Pictures To Show You
Children's sermon
Object:
Photograph or picture on your phone with you in it at some place
Isn't it fun to share pictures with each other, particularly if you have just visited a new place and then come back home to tell your fiends all about it. They believe that you went to that place because of the stories they hear and the pictures they see.
As Jesus was having a conversation, He got frustrated that the people did not believe his stories. It says in John 3:11,
"Very truly I tell you we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony."
How would you feel if after telling all about your trip, people questioned and doubted you.
Jesus had so much more he wanted to tell the people about heavenly things but they missed out on it as they were so stubborn and doubtful. It say in John 3:12,
"I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe, how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?"
Many times people miss out on the greater things of God because their hearts are so hard and unwilling to believe.
How do we apply this to our lives?
Are you eager to learn about Jesus and all the miracles he did? We are blessed to have the Bible to give us a "picture" of it all. But there is even more that Jesus would like us to understand but do we have open hearts and time to believe? He's been in heaven and is so excited to tell us all about it. Keep reading the Bible to the end and you will see He has so many great pictures to show us that we may miss out on them if we aren't careful.
