The Best Easter Pageant Ever

"Then they took Jesus out of the city to nail Him to a cross." (Mark 15:20)

The kindergarteners at Briarwood Christian School gave an outstanding performance this morning in Three Trees, an Easter pageant based on Angela Hunt's The Tale of Three Trees. 

The program was so cute and so sweet but also very moving. Tears stung my eyes when the hammer echoed through the auditorium as Jesus was nailed to the cross. My eyes filled again when the children sang "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." In this Memaw's opinion, it was the best Easter pageant ever, and 5 and 6 year olds were the enthusiastic, shining stars.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for dying on the cross and rising again that we might have forgiveness and eternal life! Thank You, Lord Jesus, for schools that have not silenced their students from speaking Your name and telling Your story!
