Day 11: Jesus Ministered to Children Light the World

Song: I Saw Three Ships

Scripture: Luke 18:15-17

And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

Advent Gift Idea: A Christmas Bell.

#1 Teach: Jesus loves all of the children and wants them to feel loved and be happy. If he were here today what do you think he would do? I am sure if you listened closely to his words, you would learn and feel of his great love for you. Just as you can hear this Christmas bell ring, you can hear his voice and learn what he did so that you can minister or bless other people like he blessed and loved the children.

#2 Application: Every time you hear a bell ring especially at school, remember that Jesus loves you very much and you can help others like he did by being kind and serving others!

Service Idea: Play the Bell Service Tag Game: Just like Jesus ministered or blessed the children you can be a blessing to your own family. Color, cut and punch a hole to this Christmas tree and attach a small bell with string. Now, go do something nice for someone in your family without them knowing it was you then place the bell and note on the pillow of the person you served! Then that person is “tagged” and will use the bell to serve someone else!
