Introduction
I love this simple, but powerful object lesson about Easter. It is just a short video, but once you’ve seen it, you can use it to teach kids and adults on the meaning of Easter. It is a wonderful demonstration of how the Father showed His love for us in the cross of His Son. You can use this easy to do object lesson to illustrate how Gods love and forgiveness flowed through the cross into our lives! A great way to explain the Gospel with just the use of a piece of cotton string and two glasses. You have to watch this...

Activity
- Cut a 2 foot long segment of string
- Soak the string in clear water until it is soaked through

- Put one end of the string into the cup with water and hold the other end above the empty cup
