Jesus Shared His Love (Four Lessons)
Certainly, one of the most important things we could ever help a child understand is that Jesus loves him or her unconditionally. Many of the children you teach are facing difficult family circumstances that may cause them to wonder if anyone loves them at all. But all children, regardless of their home situations, need to hear that Jesus loves them. Some of your children may feel they are unlovable. Some need to hear the value of loving our friends. Some need to feel the physical touch of Jesus through your hands. All of them need to see what it means to serve others with love. The lessons in this Jesus Shared His Love unit will give your children a healthy and satisfying picture of Jesus’ love for all people. Lessons in this unit are listed below.
