Fundamental Truth: God is Good
Making it Real:
Jesus was teaching people how to love God. Many people wanted to hear Jesus teach and they wanted Jesus to bless them and show that He loved them. Some parents wanted their children to see Jesus. Jesus’ friends said, “Jesus is too busy for the children.” But Jesus said He was not too busy. Why did Jesus have time for children even when He had other things to do?
Jesus loves children. Just like He loves Moms and Dads and doctors and plumbers, He loves children. And He was trying to teach everyone how to love Him like children do. Children love Jesus in a big way, with lots of trust and lots of joy. That’s how Jesus wants us to love Him always, with lots of trust and lots of joy.
Making it Stick:
Have a time of show-and-tell with your child. Have your child go throughout the house and pick a few things he/she loves the most. They can be toys, books, pictures representing family, etc. Have your child share why he/she loves these things the most. Share your own ideas of things you love. Then talk about how much Jesus loves you all. Talk about how Jesus’ love doesn’t end and how it spreads to all of us.
