Jesus and the Cross (CC)

PASTOR STEVEN WAGENKNECHT-WELS 4-03-2016 Children's Message ABIDING SAVIOR EV. LUTHERAN WWW.ABIDINGSAVIORWELS.COM YOU KNOW THAT JESUS DIED AND DO YOU THINK THAT IT HURT JESUS WHEN HE DIED? [YES] IT WAS PAINFUL, WASN'T IT, THAT HE HAD TO DIE TO PAY FOR ALL OF OUR SINS? WELL, LOOK AT THIS CROSS HERE. IS JESUS ON THIS CROSS? NO, HE'S NOT THERE, IS HE? BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZE THAT JESUS FINISHED PAYING FOR OUR SINS. HE DOESN'T HAVE TO. HE'S NOT SUFFERING ANYMORE FOR ALL OF THEM BECAUSE HE PAID FOR ALL OF THEM. AND NOW HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND HE'S IN HEAVEN. SO JESUS ISN'T SUFFERING BECAUSE ALL OF YOUR SINS ARE PAID FOR. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT TODAY. KNOWING THAT JESUS WORK OF DYING FOR US IS ALL DONE AND SO I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A CROSS TO TAKE WITH YOU AND RECOGNIZE JESUS IS NOT ON THIS CROSS ANYMORE BECAUSE HE'S TOTALLY FINISHED PAYING FOR ALL OF OUR SINS. I'LL GIVE YOU YOUR CHOICE OF WHICH COLOR YOU WANT. AFTER YOU PICK A CROSS YOU CAN GO BACK AND SIT WITH YOUR FAMILY. AND WE'LL SING OUR FIRST HYMN: HYMN 154.
