[1940.02 --> 1942.16] So let's just try it one more time all together,
[1942.16 --> 1944.16] and then we'll practice this throughout the month.
[1945.76 --> 1951.12] For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
[1951.62 --> 1957.92] that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
[1958.58 --> 1960.10] John 3, 16.
[1960.96 --> 1961.32] Awesome.
[1961.52 --> 1962.52] Thanks for joining me in that.
[1963.00 --> 1964.82] So we're going to get started on our story,
[1964.94 --> 1967.26] but first I have to tell you a little warning.
[1967.26 --> 1969.78] So today, Kids' Corner is going to be in two parts.
[1969.90 --> 1973.20] So this is part one, and then after the sermon's done,
[1973.24 --> 1974.26] you're going to have to come back.
[1974.34 --> 1977.02] So don't go running off too far after the sermon,
[1977.12 --> 1978.36] because I'm going to come back up here,
[1978.44 --> 1981.24] and we have to finish the second part of our story after.
[1982.58 --> 1984.14] First, before we get started, I have a question.
[1984.26 --> 1986.86] Has anyone ever been on a roller coaster?
[1987.50 --> 1989.08] Put your hand up if you've been on a roller coaster.
[1989.60 --> 1991.28] So I really like roller coasters,
[1991.58 --> 1993.18] although it's been a while since I've been on one.
[1993.80 --> 1996.66] And Easter to me always kind of reminds me of a roller coaster,
[1996.66 --> 1998.58] because what does a roller coaster do?
[1999.02 --> 2001.88] It goes up and down and up and down and around,
[2002.18 --> 2004.38] and you kind of get all jumbled up in your head.
[2005.14 --> 2006.52] And the really best roller coasters,
[2006.70 --> 2010.48] they bring out this feeling inside you that's both terrified,
[2010.78 --> 2013.36] but also really excited and happy.
[2013.76 --> 2015.66] And if a good roller coaster isn't terrifying,
[2015.78 --> 2017.96] then it's probably not good enough for me.
[2018.46 --> 2020.14] So Easter reminds me of that,
[2020.20 --> 2021.78] because we get through Good Friday,
[2022.08 --> 2024.88] and it brings out a lot of sadness, and it's hard.
[2024.88 --> 2026.18] And then we get Easter Sunday,
[2026.18 --> 2029.08] and now we're jumping over to joyful and happy.
[2030.04 --> 2032.38] And we're going to kind of talk about both of those things today.
[2032.56 --> 2035.74] So before we get started, I've got to get my props here.
[2041.74 --> 2042.54] All right.
[2044.00 --> 2044.44] Okay.
[2045.08 --> 2047.06] So, my story too.
[2047.18 --> 2050.06] We're going to start here with some special items
[2050.06 --> 2052.00] I can show you as the story goes.
[2053.42 --> 2055.68] You remember last week with Mr. Mike,
[2055.76 --> 2058.50] we talked about Peter denying Jesus.
[2058.62 --> 2060.24] So you remember that Jesus got arrested,
[2060.54 --> 2061.64] and they took him away.
[2061.98 --> 2064.02] So this is the continuation of that.
[2064.14 --> 2067.08] So Jesus now is in the hands of the authorities,
[2067.44 --> 2069.52] and people aren't very happy with him.
[2069.64 --> 2071.38] So let's read what happens.
[2071.38 --> 2075.68] The night of Jesus' arrest was a sad night.
[2076.28 --> 2077.88] Jesus heard the angry crowd,
[2078.32 --> 2079.30] Crucify him!
[2079.54 --> 2080.32] Crucify him!
[2080.36 --> 2080.86] They shouted.
[2081.76 --> 2084.08] Pilate, their ruler, he was puzzled.
[2084.88 --> 2086.56] What crime has Jesus done?
[2086.70 --> 2087.50] He asked the crowd.
[2087.86 --> 2089.54] But the people just shouted louder,
[2089.68 --> 2090.48] Crucify him!
[2091.44 --> 2093.04] So Pilate's soldiers,
[2093.22 --> 2094.34] they whipped Jesus,
[2094.80 --> 2096.10] and they made fun of him.
[2096.74 --> 2099.98] They put a sharp crown of thorns on Jesus' head.
[2099.98 --> 2102.98] I have an example here of a crown of thorns.
[2103.20 --> 2104.38] It even has a string,
[2104.52 --> 2106.04] and the box that this came in
[2106.04 --> 2108.30] had like a liability disclaimer
[2108.30 --> 2110.70] about not making a big deal
[2110.70 --> 2111.80] if you get injured by this.
[2111.86 --> 2112.56] It's quite sharp.
[2112.66 --> 2113.54] It's real thorns.
[2114.68 --> 2116.54] I can't imagine being this shoved on my head.
[2116.68 --> 2117.98] It would not feel great.
[2118.72 --> 2120.96] Look, they put one of these on Jesus' head,
[2121.78 --> 2123.96] and they spit on him,
[2124.02 --> 2126.32] and they made fun of him again and again.
[2126.74 --> 2127.80] Then they put,
[2127.80 --> 2130.60] the soldiers put a heavy cross on his back,
[2131.14 --> 2133.22] and Jesus tried to walk.
[2133.28 --> 2133.82] He stumbled.
[2133.98 --> 2134.54] He fell.
[2135.66 --> 2136.92] At the top of the hill,
[2137.44 --> 2138.14] the soldiers,
[2138.26 --> 2140.58] they nailed Jesus to a cross.
[2140.58 --> 2158.66] They pounded that cross into the ground,
[2158.86 --> 2160.72] and people still came by,
[2160.82 --> 2161.94] and they made fun of him.
[2162.36 --> 2162.82] They said,
[2162.92 --> 2164.94] well, if you're really the son of God,
[2165.04 --> 2166.36] why don't you save yourself?
[2166.36 --> 2168.92] The nails,
[2169.14 --> 2170.96] those would have hurt very much.
[2171.40 --> 2172.32] So did the teasing,
[2172.72 --> 2174.42] but Jesus didn't come down,
[2174.78 --> 2175.86] even though he could have.
[2176.22 --> 2178.94] He stayed on the cross for you and for me.
[2180.02 --> 2180.92] At noon,
[2181.02 --> 2182.98] around what we call lunchtime,
[2183.06 --> 2184.32] something really strange happened.
[2184.42 --> 2185.98] The sun disappeared,
