TUESDAY
Jesus’s presence in Jerusalem did not go unnoticed by the authorities.
Seeing Jesus as a threat, they seek to discredit Him. Jesus taught people in
the temple and on a nearby hill called the Mount of Olives. While teaching on
this hill, the priests question Jesus in hopes of finding something they can
use against Him. But Jesus’s inspired answers reveal no crime, and His enemies
only discredit themselves. The priests plotted to kill Jesus. One of His
disciples, Judas Iscariot, agreed to turn Jesus over to the priests in exchange
for 30 silver coins. Despite incredible opposition, the work of Jesus Christ
moved on. Because of His great love for us, we don’t have to face life’s
obstacles alone. When we seek His help, we can overcome even the greatest of
challenges.*

Activity:
Make testimony eggs or a testimony egg card. Print out pg 31
from the April 2004 Friend.
Pick a friend or family member you want to give your eggs
to. Let each of your kids take a turn writing on a strip of paper something
they know to be true about the gospel. Fill as many plastic eggs as you can and
add them to a basket or cute box to deliver to a friend or family member. If
you don’t want to fill eggs, you can use the egg on the printout and make a
card to list all the things your kids know be true about the gospel.
Use the Spring Basket cookies from the Friend, or your favorite cookie recipe and make cookies to add to
your basket or box.
