Only Jesus
Children's sermon
Object:
three envelopes with "Jesus" printed on one and two other
names on the others
Good morning! Let me ask you a very important question. How
many people in this world who are living right now will go to
Heaven? (Let them answer.) Well, of course you don't know that
and neither do I. Only God knows that, but we do know that
everyone who believes in Jesus as his/her Savior will go to
Heaven. Jesus has told us that he is the "way" to Heaven. He told
us that nobody will get to Heaven unless they go through him.
This means that all those people in the world who believe in some
other way to get to Heaven are going to be disappointed. They
aren't going to get there!
Let me see if I can show you what that means. Let's say that
these three envelopes each have tickets inside. You see that this
envelope is the one from Jesus and it has his name on it. Inside
this envelope is a ticket to get into Heaven. Notice that the
other two envelopes have different names on them. Will there be a
ticket to Heaven inside these envelopes? (Let them answer.) No!
There won't be! Jesus says that he is the ticket to Heaven and
there is no other way! Which of these envelopes would you take?
(Let them answer.) Of course you will take the one that has the
promise of Jesus, the one with his name on it. He is the way to
Heaven and nobody can get there unless they go through him.
Let's thank our God for giving us Jesus who is the way, the
truth, and the life.
Dear Father in Heaven: We thank You so much for giving us Jesus
and making us know that he is the only way to You. We want very
much to be with You in Heaven, and we will always remember that
we must come to You through Your Son, Jesus, our Lord and Savior.
Amen.
