I prepared a class today to teach the 8 to 11 year olds in Primary. It is Easter Sunday so the class had a lot of activities that I didn't even get to. One was to give them a candy at the beginning of the class and to make them read a scripture and explained it to the class and if they did this, they would get a larger candy bar because they had earned it. Meaning that Christ gave us some things without us doing anything for them but other things we have earned them.
The other activity was to show them a picture of a dear loved one who has passed away and to explain that her body is buried but her spirit is still alive because of him.
There are also some scriptures that we discussed to review what he went through before his death. I had to gather things around the house like 30 silver coins, a cup, dice, a red cape, a white sheet, rope, nails, soap, rocks and dirt, spices and a stone. Each was a symbol found in the scriptures.
We also had a questions and answer matching game and a blackboard of prophecy and fulfillment!
The main idea of this lesson was to teach One: Jesus Christ gave us the gift of immortality and Two Jesus Christ made it possible to gain eternal life.
All I know is that I would someday love to look at Him in the eyes and say to him. I am a believer!
