Juicy Fruit - 1:00 - Use an empty pack of gum to illustrate the empty tomb.
Chocolate Cross - 2:05 - With the crucifixion, God has taken something terrible and made it a symbol of life.
Large Empty Egg - 3:15 - Fun presentation for the empty tomb. Classic Pastor John!
Peeps (Marshmallow Chicks) - 4:45 - 'Me and my Peeps'. Punny use of popular US candy for any Easter talk.
Glow Balls - 5:32 - The ball lights up when it's bounced on the floor, illustrating the light and new life when the tomb was cracked open.

One Way Arrow - 8:10 - Jesus directs us to God, but people wanted to take him and his message in whole other direction.
