Growing in Truth – For KidsSample

Read John 18:37

Think

Did you know that Jesus was accused and had to go on trial for claiming to be a “King?” Pilate was a Roman governor who had the power to sentence Jesus to death at this trial if Jesus was found guilty. 

During His trial, instead of begging for Pilate to save His life, Jesus spoke truth and calmly shared His purpose for coming to the world. Pilate quickly realized that Jesus was innocent even though Pilate did not fully understand that Jesus’s destiny was to be an eternal heavenly king, not just an earthly one.

Talk

Ask yourself: What do you think you will be like when you are grown up?

Ask a grownup: When did you discover that your life had a bigger purpose?

Discuss together: Why is it important to understand who you are and who you are becoming in Christ?
