Judas betrayed Jesus
The Biblical story of Judas betraying Jesus is found in all four gospels. This powerful story is renowned as one of the most important facts about infidelity in Christian theology. There are several explanations for why Judas betrayed Jesus, including bribery and demon possession, which vary in the gospel accounts.
The Gospels imply that Jesus foresaw and gave permission for Judas to betray him. One interpretation is that Jesus allowed the betrayal because it allowed God’s plan to be achieved, and the other is that, no matter how betrayed, in the end Jesus would still perish. Crucifixion was alleged to have occurred as part of God’s plan.
During the Last Supper, Jesus prophesied that “one of you will betray me”, in reference to Judas. Judas leaves dinner and goes to see the Roman authorities who are trying to arrest Jesus. He bribes 30 silver coins and agrees to bring them to Jesus. Judas knew that Jesus and his disciples would go to a garden near Jerusalem, and would lead the soldiers there and say, ‘Whoever I kiss, that is he; Take that person and take him to the guard.
“Taking the group into the garden, Judas sees Jesus and the disciples and comes closer.” Hello, Rabbi! “Judas said and kissed Jesus lightly.” Man, for what purpose did Jesus answer? (Matthew 26:49, 50) In response to his own question, Jesus said: “Judas, have you betrayed the Son of man with a kiss?
As the soldiers get closer to Jesus, the apostles realize what is happening. “Oh my God, should we attack with the sword?” He asked. (Luke 22:49) Before Jesus could respond, Peter used one of the two swords the apostles had and attacked Malchus, the high priest’s servant. products, cut off your right ear.
Jesus caressed Malchus’ ear, healing his wound. Then, he taught an important lesson, telling Peter: “Return the sword to its original position, for those who hold the sword will die by the sword.” Jesus was prepared to be arrested, as he explained: “How does the fulfillment of the Bible show that it must be this way?”

The last dinner
The story of the Last Supper tells of a wonderful invitation from Jesus to receive his gift! This is a summary of the Last Supper Bible story as described below in the books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Read more in-depth Bible verses from the Bible below and use the articles and videos to understand the meaning behind this teachable event in the Bible.
The Last Supper occurs on the first day of Passover, also known as the Festival of Unleavened Cakes. Jesus sent his disciples ahead into the city to prepare for the Passover meal. Passover was a celebration of the Israelites’ freedom from slavery in Egypt, and especially when the angel of death passed by the Israelites’ home. , There is bleeding on the door.
When the disciples sat down and ate dinner with Jesus, he explained to them that one of the twelve would soon betray him. One by one, the disciples denied that they themselves, including Judas, would be traitors. Jesus replied that His traitor, and indeed Judas, would suffer a terrible fate.
Jesus prayed and thanked God for the food. He then broke the bread and shared the wine with the disciples and explained to them that the bread symbolized His body, broken for them, and the wine representing His blood would be poured out for their sins. Surname. Excuse me. This is where the Church’s tradition of communism began.
After the meal Jesus became a servant and washed the feet of his disciples. Peter didn’t like it when Jesus washed his feet, but Jesus said he did it as an example for them. Now disciples can wash each other’s feet, that is, they can be everyone’s slave.
Easter story in the bible for preschoolers
Jesus is Crucified
The details of Jesus’ crucifixion are recorded in the books of the New Testament, known as the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. This Bible story is a central summary of the saving gospel of Jesus. Jesus Prophesied His Death in Matthew “From then on, Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he would have to go up to Jerusalem and endure many things. In the hands of the elders and chief priests, the Teacher taught the law and said that He must be killed and be raised on the third day. “Jesus understood that his life would be needed as an offering for sin. , Of human.
At the height of his ministry and miracles, many Jews believed in Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God. The Jewish leaders were afraid of Jesus because of the increasing number of his disciples. With the help of Judas Iscariot, Roman soldiers arrested Jesus and put him on trial for claiming to be the King of the Jews. According to Roman law, the punishment for treason is death by crucifixion.
The Roman governor Pontius Pilate reluctantly punished Jesus. Pilate cannot see Jesus as being wrong, but he wants to give the people what they want, and that is Jesus’ death. Pilate washed his hands in front of the crowd to show that he was not responsible for Jesus’ bloodshed and then surrendered himself to Jesus to be beaten and scourged. Jesus wears the crown of thorns and carries his cross on the path that leads to the hill where he will be crucified. The place where Jesus was crucified is called Calvary, which means “where the skull is.”
Crowds gathered to watch and mourn the death of Jesus. Jesus was crucified between two criminals and his side was pierced with a sword. When Jesus was being mocked, one of the criminals asked if Jesus remembered him, and Jesus replied: “Truly, I told you, now you will stay all day today. With me in heaven. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and prayed to God to “Forgive them, for they know not what they have done.” “As he breathed his last, Jesus said: “Father, into your hands I have committed my spirit… It is done.” ,
An extraordinary event marked the death of Jesus. When Jesus was hanging on the cross there was darkness in the sky for three hours. As soon as he breathed his last, the earth shook, the curtain of the temple was torn from top to bottom, the tombs of the saints were opened and their bodies rose from the dead.
The crucifixion of Jesus has been a part of God’s plan from the very beginning. Human sin will require sacrifice. The innocent life of Jesus was lived and given so that man could attain salvation and eternal life in heaven.
The Easter Donkey’s
A very suitable story for preschoolers is The Easter Donkey, a story about a donkey named Druplet. He is chosen to play the role of Jesus’ donkey for the Palm Sunday celebrations.
He witnesses the story of Jesus from Palm Sunday to Easter, also known as the Easter story. Let’s look at the main elements of this story. Now, this is the real story of Holy Week that you will tell your children.
Lent is forty days beginning on Ash Wednesday when Christians fast and pray from Biblical days except Sundays. During this period, the festival of Easter falls on the sixth Sunday.
It is also interesting to explain that Easter is always the first Sunday of spring, because in old times people followed the Jewish calendar, which depends on the lunar and solar cycles. Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday when Jesus arrived riding on a donkey.
On Maundy Thursday, Jesus had His ‘Last Supper’ with the 12 Apostles. He knew that Judas Iscariot would betray him. So during the Supper, Jesus washes and wipes the disciples’ feet (called a pedilavium), breaks bread to symbolize his body, and gives them a sip of wine to symbolize his blood.
This explains why the Catholic Church observes this celebration and also why Lent is a time of reflection if we have been untrue to our faith and to Jesus Christ. Maundy means the Lord’s command to love one another.
Good Friday is the day when Jesus was betrayed by Judas in the Garden of Gethsemane by a kiss for the price of thirty pieces of silver (Matthew 26:15). He was then taken before Pontius Pilate, who forced him to hand him over to the Jews for crucifixion, even though he found Jesus innocent of the charges.
Jesus was stabbed with thorns at least 39 times, and medieval texts claim that Jesus suffered at least 5,466 wounds! He then carried the cross via Dolorosa to Mount Golgotha outside Jerusalem and was crucified and died while hanging on the cross at approximately 3-4 p.m. So why is it good? Because Jesus dies for our sins, and it’s okay to cry. It is a sad day. But he rises on Easter!
Holy Saturday was the day when Jesus was buried in a tomb, and a large rock was rolled over him. After this comes Easter Sunday. Many Christians keep vigils and reflect on the fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead at midnight. A Paschal candle is lit outside the darkened church and carried inside during the vigil.
Easter Sunday is the day when Jesus’ disciples find his tomb untouched but his body missing. Jesus appeared before the women and told the world that he had risen from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion, as he had promised. Take a moment to read his last words in Luke 23:34, 43, John 19:26-30, where he forgives those who kill him.
The Easter Star’s Secret
In a sleeping town nestled beneath a velvety night sky, a small star named Stella twinkled with an extraordinary mystery. Each Easter, Stella’s light became a guiding lighthouse for the Easter Bunny, leading him to hidden treasures around the world.
One evening, as Easter preparations began, Stella became aware of the sadness in Bunny’s heart. Determined to spread an extra dose of happiness, Stella decides to embark on a magical journey of her own. With a sprinkle of stardust, she transforms into a small rabbit and joins the Easter Bunny on his mission.
Together, they skipped across moonlit meadows, crossed sparkling streams, and shared stories with the creatures of the night. Stella as the bunny explores the wonders of Easter from a different perspective. Both faced challenges, laughter and even moonlight pranks.
As dawn paints the sky in lighter colors, Stella reveals her true identity to the Easter Bunny. Touched by her kindness, the rabbit’s heart was filled with gratitude. The two return to town, bringing with them not only the eggs, but also the story of an unlikely friendship and the magic woven into the tapestry of Easter night.
Since that day, The Mystery of the Easter Star has become a beloved story, reminding children that kindness, friendship, and a sprinkle of starlight can make Easter even more magical.
Wishing you a faithful Holy Week, an enlightening Good Friday, and a very happy Easter! May you always walk in their light and tell their Easter stories. Even in these difficult times and all your troubles, know that He will never leave you and is in charge of everything.

Resurrection of Jesus
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of Christianity. Without the resurrection, faith in God’s saving grace through Jesus will be ruined. When Jesus rose from the dead, He confirmed His identity as the Son of God and His work of atonement, redemption, reconciliation, and salvation. The resurrection is the actual, literal, physical resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
Jesus was arrested, tried, and sentenced for calling himself king. His body was crucified between two thieves. After his death, Jesus’ body was wrapped in linen and placed in a tomb with a large rock hovering in the air.
On the third day, Sunday morning, Mary Magdalene and another Mary arrived at the tomb and found it empty. An angel of God was sitting on a rolling rock telling them not to be afraid because Jesus has risen. As the women came out to talk to the disciples, Jesus Christ met them and showed them his crucified hand.
Both the Old and New Testaments speak of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead Jesus witnessed his resurrection before dying on the cross, and the disciples saw the body after the resurrection. Below are the Bible and Bible verses that prophesy the resurrection of Jesus after his death and testify to its truth.
Bunny Ears Ring Toss Game
This fun Easter game can be played with materials obtained from the craft store or made at home as an Easter activity. If you have access to a craft store, get 4 to 6 rings and two inflatable bunny ears. Make sure the rings are large enough for the rabbit’s ears.
Create two or more teams. Draw a line on the floor at least 2 meters from the rabbit’s ears. Each team member takes aim at the rabbit’s ears and throws the ring. He then climbs on one leg to get the ring and returns to the starting point.
Then the other member throws the ring and gets on one leg to get it. The next person in line may throw the ring only after the person before him has returned to the start line. Each team gets 2 minutes, and the team with the most number of rabbit ears inside the ring wins.
The Magical Easter Paintbrush
Legend has it that Celestia had a magical Easter paintbrush that brought color to life. One Easter morning, when the village children gathered for the annual egg-painting competition, they discovered a hidden corner where Celestia’s enchanted workshop stood.
As soon as the children received the magical Easter paintbrush, the atmosphere was filled with curiosity and excitement. With each stroke, the paintbrush filled the eggs with vibrant colors and whimsical patterns. Unbeknownst to them, Celestia watched from a distance, smiling at the joy emanating from their artistic creations.
As the painted eggs dried, something extraordinary happened – they began to glow with an ethereal light. As the village comes alive with Easter celebrations, the painted eggs reveal their magical properties. When each egg is cracked, it bursts into a burst of colors, filling the air with vibrant colors and bringing good wishes to those who believe in the magic of Easter.
The village children, now keepers of the magical Easter paintbrush, continued the tradition and passed the charming story of Celestia’s gift to future generations. The magical Easter paintbrush became a symbol of creativity, wonder, and the eternal magic that Easter brings to those who believe in the paranormal.
