St. Paul Lutheran Church, Austin
One word from Jesus, and death lets go.
Arise.
A boy who lies down flat, and then stands up when Jesus speaks.
1. Color the boy. Color Jesus. 2. Cut out the boy along the heavy line. A grown-up can do the cutting. 3. Fold the strip at the bottom so the boy lies down flat on the road. 4. Say the words together: "Young man, I say to you, arise." 5. Stand the boy up.
Do it again. Do it as many times as you want.
Say this while you work. Who makes dead people alive? Jesus does.
"YOUNG MAN, I SAY TO YOU, ARISE."
Luke 7:14 (ESV)
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
