Life of Christ Coloring Pages
Welcome to my Life of Christ coloring pages section.
Most of what we know about Jesus' life comes from four books in the Bible called the Gospels, named after Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each one tells the story a little differently, a bit like four friends describing the same day. Some moments turn up in all four and others in only one.

The Birth of Jesus
Jesus' very first bed was a manger, the wooden box that held the animals' hay. Angels brought the news to shepherds out in the fields, and a bright star led wise men all the way to Bethlehem...
Jesus' Life and Teaching
Jesus as an Adult
Before He started teaching, Jesus worked as a carpenter in the small town of Nazareth, the same trade as Joseph. Once He began, He spent His days with fishermen and farmers and families. He always made time for the children too, even when the grown-ups thought He was too busy.
Filled with the Holy Spirit
When Jesus was about 30, John the Baptist baptised Him in the River Jordan. As He came up out of the water, the Holy Spirit came down on Him like a dove and a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love." Jesus left the river full of the Holy Spirit and ready to begin His work.

Luke 5:5-6

The Parables
Jesus loved to teach with parables, short stories about everyday things like seeds and sheep. In one, a shepherd leaves his 99 sheep to search for the one lamb that wandered off. He's so happy when he finds it that he carries it home on his shoulders.
Holy Week and Easter
Palm Sunday
When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, the crowds spread their cloaks and palm branches on the road in front of Him and shouted "Hosanna!" Many churches still hand out palm branches on the Sunday before Easter to remember that day.
The Garden of Gethsemane
On His last night with His friends, Jesus went to pray in Gethsemane, an olive garden just outside Jerusalem. He asked Peter, James and John to stay awake with Him, but they kept nodding off.

On the first Good Friday, Jesus carried His cross through the streets of Jerusalem. Early on Sunday morning, the women who came to His tomb found it empty...

John 3:16 Coloring Pages
John 3:16 might be the best known verse in the whole Bible. You'll spot it on handmade signs at football games and in Sunday school memory work, because it sums up the Christian faith in a single sentence: "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
