All who are led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons and daughters. 15 You didn’t receive a spirit of slavery to lead you back again into fear, but you received a Spirit that shows you are adopted as his children. With this Spirit, we cry, “ Abba, Father. ” 16 The same Spirit agrees with our spirit, that we are God’s children. 17 But if we are children, we are also heirs. We are God’s heirs and fellow heirs with Christ, if we really suffer with him so that we can also be glorified with him.
As Christians we believe the Bible gives many examples to help people discover who Jesus is. Jesus is the Messiah, the special one sent by God.
Bible Story Reference: Luke 9:18-21, Matthew 16:13-17, Mark 8:27-29 Bible Verse: Who do you say that I am? You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God. (Matthew 16:15-16)
Children will: Â - become familiar with stories that tell about Jesus as God's son; Â - discover the meaning of the word Messiah; Â - recognize that Jesus was not the Messiah people expected; Â - be given the opportunity to explore who Jesus is to them.
