Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until stiff
peaks are formed. Explain that the color white represents the purity
in
God's eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus.
Read Isaiah.1:18 and John 3:1-3.

Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door and turn the oven
OFF.
Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door. Explain
that
Jesus' tomb was sealed.
GO TO BED! Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in
the oven overnight. Jesus' followers were in despair when the tomb
was
sealed. Read John 16:20 and 22.
On Easter morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie.
Notice
the cracked surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the
first Easter Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb open
and empty. Read Matt. 28:1-9
