Hopefully you had an amazing Easter with your children and families. Regardless of whether or not you were able to talk about the truths of the holiday or do any special activities, it is not too late to capitalize on the opportunities of Easter.
If your child attended Providence this weekend, he or she heard the gospel. Your child was taught that God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins. That punishment was death on the cross and by taking it for us, we can now live a life with God in our hearts if we love and trust Him.
Because your child heard so much this weekend, it would not seem strange for you to follow up at home, even if you don't normally talk about spiritual things together.
Focus on how big God's love is that He would send His only Son to go through such pain all so we could be with Him. Talk about how Christ accomplished what no one or no thing could ever accomplish - making us right before God and saving us from a forever death.
Whether you review the Easter story over leftover candy or play a question-and-answer review game with hidden Easter eggs, you can continue the spiritual discussion began at church. May your home and your children delight in the joy and hope of Christ's Resurrection!
