Children’s Message March 5th, 2023

This is the season of Lent…… the time we get ready to celebrate the mystery of Easter …….. the time we are all on the road to Jerusalem. But who will show us the way? ……. Jesus shows us the way.
Once every year the people of God go up to Jerusalem, the holy city of God, to celebrate the feast of the Passover, to remember how God led them through the waters to freedom. This year as Jesus traveled to Jerusalem…… crowds of people came to be close to him. They came to hear him teach. The little children wanted to come to a Jesus too. Jesus disciples did not….. they said , “No! Don’t bother Jesus.
But Jesus said,” Let the little children come to me. Do not stop them, for to such belongs the Kingdom of God.”
I wonder how the children felt on the way to see Jesus?……….
I wonder what the children said to Jesus?…………..
I wonder what Jesus said to the children?………….
I wonder what it is like to be close to Jesus?…………..
