AS YOU READ CHAPTER 25 This week we read Chapter 25 of The Story and learn how much Jesus loved the little children around him! 1. In this chapter we see Jesus getting mad that the disciples turned the children away from seeing them. Jesus said Let the little children come to me. How does that make you feel? Prayer: God, we thank you for loving us as children. We know we are special to you and even though we arent adults you love us more than anything. Thank you! Amen. 2. Do you think Jesus understands what its like to be a child? Why? Prayer: God, we thank you that you know what its like to be in our shoes that you were once a child of parents who had rules and responsibilities you had to complete. We pray we are reminded of that every day. Amen!
3. Whats your favorite story about Jesus so far? Prayer: God, we praise you for teaching us lessons about your life through these stories. We pray you help us to see that we are made in your image and you know what we are going through in our life. Amen! 4. Jesus says, Anyone who will not receive Gods kingdom like a little child will never enter it. What do you think that means? Prayer: God, thank you for our constant love for you. We pray we are a vision of what adults act like and how they should love you with an unconditional love. Amen! 5. What part do you best like about Jesus? Prayer: God, thank you for creating us in your image. We pray you help us to learn in these stories how you are very much like us and had to live a human life on this earth, just like us! Amen!
