Go and Tell Everyone About Jesus' Power!

Today in 123 Go was the final installment of the Treasure Quest series. This week your children learned the story of the Resurrection of Jesus and what that means to us. On stage, we said goodbye to Kit and Andi but not before joining them for the last chapter of their adventure. Kit was depressed after hearing about how Jesus died last week and was anxious to get back home. Andi encouraged Kit to stick around for the final stone because Jesus’ story wasn’t finished. Soon they found the “resurrection stone” puzzle, and Andi shared the Bible Story. In the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John, is the story of the resurrection of Jesus. After Jesus was crucified, He was buried in a tomb. To seal the tomb, a large stone was rolled in front of it. After three days, some of the women that Jesus knew went to visit the tomb. When they arrived, the women saw that the stone had been rolled aside and an angel was sitting on it. The tomb was empty. The women didn’t know where Jesus was. The angel told them that Jesus wasn’t in the tomb because He is alive! Jesus conquered death! Jesus later appeared in person to His disciples. He gave them the task of telling the rest of the world about Him. That task belongs to us as well. It is our task to tell people everywhere about Jesus and His power.

After telling the Bible story, Andi and Kit found a letter from Professor J. Bartleby O’Conner, the man who had sent them on this quest. The letter explained that it is now Kit’s job to continue on and tell the people about Jesus on every quest from now on. Andi is also congratulated on a job well done and rewarded with the responsibility of taking care of the Professor’s pet monkey, Archibald. Today, your children learned about what should now be their lifelong mission: To tell others about Jesus and to live the life God wants them to.
