Activity
1. Pass around a beautiful rose, with the thorns still
intact, to the youth. Talk about how fragrant and
pleasing it is.

3. 2. Next bruise some of the rose petals and point out
the thorns. Jesus Body was bruised for our iniquities
and a crown of thorns was placed on his head.

4. 3. Now Enlist someone to be a timekeeper and
someone to take the rose and see how fast
he/she can pull all the petals off the rose. (Make
this into a fun contest). At the end of the “race”
announce the time it took

5. 4. Ask for another volunteer. Get the timekeeper
ready and then announce – “Ok, let’s see if you can
beat that time. Are you ready? Ok, get set….put it
back together.”
5. This is an interesting moment.

6. Application
Sometimes things may seem hopeless. Christ was
crucified, his body bruised, his blood shed and he was
dead. While only God can make a rose, we can destroy it.
In the same way, Christ’s was God in flesh, flesh created
by God and then crucified by men.

7. It seemed impossible to bring him back to life. But
with God all things are possible. No matter how hard
one tries, you cannot rebuild a rose. It’s ruined. But
God can restore life through Jesus Christ. Give each
person a rose to remind them of the Easter story.
