Children matter to Jesus! Therefore, how should we live?
You need to understand the importance of reaching children. • The Gospel has always been about reaching children as well as adults. • Timothy. • Whole families were baptized into Christ. • Lydia “and her household were baptized” (Acts 16:15). • The jailer took Paul and Silas “the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized” (Acts 16:33). • If we don’t reach the next generation with truth, the world is going to reach them with the devil’s lies.
You need to help with VBS. • There is a host of ways to help. • “This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men” (Titus 3:8).
You need to love children. • Understand that some children who come to VBS may have never set foot in a church building before. • “Love will cover a multitude of sins” (1 Pet 4:8). • Jesus’ blood will also cover a multitude of sins. • Do you need to come and meet His blood?
