KEY PASSAGE MOTIONS

Say the key passage using motions. Repeat several times and encourage children for trying. “He (point up) must become greater, (hold arms upward in a V) but I (point thumbs to chest) must become less (crouch down)” John 3:30 (open hands like a book).

REVIEW

Ask the following questions. Retell parts of the Bible story as needed.

Who is the Savior? John or Jesus? (Jesus)

Who sent Jesus to earth? (God sent Jesus to earth.)

Who told people to follow Jesus? (John told people to follow Jesus.)

SAY • When John’s disciples told him that Jesus was baptizing people, he didn’t get jealous. He was happy! He knew that Jesus is most important. God did not send John to save us —God sent Jesus to do that! Jesus had come and John’s job was finished. John was happy to step aside and point other people to Jesus, the Savior.

PRAY

Invite your child to share any prayer requests they have.

SAY • Jesus, you are the best! You are the greatest of all! You lived a perfect life. You took the punishment for our sin. You came back to life, showing you are more powerful than anything. When we trust in you, our sin is forgiven, and we will be with God forever. Help us point others to you like John did. Amen.
