KEY PASSAGE MOTIONS
Say the key passage using motions. Repeat several times and encourage children for trying. “For God (point up) so loved (cross arms over chest) the world that he gave (hold hands out in front) his one and only Son (hold up one finger), that whoever believes in him (display arms outward) shall not perish (shake head) but have eternal life (clasp hands together).” John 3:16
REVIEW
Show preschoolers a Bible, and retell or reread the story, if needed. You can ask the following questions:
What town did Jesus travel to? (Nazareth)
How did the people in Nazareth feel when they heard Jesus talking? (they were angry)
Who did Jesus say He was? (the Messiah, the Savior)
Who did Jesus come to save? (everyone)
SAY • Jesus was the Messiah God sent to the world, but the people in Nazareth thought Jesus was just a boy from their town. They did not understand that Jesus was God’s Son, the Savior of the world. Long before Jesus was born, God planned to send a Savior to earth. Jesus is the One God promised to send. Jesus would bring good news and help people who were hurting.
PRAY
Invite your child to share anything they are thankful for or worried about. You can share something you are thankful for to guide them.
SAY • God, thank you for Your great plan. Thank you for loving us so much that you sent your son Jesus. Thank you for your Word that tells us what is true. We know that Jesus helps people who are hurting and gives life forever ever and ever to all who believe in Him. We love You and thank You for Jesus. Amen.
