RESURRECTION ROLLS RECIPE

Resurrection rolls are a great Easter recipe that you can make with the kids. Cinnamon-coated marshmallows are wrapped in dough, then baked. When you break them open, they are empty inside, representing Jesus's tomb on Easter morning.

Ingredients

• • 1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
    
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
    
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
    
  • 8 large marshmallows
    
  • ¼ cup melted butter

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.

2. Separate crescent rolls into individual triangles.

3. Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.

4. Dip a marshmallow into melted butter, then roll in sugar mixture. Place marshmallow into the center of a dough triangle. Carefully wrap dough around marshmallow. Roll into ball. Pinch the seams together tightly to seal in marshmallow as it melts. Place roll on a baking sheet; repeat.

5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

GOOD FRIDAY

 

People often ask-- what is so good about "Good Friday?" Above is a you tube of the group CityAlight singing about that day.  We learn Good Friday is all about Jesus sacrificing Himself to pay for our sins.  Trevin Wax writes a meditation about it. Gives one something to think about.  

Isaiah 53:5- But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.

BE READY

 

Palm Sunday this year is on March 24 -- what is it all about?  It's all about Jesus.   Palm branches were a symbol of triumph and victory in ancient Jewish culture.  Laying palms before Jesus as written about in all gospels, (Matthew 21:1-11;  Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40; and John 12:1-19,) was a way for people to recognize Him as the Messiah they had been waiting for.  Many churches depict Palm Sunday by having palm branches included in the church service.  The rock musical "Godspel" produced on Broadway and made into a movie includes one song called "Prepare Ye the Way." A song by the John The Baptist in the musical proclaims that he was preparing the way for the Jewish Messiah.  John the Baptist then recognized that his cousin Jesus was the Messiah. 

The above videos show the song from Godspel and the songs sung in church this Palm Sunday. 

Jesus said that He would return soon.  He told us to be ready.  (John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.)

Luke 12:35 “Be ready and dressed. Have your lights burning. 36 Be like men who are waiting for their owner to come home from a wedding supper. When he comes and knocks on the door, they will open it for him at once. 37 Those servants are happy when their owner finds them watching when he comes. For sure, I tell you, he will be dressed and ready to care for them. He will have them seated at the table. 38 The owner might come late at night or early in the morning. Those servants are happy if their owner finds them watching whenever he comes. 39 But understand this, that if the owner of a house had known when the robber was coming, he would have been watching. He would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 40 You must be ready also. The Son of Man is coming at a time when you do not think He will come.”
