Jelly Beans come in so many colors and flavors...but here's a few to share for story time. Place in a baggy or jar these colors of jelly beans.
PURPLE represents the wine He poured. "Take and drink," said Christ our Lord.
RED represents the blood He shed when thorns were pressed upon His head.
BLACK represents the sky at three when Jesus died for you and me.
ORANGE represents the fire at night our Easter Vigil's Holy LIGHT.
WHITE represents the burial clothes inside the tomb where Jesus laid that afternoon.
PINK represents the Eastern skies of morning when He did arise.

AND THEN SHARE THE STORY.

That is a wonderful idea, thanks for sharing. If I can get to the store on the way to work, I will share this with our class.
Thanks also for stopping by and for your kind comment. Wishing you a wonderful Easter weekend.
Hello dear Granny Nanny how beautiful. I got some jelly beans to have and thanks for this great idea. I am going to makes packs of each with a note on it for each of them. I will put those in the plastic eggs I have on our Easter tree, since they are too big for hunts any more. Blessings.

Deanna, this is a wonderful way to share the Easter story. I cannot wait until I have grandbabies to share this with. I will be passing it to my young moms...my former "college kids" from our Bible study, who are now moms. They will love it!
Thank you, too, for the prayers and encouragement you have sent my way. Last Saturday, I felt a confidence that could only have come from God. I truly felt covered in prayers. I truly appreciate you. And I pray that you and your husband have a blessed Easter...and much more.
Hugs,

Thanks for your sweet visit -- and I always enjoy your spiritual messages -- this is great for parents, grandparents and Sunday School teachers. Have a Wonderful Easter, friend!
Hi D. Oh, I love this! I didn't know about the orange color. Who would think our jelly beans could be a witness?
Thanks for popping in to see me.
Be a sweetie,
