Where was Jesus?

	Use a wet erase marker to draw a square around the lands of the Bible.
	Tape up a map of the Bible lands and explain that this map is an enlargement of the square you drew on the world map. We use a laminated map from Rose Publishing titled "Where Jesus Walked."

	Ask the questions below and let the student that answers correctly mark the location on the map.
	If the students do not know the answer, do a Bible drill. Give the students the Bible reference. First one to find the verse reads the passage and marks the location on the map.
