WEEK FOUR

READ John 3:16 DAY 1

You are walking through a field, and you find something to eat. It doesnt have bones, and it doesnt have meat. You pick it up and put it into your pocket. You take it home and put it on a shelf, but 3 days later it walks away. What is it? Could you figure it out? (The answer is below.) Riddles often seem so hard, but when we find out the answer, we wonder why we didnt think of that! Isnt it great that the words that come before have eternal life are anyone who believes in Him? God has made it so easy on us, but we so often make it hard! We make checklists of the things we have to do to get to heaven, and we work hard to make sure others are doing the same thing. But Jesus has done the workwe just have to believe!

READ John 14:6

Some people dont believe Jesus is who He said He was. Look at the list of words below. Cross through the descriptions that some people give Jesus but that dont line up with what He said about Himself. (Note: they may not be bad things; theyre just not ALL that Jesus was!) Circle the words that you think (or know) Jesus used to talk about Himself. A GOOD TEACHER TRUTH PROPHET LIFE SAVIOR LIAR LIGHT OF THE WORLD CRAZY WAY SON OF GOD Thankfully, Jesus was more than a prophet, more than a good teacher, and He wasnt crazy! When we believe who Jesus isthe Son of God who died for our sinswe can live with God forever.

ASK God to remind you who He is through what He does for you.

LOOK for ways to share Jesus with others. READ John 14:1-3
What do you think heaven looks like? Draw a picture of how you imagine it. No matter how great an artist you are, or how vivid your imagination, it cant come close to what heaven looks like!
Answers: Read the Bible, worship, serve, share Jesus, pray for others, church. Believe in Jesus.

DAY 4

God loved us so much that He gave us Jesus to die for our sins, and when we believe that, we can receive eternal life. That means we can live in heaven with God forever! If you are ready to follow Jesus, now is a great time to talk to a parent or another adult who also believes in Jesus. Tell them what youve learned this month about Jesus, and that you are ready to follow Him with your whole life and into heaven one day! If you have already made that decision, take some time to thank God for His amazing gift.

KNOW that God wants you to live with Him forever.
