Jelly Bean Gospel - an Easter Rhyme for Kids of All Ages
The Good News of Christ Made Simple
to Him and said,
"Let the little children come to me,
and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of God
belongs to such as these.
I tell you the truth,
anyone who will not receive
the kingdom of God
like a little child
will never enter it."
(Luke 19:16-17)
These little sweets
Are really neat.
You can share God's Good News
With whomever you meet.
God is for God,
Our Maker and King.
He rules over everything.
Black is our sin,
Things we do, think and say,
Which are not God's way.
Red is Christ's blood,
Poured out from the cross,
To pay for our loss.
White is your heart,
When you give it to Him
And new life you begin.
Pink is the joy
You know in your soul
When He makes you whole.
Blue is the way
You stand up and say,
Jesus washed my sins away!
Green is for growing
And loving and showing
Your faith, which is glowing.
These little beans
Tell what it means
To live for Jesus
And do as He pleases.

Oh my gosh, Linda - this is the most clever Easter poem I have read. I love this. You are the best!
Cute, cute, CUTE!
I wrote and copyrighted this about ten years ago. Then I was astonished to receive email forwards from friends with this poem included. (I had to teach a few friendly copyright lessons. At least, I was glad to know people were reading! But how much better (and legal) to forward the URL/http link, rather than the contents! ;-)
