Has anyone else noticed how difficult it is to find Christ-centered Easter/Resurrection crafts and activities? Even at Hobby Lobby (a Christian based company) I was only able to find 2 Christ-focused crafts (one of which I cannot use because it has a hippy long haired Jesus). The rest were Easter eggs and bunnies.
Some may wonder, "what's the big deal? They're cute! Everyone else is having egg hunts at Church. Why don't you?!"
My reason - I'm not casting stones at anyone else who does, but when I think about the excruciating agony, the scourging, the thorns piercing Jesus' brow, and the torture He went through on the Cross, I have to wonder how it makes Jesus feel when we focus attention more-so on bunnies and egg hunts than about the remembrance of what Jesus endured to purchase our Redemption?
We will have a Resurrection Story Stone Hunt which tells the story of what Jesus did for us ending with the celebration that He is Alive and wants to live in our hearts. And we will have a Candy Rain after Church on Resurrection Sunday to remind us of God's sweet love and blessings that He showers down on us.
If you are looking for Christ centered activities and having trouble finding them as I did, this blog may give you some ideas....
