So here's the question we will ask your kids on Sunday..."Why should I tell about Jesus?" If your child asked you that question, how would you respond? There are many reasons and answers that can be given, but at a basic level how would you answer that? What life examples would you give your child to back your answer up?
The truth is we all need to remember the basics of our faith. In fact, we need to remember them daily. That's why Christ says, "And he said to all, 'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.'" This is a verse that I have wrestled with lately as a parent. In order to keep Christ central to our family's life, I need to be reminded daily of the reason Christ was sent to the world...to heal our broken relationships (with God, each other, and our family). This is why I would share Christ with my boys. Because they need to know life is broken with out Him.
The details for this week:
Scripture: Matthew 3:13-17; John 1:19-37
Memory Verse: If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth." 1 John 1:8
