The Easter Lamb

Description

In The Easter Lamb, the traditional Easter story takes on new significance as Jesus’s death and resurrection are explored through the events of Passover. Through child-friendly text and engaging illustrations that meaningfully connect these two important events, young readers will see how God has always cared for his children and that he had a plan for our salvation from the start. On the night he was arrested, Jesus celebrated Passover with his disciples during what we now call the Last Supper. Jesus knew he would soon have to die like the lambs who were sacrificed in place of the firstborn Israelites so that all of God’s children might live. John Greco masterfully tells these two stories—Passover and Easter—in The Easter Lamb, weaving together their biblical symbolism and significance. You may have heard the Easter story before, but this unique take will deepen you and your child’s understanding of the holiday and explain how important the image of Christ as a lamb truly is. The Easter Lamb is ideal for: • Introducing children 4 and up to the Passover and Easter stories • Sharing together as a family as a read-aloud or as part of a new Easter tradition • Helping young children better understand the Bible and how God’s redemptive plan connects throughout Scripture • Easter Sunday school lessons, family devotions, and gift giving
