Easter is approaching and it’s time to celebrate with sweets and treats. Among all the colorful candies, jelly beans have always been a favorite for many. But did you know that there is more to jelly beans than just their sweetness? Let me introduce you to the Jelly Bean Prayer.
What is the Jelly Bean Prayer?
The Jelly Bean Prayer is a short poem that tells the Easter story using the colors of jelly beans. Each color represents a different aspect of the story, making it a fun and engaging way to teach children about the true meaning of Easter. The prayer goes like this:
RED is for the blood He gave
GREEN is for the grass He made
YELLOW is for the sun so bright
ORANGE is for the edge of night
BLACK is for the sins we made
WHITE is for the grace He gave
PURPLE is for His hour of sorrow
PINK is for our new tomorrow
How to use the Jelly Bean Prayer?
One way to use the Jelly Bean Prayer is to print out the poem and attach it to a bag of jelly beans. You can give these out as Easter gifts to family and friends, or hand them out during Easter Sunday service. You can also use the poem to create fun crafts and activities for children, such as making a jelly bean cross or coloring pages with the colors of the prayer. The possibilities are endless!
