Luke 2:40, 52

                  THE HOLY CHILD JESUS

You already know this: God so loved you and me that He sent His Son to save us from our sins. His Son is Jesus, and the name means “Savior” (the One who saves). By the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born as a babe in Bethlehem. The Lord Jesus is Immanuel (God with us).

However, how often do we not realize how much God loves us? He sent His only Son for you and me! God the Father was willing to give up His only Son to suffer, be tormented and ridiculed, and eventually die for us!

What is your most treasured possession on earth? Could be a book or teddy bear or a lovely souvenir. How will you react should you have to part with it and give it to someone who is unkind, or someone who treats you like an enemy? Surely you will protest because you would rather not do it!

However, God gave us the holy child Jesus, even when we were sinners and enemies of God. Reflect on how good a child He was too, and perhaps, let us learn from Him. Dear reader, the Lord Jesus is the perfect example for us to follow. He already died on the cross for your sins. Repent and believe on Him today!

a. Write out the meaning of the words in bold?

Jesus is Immanuel - ____________________

b. Is the Lord Jesus King of your life? YES / NO

Thought: Am I sorry for all the bad things I had done?
Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to love You and to follow your example. There are lots to learn and may I be patient to learn daily, from my Quiet Time and reading of the Bible and this Junior RPG. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
