journey He took for us. (Print Jesus falls with cross visual aid ). And He needed help to carry it. DOWNLOAD Colouring page

The soldiers hammered big nails in Jesus hands and feet and picked the cross up putting it between two bad, really bad men. (Print Jesus on cross visual aid ) Stick all the posters on the wall to tell the story. DOWNLOAD Colouring page

Why did Jesus let them do this to Him? (Because Jesus loves us and so our sins can be forgiven.) Poor Jesus, they left Him up there until they thought He was dead and then stabbed Him in the side just to make sure. This is a very sad story isn't it? The sky turned pitch black in the middle of the day and a big earthquake happened that shook everyone. They took Jesus off the cross and put Him in a grave, it was like a cave. One more time. Why did Jesus let them do this to Him? (Because Jesus loves us and so our sins can be forgiven.) They rolled a huge heavy rock in front of the grave a put soldier outside of it because they had heard rumors that Jesus would come back to life. And that's a hint about what our next session is going to be about.
