HOSANNA - Praise God
Munch, munch, munch. The little donkey stood eating the sweet green grass. Two men untied him and started walking down the road. “Where are they taking me?” wondered the little donkey. The men took him to Jesus. The little donkey thought, “This is a very special man. He must be the Master.”
Some of Jesus’ friends put their coats on the little donkey’s back. The little donkey was very proud when Jesus climbed on his back and sat down. Jesus’ friends led the donkey down the road to Jerusalem.
The streets were lined with happy people waving palm branches. They were shouting, “Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna! Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord.” Some threw their coats and palm branches on the ground for the donkey to walk on. Others bowed down and worshiped Jesus.
The little donkey was happy to carry Jesus on his back. He didn’t know that he was carrying the Savior of the world. All he knew was that he had been chosen for this very special job.

Jesus would soon go to His Father’s house. He wanted to eat the Passover meal with His disciples before He left. They were His friends. The Passover is a special meal. When we eat the Passover it helps us remember what Jesus did for us.
Everyone sat down around the table. Jesus took some flat bread and broke it into pieces. Jesus thanked God for the bread. Then, He gave a piece of bread to each of His disciples. He said “Eat this and remember my body.” The bread was to help them remember why He had to suffer. They all ate the bread Jesus gave them.
Jesus took a cup of wine. He thanked God for it. He said, “When you drink this wine, I want you to remember that my blood will be shed.” He wanted them to remember that He would die for all the wrong things we have done.
Jesus said every time we eat this special meal remember what it means. He wants us to always remember that He suffered and died for us.
Jesus said, “Do not worry. Do not be afraid. I will come back.” Jesus did not stay dead. We’ll see Him one day in His Kingdom. He will eat a Passover meal with us then.

Jesus once lived on earth. He did a lot of good deeds. He fed hungry people. He healed many sick people. He even brought some dead people back to life.
Jesus knew that He would soon die. He walked a long way to Jerusalem with His disciples. They would eat the Passover meal that night.
The road to Jerusalem was very dusty. The disciples’ feet got all tired and dirty. After eating the meal, Jesus did a good deed for His disciples. He poured some water in a bowl. He put a towel around His waist like an apron. Then He got down on His knees and washed the disciples’ feet. Jesus told them that He was showing them how to be kind and show love to each other. Jesus wanted them to know that everyone should be kind to others.
Can you think of something kind that you can do for someone?

PASSOVER MEAL - a special meal to help them remember a time when God spared Israel
ARREST - take to prison or jail
PUNISHMENT - what a person receives when he does something wrong
Jesus knew that it was almost time for Him to die. He was going to pay for all the bad things that everyone would ever do. Jesus wanted to talk to His Father. He asked if there was any other way that our sins could be forgiven. But, Jesus also told God that He would do whatever God said.
Jesus took Peter, James and John with Him to the garden to pray. But, instead of praying, His disciples fell asleep.
They heard the sound of many feet walking to the garden. It was soldiers coming to arrest Jesus. Peter tried to stop them. He took a sword and cut off the ear of one of the men. But, Jesus touched the man’s head and his ear was healed.
God answered Jesus’ prayer. There was no other way that our sins could be forgiven. God always answers our prayers in the way that is best for us.

CURSING - to swear at . to use bad words
DENIED - to declare as untrue
Peter was one of Jesus’ disciples. He left his fishing boat to follow Jesus. He promised Jesus that he would always love Him. He also promised to always be His friend. But Jesus knew Peter’s heart. He told Peter that a rooster would remind him of his promise.
Some soldiers came and took Jesus away. Peter was very frightened. He was afraid that the soldiers would take him to prison too. So he tried to hide in the crowd. A girl came to Peter and said, “You were with Jesus.” Peter lied to the girl. He said he didn’t know Jesus. She asked him again. And Peter lied the second time. Other people asked Peter if he knew Jesus. Again, Peter said he didn’t know Him. What did Peter promise Jesus?
All of a sudden Peter heard a rooster crowing. Then he remembered his promise to Jesus. He was very sorry for breaking his promise. He was sorry for lying. When you make a promise you should keep it.

TOMB - grave for the dead, sometimes like a cave
RISEN - come back to life
Jesus had been dead for three days. His disciples were very sad. Some of them had gone back to their fishing boats. Others were afraid that the soldiers would come for them too.
Some women were crying as they walked to the tomb early Sunday morning. These women were Jesus’ friends. When they got there they were in for a surprise! The big stone was rolled away. Who could have moved such a heavy stone? They looked inside, but Jesus was gone. Where had they taken Jesus their Savior?
An angel was standing by the door. He told the women, “Jesus is not here, He is alive.”
The women could hardly believe their ears. They ran from the tomb shouting, “He is alive again!”
It makes us sad to think about Jesus dying. But, we should be very happy that He didn’t stay dead. We can be like the women and tell our friends – He is alive again!
Roll, roll, roll the stone,
Roll the stone away.
Jesus is alive again,
What a happy day!

CRUCIFIXION - a very cruel death, by nailing to a cross or stake
GUIDE - to lead the way
Jesus was talking with His disciples. He said, “I am going to die. But I will not stay dead. I will come back to life in three days.” But the disciples forgot Jesus’ promise.
After Jesus died, His disciples were hiding in a room with the door locked. They were afraid the soldiers would come and kill them like they did Jesus.
All of a sudden, Jesus was there in the room with them! He didn’t come through the door, it was locked. Jesus asked them for something to eat. He was not a ghost. We know ghosts don’t eat! He showed them His hands and feet where the nails had been. He said, “Stop doubting and believe.” When Jesus makes a promise, we can believe Him. Jesus has promised us that He will come back to earth some day. We should believe Him.

DISCIPLE - one of Jesus’ helpers
CROWING - the sound a rooster makes
OBEY - to do what you are told
Peter said to Jesus, “I will always be your helper.” But when some bad men arrested Jesus, Peter was afraid. Do you remember a girl asking Peter if he knew Jesus? And Peter lied. He said that he didn’t even know Jesus. Now he was sorry.
Jesus wanted to know if Peter really did love Him. So three times Jesus asked, “Peter, do you love me?” Three times Peter answered, “Yes!” Each time Jesus told Peter to feed His sheep.
Jesus wasn’t telling Peter to feed real sheep. He wanted Peter to teach people who followed Him to obey Him. He wanted Peter to show that He really loved Jesus by doing what He said.
God showed us that He loves us by sending Jesus to this earth. Jesus showed that He loves us by dying for all the bad things we do. We should love Jesus very much. We show Him that we love him by being good and doing good things for others.

DISCIPLES - men who helped and followed Jesus
SINS - doing things that are bad
STRANGERS - people you don’t know
Many men went up to the mountain to find Jesus. These men were Jesus disciples. When they saw Jesus they worshiped Him. Jesus knew that He would soon go to heaven. He said, “I will always help you even after I go to heaven. All you have to do is pray and ask for my help.”
Jesus gave His disciples a job to do while He is gone. The job Jesus gave His disciples to do is to teach other people to obey His commandments. He wants everyone to not tell lies or to take something that belongs to another person. He wants everyone to obey his parents and to keep the Sabbath holy. He sent His Holy Spirit to make all of us strong and to help us do our job.
The disciples told everyone they met that Jesus loves them. Jesus wants everyone in the world to know how much He loves them. Even little boys and girls can tell others how much Jesus loves them.

BELIEVE - to trust it to be true
RISE - to go up
Jesus was getting ready to go to be with His Father. His job here on earth was finished. Now He had another job to do. He would be in heaven sitting next to His Father. That way He could talk to God about His people here on earth.
The disciples were afraid. They didn’t want Jesus to leave them. Jesus told them that He would come back again. He was going to make a place ready for us one day.
Jesus was talking to His disciples. All of a sudden He began to rise up in the clouds. Up, up, up He went. Finally, they couldn’t see Him any more. Instead, the disciples saw two angels standing with them. The angels told them not to be afraid. They said Jesus would come back some day.
It was very important for Jesus to go away and leave His disciples. It was for their own good!
