"Jesus is not here; He has risen, just as He said..."
Matthew 28: 6
At Easter season, the grandkids and I make resurrection rolls. It's a fun way to remind us the tomb is empty, and Jesus is alive. You need one can crescent roll dough, one bag of large marshmallows, melted butter, and a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
The marshmallow represents Christ's body.
Dip the marshmallow in the melted butter.
Roll the marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
These represent the oils and spices used to anoint Christ's body.
Take a marshmallow snack break!
Take one triangle section of crescent roll dough.
This represents the tomb.
Wrap the dough around marshmallow, sealing the seams well.
Bake according to crescent roll package directions.
After baking, the resurrection rolls should look like this...
...and not this. If rolls aren't sealed well, you've got a sticky mess!
And then you have to explain Jesus really did not melt...
After cooling, break open the tomb. Christ is risen!
Eat the rolls (they taste like cinnamon rolls), and celebrate God's amazing love!
What are some of your Easter traditions?
