Jesus, the Servant King

"Good morning boys and girls. How would you like to use your imaginations and visit some of the places that Jesus visited during the last week of his life? If you look closely, you will see, with my help, the streets, the palaces, the gardens, the dining room, the church and even the place where Jesus died and was buried."

-- from the lesson "The Temple"

"Jesus, The Servant King "offers six object lessons for Lent. Each lesson focuses on a place where Jesus visited during the critical final week of his life. Each lesson includes a drawing, which you may use to show children while telling your story.

The lesson themes are:

- The temple

- The upper room

- The garden

- Calvary

- The streets of Jerusalem

- The empty tomb
