Lesson 48
just a couple of days ago i wondered if it was worth putting in extra effort to prepare a worksheet to help my sun sch kids develop some note-taking skills and more imptly, listening skills.
i think it's really a privilege that the Lord has granted me, to be able to be the one (out of 5 teachers) delivering the most important lesson of this entire firm foundations programme, and more significantly, the heart of God's letter to each one of us - the Bible. and i believe those of us who are Christians, know that it is the account of Christ's suffering and death on the cross for us and how He paid sin's penalty for us, that m referring to.
at the end of the worksheet, i decided to ask that the kids write down their thoughts and feelings after today's lesson. reading their individual response, i conclude, with much certainty, that the effort put in - every bit of it - for this worksheet, is worth it all. as i read, i recalled how the Lord led me (it wasn't part of my plan at all) to spend some moments asking them to consider whether they truly have Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour. truly, the Lord hears and answers when we cry out to Him for help and show dependence on Him in all that we endeavour. He heard my plea to be able to affect the hearts of these children through today's lesson.
i was touched, grateful to the Lord for how He moved their hearts to respond with such gratitude to what His Son Jesus has done for them on Calvary's tree...amazed and overwhelmed by how their response reflected maturity emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
"I'm not worthy of His sacrifice. He shouldn't have died for me. However, I'm thankful He did so."
"I am thankful that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and I would let Jesus come into my heart and so that I can feel happy."
"I am very thankful, and now I will accept Jesus as my Saviour."
"I feel touched and thankful that Jesus took my place and died on the cross for our sins. I want to spread the gospel to other people so they will be saved just like me."
"I am very grateful to Jesus. In order to show my gratefulness I will learn to forgive people more."
just thought i'd share a few of their responses...may anyone who reads this be encouraged, just as i was! :]
