I Spy Jesus: An Interactive Devotional for PreschoolersSample

I Can Tell Others About Jesus

Do you remember Jesus’s friend Peter? Peter was a fisherman. That means he would get in a boat, go out on the water, and catch fish. 

But Peter didn’t just fish. He told his friends and neighbors about Jesus. He told them that Jesus is God’s Son, Jesus loves you, and Jesus wants to be your friend forever. 

One day, some people knocked on Peter’s door. They asked Peter to come tell all of their friends about Jesus. 

Peter knew that Jesus loves everyone, no matter what they look like, what language they speak, where they live, or what they have done. So Peter said yes, he would go tell all those people about Jesus, even though they were different from him.

Peter told the people about the amazing things Jesus did that only He could do. Peter told them how Jesus had died and come back to life, just like He said He would. Peter told them he knew Jesus was alive, because he’d seen Jesus and talked with Him; he’d even eaten breakfast with Jesus! Peter said, “Jesus is God’s Son, He loves you, and He wants to be your friend forever.”

When the people heard these things, they believed it. They believed all the good things they heard about Jesus. Do you think they were happy to hear the good news? (Pause for your child’s answer.) 

What’s some good news you’ve heard about Jesus? (Pause.) Let’s practice telling others some good news about Jesus: “Jesus loves you.” Can you say that with me? (Repeat it with your child.) Can you say it in a deep voice? (Model a deep tone of voice.) How about a high voice? Can you roar it like a lion? Can you whisper it in a little mouse voice?

Yes, everyone needs to know Jesus loves them! 

Let’s close our eyes and talk to God together.

Dear God, thank You that Jesus loves everyone, everywhere, no matter what they look like, where they live, what language they speak, or what they have done. Help us tell everyone, everywhere that Jesus loves them and wants to be their friend forever. Amen.
