Resurrection Rolls

Ingredients and Symbolism:
Large marshmallows- body of Jesus

Melted butter- oils of embalming

Cinnamon and sugar mix- spices used to anoint the body

Crescent roll- the wrapping of Jesus' body or the tomb

Oven- the tomb

Cavity in bun- the empty tomb or the empty cloths

Directions:
1. Take a marshmallow. This represents Jesus.

2. Dip the marshmallow in melted butter. This represents the oils of embalming.

3. Now dip the buttered marshmallow in the cinnamon and sugar which represents the spices used to anoint the body.

4. Then wrap up the coated marshmallow tightly in the crescent roll (not like a typical crescent roll up but bring the sides up and seal the marshmallow inside.) This can either represent the wrapping of Jesus' body after death or the Tomb. Matt. 27:57-61; John 19:38-42

5. Bake as directed on the package of the crescent rolls. (The oven can represent the tomb if the roll is representing the wrapping--pretend like it was three days!) Take the role of the guards at Jesus' tomb. Stand guard at the oven.

6. Let the rolls cool slightly. Open your crescent rolls and descover that Jesus is no longer there, HE IS RISEN!!!! (The marshmallow melts and the crescent roll is puffed up, but empty.)

7. Jesus is Risen! Now read Matt. 28:5-8; Mark 16:4-8; Luke 24:1-6; John 20:1-18; and Isaiah 25:8
