Now to our episode.

Hello again and welcome back to Kids Bible Stories.

Today's episode is made possible for the generosity from the following families.

A great big thank you to Casey Clemson who has loved this podcast.

They have been listening every day.

And a great big thank you to Julia and her children.

Bren who is five years old and Blair who is going to be seven soon. Happy early birthday Blair.

Thank you all so much for your support.

Today's story is called Jesus Chose To For You.

And this comes from Matthew chapter 26 verses 36 through 56.

Today we are beginning our very special episodes preparing us for Easter.

I want to respect each listener's ages and levels of understanding.

So I have adapted some of these traditional Bible stories for the needs of our audience.

Please go back and read the scriptures yourselves to include what is appropriate for your family.

I will also encourage you to listen to all of the episodes in this Easter series in order as the stories will build upon themselves.
