  1. Before you read with children………….. Read the text from a bible that is a Revised Standard Version Edition (not only a children’s translation) Do this individually or in a group with an adult learner’s hat. Investigate the text. Read biblical reflections on the text such as the one in the next slide. What does it mean for us today? What questions do you have about the text? If you have questions about definitions of words look up the meaning on: thebibledoctor.com Teachingscripture.com Both these sites are credible and suitable. They have been created with input from MargCarswell. Be careful when sourcing biblical information digitally; much is available on the internet. However, the interpretation given is, at times, is of a fundamentalist nature.

  9. “I promise you that you cannot recognise the Kingdom of God unless you accept it in the way a child does”

Slide Five: I wonder why people thought they needed to bring their children to Jesus? Slide Six: I wonder why the disciples told people to stop bothering Jesus? I wonder if you have ever felt bothered by something before? Slide Seven: I wonder why they all look so happy? When have you felt like these people?

  13. During the story…. Slide Eight: I wonder if the Kingdom of God is a place or a way of thinking and acting? What do you think? I wonder what it means by “people who are like these little children?” Slide Nine: What have you ever discovered that was hidden? I wonder if the Kingdom of God is hidden? Slide Ten: I wonder if anyone in your life reminds you of the way Jesus is on this page? How can you be welcoming like this to someone else? Who have you taken in your arms?
