Jelly Bean Gospel:
In the beginning was God (white jelly bean). God created everything, including Adam & Eve. Adam & Eve disobeyed God, & brought sin into the world (black jelly bean). Sin separates & keeps us away from God. But God loves us so much that He wanted us back. He sent Jesus to live & die for us (red jelly bean). Jesus was crucified, buried in a tomb, & everyone thought that was the end of the story. But on Easter Sunday morning (yellow jelly bean), Jesus rose from the dead. He was alive again (green jelly bean)! Jesus died for us so that we could have our sins forgiven & be a part of God's family (purple jelly bean). We can be happy (pink jelly bean) because of what Jesus did for us. "Orange" you glad that Jesus loves you!

Jelly beans are a type of confectionery that comes in many different (primarily fruit) flavors. They are small (the size of a red kidney bean or smaller) and generally have a hard candy shell and gummy interior. The confection is primarily made of sugar.`
History
The gummy interior of the jelly bean may trace its origins back hundreds of years to a candy called Turkish Delight, while the outside shell is essentially the same as that developed in the late 17th century for Jordan Almond candies[citation needed]. The earliest known appearance of the modern jelly bean was during the American Civil War when William Schrafft of Boston promoted sending the candy to soldiers in the Union Army.[1] It was not until 1930 or so that jelly beans became an Easter candy, presumably from their resemblance to Easter eggs[2]. Their egg-like shape was then associated with the Easter Bunny, who gave out eggs on Easter.
