OBJECTS: None
Jesus had been crucified. His disciples had seen Jesus on the cross. They had seen the bruises and the blood and had seen Jesus die. Some women, and later some of the disciples, said that the tomb was empty. One of the women even said that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him. But the disciples didn’t believe her. They remembered seeing Jesus being taken down from the cross and placed in a tomb.
One day, not long after the crucifixion, the disciples were all together when suddenly Jesus stood among them. Jesus said, “Peace be to you.” (vs. 36)
The disciples didn’t feel very peaceful. They thought they were seeing a ghost! They remembered his death. They remembered that he was placed in the tomb – dead. The disciples were scared.
Jesus knew his friends were frightened. He said, “Why do doubts arise in your hearts? See my hands and feet, that it is truly me. Touch me and see.” (Vss. 38-39) And then, Jesus asked for food. After eating some fish and honeycomb, he talked with his disciples. He finished his talk by saying,“You are witnesses of these things.” (vs. 48)

OBJECT: fruits, vegetables, a Bible.
To grow and become strong, what must you do? Yes, you must eat good food. Do you consider fruits and vegetables to be good food? Okay, let’s have some fun and see if we can solve a few fruit and vegetable riddles. (Use as many or as few as time allows.)
I am a vegetable. I am green and I’m shaped like a tree. (broccoli)
I’m a berry. I’m tiny, round, and blue. (blueberry)
I’m a vegetable. I’m orange on the bottom and have a green top. (carrot)
I am a fruit. I have a long shape. I’m yellow and monkeys like to eat me. (banana)
Some people think I’m a vegetable, but I’m a fruit. I’m red and have seeds inside. Sometimes I’m mashed up and made into spaghetti sauce. (tomato)
All of these fruits and vegetables are healthy choices and tasty too.
When Jesus reappeared to his disciples, after his death, he said to them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” (24:41).
