Welcome to the Woodies Kids blog.
this week we Think About…
Knowing JEsus and the Holy Spirit
Lie down comfortably with eyes closed and use your mind to imagine the story.
Read the following fairly slowly allowing time for the children to respond.
“Imagine that you have been with Jesus as one of his disciples. Imagine that you have seen him die on the cross and now you are scared and going to hide out in another town. You are walking along the road - it feels like a long way! How are you feeling inside?
Imagine that suddenly a stranger comes alongside you and starts asking why you look so sad. What do you tell him?
Now imagine that the stranger starts to explain all sorts of things about Jesus to you. What he’s saying makes lots of sense and your heart feels all funny inside
of you. Imagine that you get to the place where you’re staying and you invite the man in to have some tea with you. Before the meal, the man says thank you to God for the food and suddenly you know that it’s Jesus! How do you know? What does he look like? How does your heart feel now?
Jesus disappears. What do you do? How do you feel inside?”
Give the children some time to think about this and maybe write, draw or talk about what they experience.
