The R.I.O.T. Report - Taking our punishment!

R.I.O.T. had 16 kids in our group this Wednesday!















As we continue to learn about Jesus' journey to the cross we reviewed Palm Sunday and looked ahead to the last supper, and thought about how Jesus felt in the Garden of Gethsemane as he prayed.
When asked if they would sign up to take the punishments of a friend or sibling for the week, most of the class decided that it did not seem like a good deal. Tilly definitely did not want to take Cooper's punishments this week. Nor did Alec want to get in trouble every time Austin acted up. (However Nick N. did say he was willing to take Nick S. 's punishments :)

We are thankful that Jesus was willing to take our punishment for us so that we can live forever with God in Heaven.





This week we learned what Jesus asked us to do in remembrance of Him at the last supper. I asked the kids to write what they remember about Jesus.




Here are some of the answers:

"He died on the cross."

"He didnt sin!"

"Jesus Died for are sins he came back to life."

"Jesus knew he was going to die."

"He is the son of God."

"He loves us."

"I remember when he told peter to walk on water. I remember when he fed 5000 people with like 2 pieces of bread and fish."

"Jesus sat down with his disiples and said Judus you will betrade me."

"He turned water into wine"

"Jesus will love you forever"

"He healed people"

"I remember that he rose from the dead"
