Summary

Matthew 27, John18 & 19 , & Luke 23 I want to respect each listener's ages and levels of understanding, so I have adapted some of this for the needs of our audience. Please go back and read the scriptures yourselves to include what is appropriate for your family. We begin our story with Jesus speaking with Pilate and end with the crucifixion. The kids will hear: -The meaning of the torn veil (listen to episode #281 to go further) -This was God's plan; there were no mistakes, no surprises. Jesus chose to lay down His life, and by doing so, Jesus took the weight of every sin, past, present, and future. -It's not always as it seems. The cross is not the end of the story. We have hope because of what happened 3 days later! --------------------- To enjoy bonus content for the episodes which also supports us, go here To connect with us go here For our free read-a-loud pdf book get it free here
