Countdown to Easter – 40 Days of Jesus’ Words for Kids (FREE Printable!)

I can’t even believe that today is the beginning of the Lenten season!  40 days to prepare our hearts for the risen King!  The One who took all of our sins, redeemed our lives, and ushered us into the hope of glory!

Man!  Doesn’t that get you excited?

I was praying recently for a way to celebrate this season with my kids, as well as educate them about Jesus, and the Lord dropped an idea into my lap.

Study HIS words – 1 verse per day – leading up to Easter Sunday.

As I made these little cards, I felt so encouraged and inspired writing out the very words of Christ as He lived and did ministry here on earth over 2,000 years ago.  I pray that every day you will not just read a card and move along, but that these verses will be springboards for fruitful conversations with your families about Jesus!  Food for your souls!

Because, as Day 2 reads, “People do not live by bread alone, but by EVERY WORD that comes from the mouth of God!” (Matthew 4:4)

So dwell on Christ!  Soak up His words – He shared these messages with YOU in mind.

May they be a lamp to your feet and a light to your path as we anticipate the empty tomb and the glorious resurrection of our King.

SNEAK PEEK!!!

**Click HERE for your FREE Printable Countdown to Easter 40 Days of Jesus’ Words Cards!**

One of the last things Jesus said before ascending to heaven after His resurrection was, “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations…”  Would you mind sharing this post with the people in your world, so that we can get a lot of families all over the world spending time with/growing in Jesus this Easter season?

God bless you!

I will be praying for you all as we cling to the very words of Christ!

Joyfully,

Julie 🙂

*Note – I used several different versions of the Bible for this printable in an effort to keep it simple and kid-friendly.  The NIV, NLT, NIRV, and ICB translations are featured here!

    Julie – thank you ! I’ve used your Christmas Advent verses for the last few years, and my kids love having something to open everyday (and I love that it’s meaningful). I loved this idea for Easter instantly! We decided to put the verses in plastic easter eggs. We wrote the number on the outside of each egg in sharpie, and placed them in empty egg cartons. I love how easy this makes it to be reading and engaging in scripture with my kids, for 40 whole days! You’re amazing.

    Your advent verses were perfect at Christmas time – they even fitted in the pockets of our advent calendar, yay – so I was so pleased to find these when looking for Lent ones. I immediately printed them off (last minute as usual), and it was only afterwards I realised that I had forgotten to even read them! I just saw the style and knew they would be perfect! Thanks Julie.

  • I find myself spending more time looking at the world and the problems instead of looking at these 4 heroes right here. This is what needs our attention. This is where change begins. Spend time praying for them instead of scrolling vanity. Spend time memorizing God’s Truths instead of dwelling on flawed opinion. Spend time laughing and playing and breathing deep the smell of their necks. Spend time teaching and training and living in the ✨light✨. This is the future. God has great things coming.

  • I went to church today. It was so good and so needed. I haven’t been in weeks. It’s funny how I let myself get comfortable with that. I tell myself it’s easier to just watch church at home online. Which is not true because basically every time I do that the children start a wrestling match in the living room while I am trying to listen to the sermon. Or the baby poops during the opening song. Or someone is inevitably injured. But I tell myself how nice it was to not wake up early. How lovely to stay in

  • We got fancy last night for our neighbor’s wedding. ‍♂️The wedding was about an hour drive away, so we had lots of time for car conversations without kids. This usually means that I vomit all the stuff I have been trying to process on my own and Ryan swoops in with a few ultra wise one-liners that talk me off the ledge. Things I learned on the drive... 1. Stop watching the news. Our souls were not made for so much information. 2. Never stop dreaming. Even if your circumstances are hard and you feel all your creativity and hopes
