2012 SKY VBS - Day 4

Apollo the Caterpillar is our Bible buddy for Day 4 at Sky VBS.  Apollo is a caterpillar now, and his current job is to eat and eat and eat and eat.  Eventually he will bundle into a cocoon, and when the time is right, he will come out completely changed - with a brand new body that can FLY!  Then he will be Apollo the Butterfly.  Apollo wants us to remember that:

Everything is possible with God. 

Things can look REALLY BAD sometimes in life.  Terrible things can happen.  But Apollo knows that:

Jesus' disciples were very, very discouraged.  They had eaten supper with Jesus on Thursday evening, but then he was arrested, tried, and taken out of the city to Golgatha and crucified by Roman soldiers!  The disciples stood around the cross and watched Jesus die.  Then on Friday evening, they took the body of Jesus off the cross and put it in the tomb.  They sealed the tomb and went away - very, very sad about the loss of their friend.  All day Saturday they grieved for their Lord.  But on Sunday morning, Jesus was resurrected and CAME BACK TO LIFE!!  How wonderful!  This taught the disciples that No Matter What Happens - trust God!

Our memory verse today is Romans 8:38:

And I am convinced that nothing 

can ever separate us from God's love.

Romans 8:38
