He opened their minds
Children's Activity
Object:
Teachers: On this Sunday we celebrate Jesus' ascension into
heaven. Before Jesus ascended, the Bible states that he told the
disciples many things. It says that he opened their minds to
understanding the scriptures. Use the idea that a key unlocks
doors to understanding. On a sheet of paper, draw a large key.
Inside your key write:
"He opened their minds to understand the scriptures." - Luke 24:45
Use your example to show your students what they are to make. Explain that Jesus opened the minds of his disciples when he taught them. They were very inspired by his teaching. After he ascended to heaven they went to the temple (church). There the Bible says that they were "continually blessing God."
Parents: Your child created a key. On it is a portion of today's scripture. Suggest that your child tape the key to his bedroom door or another important door in your home. This key explains that Jesus taught his disciples many things. The key represents Jesus' opening the minds of his disciples to who Jesus was.
