AFTER EASTER EVENTS The Helper Comes

The disciples waited in Jerusalem for God to keep His promise of sending the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit came to all the believers. Today, your child will learn that He comes now to those who believe. He cannot be seen, but His work in our life can: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Memory verse: John 14:26. _____________

THE LESSON

April 29

th

Joel Combs

A man sat in the heat of the day under a walnut tree looking at a pumpkin vine. He began to muse, How foolish God is! Here He puts a great heavy pumpkin on a tiny vine without strength to do anything but lie on the ground. He puts tiny walnuts on a tree whose branches could hold the weight of a man. If I were God, I could do better than that! Suddenly a breeze knocked a walnut from the tree. It fell on the mans head. He rubbed the bump, a sadder and wiser man. He remarked: Suppose there had been a pumpkin up there instead of a walnut! Never again will I try to plan the world for God. I shall thank Him that He has done it so well!
