To be made the evening before Easter, you need:
1 cup whole pecans
1 teaspoon vinegar
3 egg whites
Pinch salt
1 cup sugar
Zipper baggie
Wooden spoon
Tape
Bible
** Preheat oven to 300F.
** Place pecans in zipper baggie and let children beat them with the
wooden spoon to break into small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was
arrested He was beaten by the Roman soldiers.
Read John 19:1-3.
**Let each child smell the vinegar. Put 1 teaspoon vinegar into mixing
bowl. Explain that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross he was given
vinegar to drink.

**Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life. Explain that Jesus
gave His life to give us life. Read John 10:10-11. **Sprinkle a little
salt into each child's hand. Let them taste it and brush the rest into
the bowl. Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus'
followers, and the bitterness of our own sin. Read Luke 23:27. **So far
the ingredients are not very appetizing. **Add 1 cup sugar. Explain that
the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us.
He wants us to know and belong to Him. Read Psalm 34:8 and John 3:16.
**Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks
are formed. Explain that the color white represents the purity in God's
eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus. Read Isaiah 1:18
and John 3:1-3.
**Fold in broken nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto wax paper covered cookie
sheet. Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus'
body was laid.
Read Matthew 27:57-60.
**Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door and turn the oven
OFF. Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door. Explain
that Jesus' tomb was sealed. Read Matthew 27:65-66.
**GO TO BED! Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the
oven overnight. Jesus' followers were in despair when the tomb was
sealed. Read John 16:20 and 22.
**On Easter morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice
the cracked surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the
first Easter Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb Open and
empty. **Read Matthew 28:1-9
