SUNDAY APRIL 5TH
Discuss these questions together as a family: What problem was Joel trying to solve? What was the answer to the problem? What are some of the ways Joel tried to solve the problem? Whose example did Joel finally learn from? What can we learn from Jesus’ example of serving others? As a family, read John 12:12-13:5. The story said that the people were shouting ‘Hosanna’ as Jesus came into town. Let’s see if we can find the word ‘Hosanna’ in your Bible. It should be in John 12:13. (Invite children to put their finger on the word “Hosanna” when they find it and ask a volunteer to read the verse). The word Hosanna actually means ‘save now,’ so if your Bible doesn’t use the word Hosanna, it probably uses a different word that means save now or even praise God because the people were excited and praising God that their Savior had come, even though they didn’t know exactly what that meant yet. In John 13, just a few days later, we see that Jesus loved His disciples. He showed them just how much He loved them by serving them. How can you follow Jesus’s example and serve others?
PRE-K Use the bible story picture to engage your child as you tell them the story of Jesus in Jerusalem.
BIBLE STORY NUGGETS Focus in on these Bible Story Nuggets as you are telling the story: People shouted, “Hosanna!” Jesus went to a house to eat supper with His friends. BIBLE STORY QUESTIONS What did the people say when they saw Jesus? What did Jesus do for His friends? What did Jesus want His friends to know about Him? |
