FAMILY PLUS Preschool "Jesus Loves Children" - September 19

Hi Parents and Grandparents!

This has to be my very favorite story in the Bible. It clearly shows how important children are to Jesus. It teaches us that Jesus loves us and we are to love others.

Jesus and the Children Based on Mark 10:13-16
Bible Story Brief -
Everywhere Jesus went people followed Him. They watched Him make sick people well. They listened to Jesus teach about God’s love.
One day some mothers and fathers (parents) brought their children to see Jesus. The mothers and fathers wanted their children to see Jesus and hear His kind words.
Some of Jesus’ helpers saw the mothers, fathers, and children trying to get near Jesus. Jesus’ helpers told the mothers and fathers that Jesus was too busy to see children.
Jesus saw what His helpers were doing. He became angry. Jesus said to His helpers, “Let the children come to Me. Do not send them away.”
Jesus took the children in His arms. He gently put His hands on them and talked to them. Jesus showed His helpers that He loved children.

Christ Focus: Jesus loves children. As Jesus loved, we are to love others.
Life Point: Jesus loves children.
Life Verse: Jesus loved people and helped them. Matthew 14:14

Question: Why was Jesus angry with His disciples?
Question: Why did Jesus think children were special?
Question: What did He tell His disciples about children?

Bringing the story home: Sing the song “Jesus Loves the Little Children” or “Jesus Loves Me” with your preschooler. Remind her/him that Jesus loves her/him and all children.
