Let them taste it and brush the rest into the bowl.   Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus' followers, and the bitterness of our own sin. Read Luke 23:27. So far the ingredients are not very appetizing. Add the sugar.   Explain that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us.   He wants us to know and belong to Him. Read Psalm 34:8 and John 3:16. Beat with a mixer on high for 12-15 min. 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 Isa. 1:18 and John 3:1-3. Fold in broken nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto wax paper covered cookie sheet.   Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus' body was laid. Read Matthew 27:57-60. Put the cookie sheets 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. Read Matthew 27:65-66. 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. Reread Matthew 28:1-9.
