Tuesday - Walking in His Shoes

Station 6

On Tuesday in Holy Week Jesus spent time walking around Jerusalem, talking to people and teaching them.  This was a day of lots of parables and teachings.  One of the parables he told was The Parable of the Many Murders.  In this parable Jesus was predicting his death at the hands of his own people.  This was realised within the next four days. 

This parable can be viewed if you click on the words Parable of the Many Murders and then select the forward arrow.  While looking at this you may want to pray for all those going through difficult situations, struggling with feeling attacked by those around them.

Station 7

It was also on this day that Jesus explained the greatest commandment, to love one another just as he has loved us.  It can be so easy in all we go through in our own worries or struggle to forget those who feel lonely and who are suffering.  There are lots of wars in the world and people struggling with money, food, medical care and other things that we may take for granted.  Maybe you could take time to pray for all these people. There is some information from charities that might aid your prayers.

 

If you want to do something active there are suggestions of random acts of kindness (small things of service that might make a big difference to someone’s life) on card that you could take home to remind you of what to do.

 

Children: It was also on this day that Jesus explained that we should love other people.  There are lots of people around the world that don’t have anyone being kind to them.  Maybe you can think of a way you could raise money for charity.  Maybe you can show kindness to the people you see today.  There are cards here that have suggestions of how to show someone kindness.  You could take this card home to remind you of what to do.

 

 

Station 8

Jesus told the parable of the wise and foolish bridesmaids.  You might want to read the story from a bible, Matthew 25:1-13.  In this story Jesus taught that we should always be ready for him.  We do not know when he is coming back to earth.  You can light a candle to remind yourself that we will one day be able to experience eternal life with Jesus in heaven.

 

Children: Jesus told us that one day He will come back to earth and we will go to heaven.  With the help of an adult light a candle to remind you about Heaven and that we will be able to go one day.
