My girls and I have been memorizing Isaiah 53:6 this week in anticipation of Easter. We’ve been talking about what it means to go astray from God and how we all do it! God is so good and isn’t okay with losing his wandering sheep. He loves us so much He planned for Jesus to lay down His life in order to take the punishment for our sins.
Here’s a coloring page you can work through with your kids any time (but Easter is really great).
These are the instructions (also printed on the page):
1. Draw some sheep wandering away from the Good Shepherd. Write your name on one of them.
2. Write some ways that we go astray from God in the boxes under “sins.”
3. Thank Jesus that He loves us so much that He took the punishment for our sin on Himself at the cross!
You may also want to read the whole Isaiah 53 passage and see how it amazingly points to Jesus long, long before His coming!

Happy Easter!!!
