Lesson Description

To become a Christian, Paul had to surrender to Christ, as must everyone. He had to decide if the voice he heard on the Damascus Road was real and if this Christ was worth pursuing. He decided Christ was worth pursuing, and he followed after Him with abandon. Paul soon discovered that the people who once supported him now were opposing him; but thankfully, those whom he once sought to persecute were now beginning to realize he’d changed sides and needed their help. Jewish leaders sought to kill him, but Paul found out  about their plans. One night, quietly and secretly, some of the men who had begun to follow Paul’s teachings “lowered him in a large basket through an opening in the [city] wall” (Acts 9:25). God was keeping Paul safe and preparing him to be used in an even greater way to spread the good news about Jesus around the world. This Paul Escaped in a Basket Bible lesson for older preschoolers is about Paul’s dramatic escape and teaches that Jesus gives me strength to do what He asks me to do.
