Jesus is still our rescuer.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">Throughout the arc of God\u2019s big story, we see God at work executing a rescue plan to bring His people from slavery to freedom, death to life. During the Easter season, we remember that God\u2019s own Son, Jesus Christ, came once for all, offering the way into God\u2019s presence by way of His life and His blood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this five-lesson series, we\u2019ll walk through what it looks like for God to show up, promise His presence, and make the way where there was none. We will connect the long journey of God\u2019s people from slavery to freedom, from Moses and the Israelites in Egypt to the death and resurrection of Jesus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus is alive, and because of Him, we can transition from slavery to freedom, from death to life\u2014now those are connections worth celebrating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Connected Easter Series Overview Video\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1036073684?h=636530d981&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Series Invitation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I once chatted with a runner who\u2019d helped carry the Olympic torch on its way to the Salt Lake City Winter Games. \u201cIt was the honor of my lifetime to witness history in the making,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I loved proclaiming peace as I carried the torch.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re about to feel like he felt\u2014but more so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the next few lessons, you\u2019ll declare the good news of Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection. You\u2019ll shine a spotlight on the pivotal event in history: the moment Jesus crushed death beneath His feet as He walked out of a tomb. The moment of our rescue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s not just a historical event. Jesus is still defeating death, still sparking new life in the hearts of His followers. Jesus is still our rescuer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, there\u2019s no better way to proclaim peace than to point others\u2014your kids, especially\u2014to the Prince of Peace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So prepare for these lessons prayerfully. Read through each lesson\u2019s Scripture passage several times. Remember that the same God who spoke from a burning bush and parted the sea raised His Son from death\u2019s grip and made the way for us to walk in freedom from sin. Let those truths work in your life, so through you, they\u2019ll have a greater impact on the lives of kids you serve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then hoist those truths high. Sprint with them boldly. Let them shine for every child in your ministry to see.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Run well, friend. We\u2019re praying for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"6836\" class=\"elementor elementor-6836\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-44db1a4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"44db1a4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3fd2177\" data-id=\"3fd2177\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44f2d06 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"44f2d06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-xl\" href=\"https:\/\/app.wonderink.org\/?page=RegisterChurch&#038;_gl=1*1vf7quv*_gcl_au*MTg0ODQ5OTU5Ny4xNjg5Njk5NjI3*_ga*ODkwNTM3NjE0LjE2ODk2OTk2Mjg.*_ga_D2HKCMMJ9V*MTY5Njk2NTE2My41Ni4xLjE2OTY5NjUxODMuMC4wLjA.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Try for Free<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9dfdb8d elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9dfdb8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/app.wonderink.org\/?page=RegisterChurch&#038;_gl=1*1vf7quv*_gcl_au*MTg0ODQ5OTU5Ny4xNjg5Njk5NjI3*_ga*ODkwNTM3NjE0LjE2ODk2OTk2Mjg.*_ga_D2HKCMMJ9V*MTY5Njk2NTE2My41Ni4xLjE2OTY5NjUxODMuMC4wLjA.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-opt-id=1573953086  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlzai04amy7e.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:80\/f:best\/https:\/\/wonderink.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wonder-Ink-logo.png\"   decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"311\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6197\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0955910 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0955910\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: small;\">Wonder Ink\u2019s 3-year, 52-week children\u2019s ministry curriculum offers kids space to fully find their place in God\u2019s Big Story.
