\nA Rose<\/p>\n

Activity<\/strong><\/em>
\n1. Pass around a beautiful rose, with the thorns still intact, to the youth. Talk about how fragrant and pleasing it is.<\/p>\n

2. Next bruise some of the rose petals and point out the thorns. Jesus Body was bruised for our iniquities and a crown of thorns was placed on his head.<\/p>\n

3. Now Enlist someone to be a timekeeper and someone to take the rose and see how fast he\/she can pull all the petals off the rose. (Make this into a fun contest). At the end of the \u201crace\u201d announce the time it took<\/p>\n

4. Ask for another volunteer. Get the timekeeper ready and then announce – \u201cOk, let\u2019s see if you can beat that time. Are you ready? Ok, get set….put it back together.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. This is an interesting moment.<\/p>\n

Application<\/strong>
\nSometimes things may seem hopeless. Christ was crucified, his body bruised, his blood shed and he was dead. While only God can make a rose, we can destroy it. In the same way, Christ\u2019s was God in flesh, flesh created by God and then crucified by men. It seemed impossible to bring him back to life. But with God all things are possible. No matter how hard one tries, you cannot rebuild a rose. It\u2019s ruined. But God can restore life through Jesus Christ. Give each person a rose to remind them of the Easter story.<\/p>\n
