empty tomb search<br />
One of our kids’ favorite traditi<strong>on</strong>s is searching for <strong>the</strong> “empty<br />
tomb.” Every year, my husband and I find a new locati<strong>on</strong> in our<br />
house, such as <strong>the</strong> dryer or a lower cabinet, where we’ve hidden<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir Easter baskets. As we read through <strong>the</strong> Bible story, we remind<br />
our kids that Jesus’ resurrecti<strong>on</strong> covers our sins, and His sacrifice is<br />
<strong>the</strong> best, sweetest gift we’ll ever receive. We emphasize key words<br />
from <strong>the</strong> passages and add additi<strong>on</strong>al clues to lead our kids to <strong>the</strong><br />
empty tomb locati<strong>on</strong> where <strong>the</strong>y’ll find <strong>the</strong>ir baskets.<br />

We share <strong>the</strong> love of Jesus and His resurrecti<strong>on</strong><br />
by handing out Christian tracts.<br />
We pass al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>the</strong>se comic-book style<br />
booklets to family, friends, neighbors and<br />
strangers. On <strong>on</strong>e occasi<strong>on</strong>, a homeless<br />
man approached us and said, “Hey, do you<br />
have any more of those little comic books?<br />
I want a handful.” A grandmo<strong>the</strong>r asked for<br />
a stack because she gave all hers away. It’s a<br />
joy for our children to share <strong>the</strong> Good News<br />
of Jesus’ resurrecti<strong>on</strong> with <strong>the</strong>ir friends.<br />
