109//  The Day Love Won: Jesus’ Sacrifice on the Cross: Mark 15

In this episode, we reflect on the powerful and emotional story of Jesus’ crucifixion. Mark 15 takes us through the events leading up to Jesus’ death on the cross, including His suffering, mockery, and sacrifice. Even in the face of pain, Jesus chose to obey God’s plan for salvation. This episode reminds us that Jesus’ love for us is so deep that He willingly gave His life to forgive our sins and restore our relationship with God. 

Key Points for Kids:

- Jesus suffered greatly to take away our sins and give us new life.  

- Even though people mocked and hurt Jesus, He chose to love and forgive.  

- Jesus’ death on the cross shows us how much He loves us and how powerful God’s plan is.  

- The temple curtain tearing symbolizes that we can now have a close relationship with God.  

- Because of Jesus, we can live with hope, knowing that sin and death do not have the final say.  

Memory Verse:

“You were dead because of your sins…then God made you alive with Christ, for He forgave all our sins.” —Colossians 2:13-14 (NLT, paraphrased)

Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus for Kids Podcast!

Do you ever feel like you want to know more about the Bible but that it’s kind of hard to understand? Do you want to share your faith with your friends but have a hard time figuring out how to do that? Do you want to learn how to connect the Bible to your real life? Well then, this is the show for you.

My name is Rachael, and I am your host. I have been a Children’s Pastor for a long time, and one of my favorite things is helping kids learn how to understand the Bible. I think that sometimes people think that the Bible is just for adults, but God actually really wants kids to know about Him. So, on this podcast, we are going to learn all about God’s Big Story and how he shows Himself to us through the Bible. As we learn together what the stories in the Bible mean, we can learn how to live out our faith in our everyday lives.
