Eggs-actly!  

Eggs are wonderful tools to use as you teach  the real meaning of Easter. Just look at them differently this year.

  First, I used the colors of the eggs to represent the following: the darkest egg-our hearts are dark with sin, red is for the blood of Jesus; white  for purity; green for growth, blue for heaven and yellow for streets of gold.

  Maybe you have seen the carton of eggs with symbols of the crucifixion story. They can be purchased from Bible books stores. They are a wonderful object lesson leading up to the resurrection story. I personally think a dozen eggs is too many for my teaching style so I made my own using  only 6 large eggs that can be purchased at most department stores. 

Explain that eggs are a reminder of new life. A baby chick cracks the egg open and begins its new life in this world. Then I open the eggs to explain the enormous price Jesus paid  to purchase our salvation-to purchase new life.  I put a different object in the eggs.  Dimes to illustrate the pieces of silver that bought the betrayal of Jesus. A piece of purple fabric for the robe  and a piece of  a rose bush for the crown that was put on Jesus to mock Him as the King of Jews, a piece of leather for the whip, nails used to nail Him to the cross and a sponge soaked in vinegar  to illustrate what they offered Jesus when he was thirsty on the cross. Open each egg as you arrive at that point in the story.
