Seeing Jesus as he is
Children's Activity
Object:
Teachers or Parents: Our children need to be reminded continually
that Jesus is true God as well as true man. If they are not
reminded of this, they could come to see him only as a nice man
who taught good things and should be honored for that alone.
Jesus is God! The second person in the Divine Trinity became man
and lived among us, but he is God and we must never forget that.
*After you read the gospel account of the transfiguration
event, have the children draw a picture of what they think it
looked like. When they finish, have them show their picture and
talk about it. Ask them to identify the people in their picture.
*If you can obtain a picture of the transfiguration suitable
for coloring (there is usually one in your Sunday school
materials for this Sunday), have the children color it and when
they finish, have them explain why they colored it as they did.
*Ask the children to give you reasons why Jesus is different
than all other men who ever lived. List their responses on the
board or easel. If they don't name it, add the fact that he is
God.
Sunday school assembly opening:
*Sing a hymn from your hymnal that speaks of the
Transfiguration such as, "It's Good, Lord, To Be Here."
