The Second Glorious Geranium: Jesus goes to heaven

The next geranium is the ascension. Jesus has to go to heaven. He has to go see his father. He had stayed on earth for forty days. Now, his disciples have to preach the gospel and share the good news.

The apostles must now spread the good news. They have to spread what Jesus said so Jesus can come into their hearts. The apostles must've been excited and a bit nervous about telling people about Jesus.

What would you have done if you were and apostle? Would you tell people what happened with Jesus? Would you travel all over to tell people? Would you write letters to people? What would you tell them? What would you do to show God's mercy? What can you do now to show people what Jesus did for you and them?

Jesus gave his apostles a big task. What would've happened if they said no? Would you've said no? Would you've said yes?

Jesus trusted the apostles to spread the good news and to start forgiving sins, and also begin the church and help it grow. Would you have been happy if you got to do that?

The First Glorious Geranium: Jesus raises from the dead

This set of flowers is the happiest. The geraniums are the best. They are about how Jesus raises from the dead and lives forever in glory. The first geranium is how Jesus resurrects.

Many people who followed Jesus were mourning. Jesus rose from the dead and no one saw him.

Some women came to dress his body, but they didn't find him. They began to cry. Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and Peter. They were very happy.

Jesus also appeared to two disciples on the way to Emmaus. He also appears to the disciples behind locked doors and gives them the power to forgive sins.

Maybe Mary and the rest had forgotten what Jesus had said. He did say he would be raised from the dead. And he did, just as he said.

Jesus loves you!
