Unit Bible Lessons
God’s Unfolding Story – (One)
In this study, preschoolers will be introduced to the “big picture” story we find in the Bible. We call this “big picture” story God’s unfolding story. According to the Bible, God created the world, and He made human beings in His own image; but people rebelled against Him. God, therefore, took steps to redeem human beings and bring them back to Himself through His Son, Jesus Christ. One day, He will bring history to a climax and right every wrong. His Son will reign supreme. This is God’s unfolding story, of which all people are a part.

The story of Simeon and Anna will help older preschoolers understand that Jesus is God’s Son by showing that God revealed Jesus’ identity to Simeon and Anna.
