Point Kids to Jesus!
Trevin Wax and I serve as editors for The Gospel Project. This Christ-centered Bible study resource presents the gospel story of redemption through every major Bible event. Our desire is that kids not only know all the Bible stories, but know the Bible story. We pray that kids would not see Jesus as part of the Bible story, but as the point of the Bible story.
We heard this story from a pastor in Oklahoma:
One night we were going over the story of Passover. It was such a natural transition to a gospel presentation that I was vibrating with excitement—they were going to hear a clear presentation of the grace of God in Jesus Christ! That night three kids gave their life to Jesus. The next week two more gave their lives to Jesus. The week after, those kids were bringing others to hear the gospel, and those kids were turning over their lives too.
No matter how you do it, or what material you use (unashamedly, I want you to use The Gospel Project), clearly and consistently communicate the gospel for kids. Make sure you have an intentional plan to disciple your little ones. As a parent, teacher, or pastor, this is your most important task.
