Submission
Children's Activity
Teachers or Parents: The Passion history gives us a chance to
instill in our children an understanding of the obedience of
Jesus which has resulted in our salvation. Because of his
submission to the Father's will, all of us have been saved. By
the same token, children need to be in submission to their own
parents and others whom God places in authority over them.
*Put the Ten Commandments up on a board or easel. Explain to
the children that these are God's rules for us and we need to be
in submission to them. Pick two or three for discussion,
including the third so that you can talk about obedience to
parents. Talk about the submission of Jesus to the Father's will.
*Play a game with the children by telling them that a great
treasure is hidden in the room. Tell them that they can find the
treasure if they follow directions. With younger children, give
oral instructions to help them find the treasure. With older
children, you can hand out written instructions. The treasure you
hide will be a Bible with a bookmark at John 3:16. Read the verse
and explain what a wonderful treasure we all have as a result of
the obedience of Jesus.
Sunday school assembly opening:
*Sing a hymn that stresses obedience and submission, such as
"Let Us Ever Walk With Jesus" or "May We Your Precepts, Lord,
Fulfill."
