MERCY & GRACE Please God

SCRIPTURE: MATTHEW 9: 10 - 13

 

We are to remember that we are SINNERS SAVED by GRACE. Hence, we should not continue in our OLD ways BUT CHOOSE to CHANGE for Jesus. Christians have been 'spiritually sick' before accepting Christ as Savior; we are made RIGHTEOUS through JESUS.

 

LESSON POINT: (Observation) SAVED by GRACE

Jesus has come to offer SALVATION to all who Accept Him for Who He is. It is NOT by WHAT we do or WHO we are but our humbleness in acknowledging we need Jesus to enter into Eternal life.

 

TRUTH: (Application) ~ Children should be shared the GOOD NEWS of salvation to ensure their place in God's kingdom. 

Check if EVERY CHILD in your class has already accepted Christ as Saviour; if not, share the gospel or help those who have had, share with those who have not.

For those who are in God's kingdom, teach about remaining HUMBLE and RIGHTEOUS before God.

 

BIBLE VERSE: Matthew 9:11-13

 

Those who think they are 'well' without Jesus are really in darkness. Jesus is the Light. Jesus is MERCIFUL to those who acknowledge their sins and will forgive when we confess with a humble heart. (1 John 1:9)

 

ACTIVITY:

 

Give each child a piece of paper and write down their bad habits; encourage them to confess their sins and ask Jesus for His mercy to set them free to be righteous.

 

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, THANK YOU for Your MERCY that allows me to be your child. Teach me daily to be humble and cleansed to be righteous for Your glory. Amen.
