Why did Jesus tell these stories? Jesus wants me to know what God is like!
Today we learned the story about Jesus teaching at the temple when He was just a young boy. We’ll be learning about some of the stories Jesus would tell (like the Lost Sheep, and the Prodigal Son.) Jesus would talk to all sorts of people about God because He wants everyone to know what God is like. Our Bible verse this month reminds us of that, “The Son wants to tell others about the Father.” Luke 10:22
At the beginningof our story, Jesus was lost and Mary and Joseph couldn’t find him. To remember this part of the story, we played a hide and seek game that was a lot of fun! We also had fun talking about our dads today. Jesus has a dad just like each of us have a dad. Jesus’ dad is God.
We had fun talking about our dads!
During our talk time, our question was, “What is one thing I know about God?” Our kids shared that God made the grass, God cares for us, God loves me, God is my friend, God is Jesus’ Father, God is BIG, and lots of other fun things they know about God. This month, as we explore the stories that Jesus told, we’ll learn even more about God.
Parents, our challenge for you this week is to talk each night at bedtime about the things you know about God. It might be fun to keep a list and add to each night. At the end of this week, count how many things you listed. God has revealed lots of things about himself to us. It might be fun for you to discover what things your child has already learned about God.
