Page 4 of 7 RED NIGHT – THE BLOOD OF JESUS
Prepare scriptures about the precious blood of Jesus and make this your theme for the family meal table. Choose all red foods for this meal, e.g. beets, radishes, red beans, red hot dogs, tomato sauce or soup, potatoes or rice colored with red food coloring etc. For dessert you could have lovely red fruits such as pomegranates, blood oranges, cherries, strawberries, watermelon or red grapes, You could ask the children to find all their white clothes and wear them to the table. Of course they won’t know why! It’s fun keeping them in suspense isn’t it? Children love surprises. When you have read the scriptures or asked each child to read one of the scriptures you can explain to them how their sins are washed away in the blood of Jesus. That’s why they have white clothes on for this meal. Sing some songs together about the blood of Jesus. We can’t speak or sing about the blood of Jesus enough. E.g.
"What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus."
"Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed
in the blood of the Lamb?"
"There is power, power, wonder-working power, in the precious blood of the Lamb."
Suggested scriptures for you to choose: Exodus 12:12-13; Psalm 103:12; Isaiah 44:22; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 9:14, 22; 10:17; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7-9; Revelation 1:5-6.
