God's story: Easter.
So part of God's story is about Easter, and it begins like this.
You might know Easter as the Sunday, a ginormous bunny hides chocolate inside plastic eggs, but Easter is really all about how much Jesus loves us, and how God sent Him to rescue us.
Remember how the Jews, God's special family, were waiting for a king to come rescue them?
Well, Jesus was the King, and this rescue was the whole reason He came to Earth.
God had already rescued the Jews once before, but this time it was going to include everyone.
So one night, Jesus told His friends about the rescue.
Exciting, right?
But talking about this rescue was sad.
That's because Jesus was going to rescue the world by dying.
