Questions to Ask Your Child
Read 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 – What does God say will happen to the believers when He returns? (The believers who have died will rise from their graves; the ones who are still alive will go up to heaven) How long will the believers live with God? (Forever!)
How do these verses make you feel about the future?
Read Revelation 21:1-4 – What do you think it will be like when Jesus returns?
Reread Revelation 21:4 – Which of the promises (No more death, sorrow, crying, pain) listed in this verse are you most excited about?
Activity
The Future era reminds us that, while many things to come may be confusing to us right now, we can know one thing for sure: Jesus is coming back! Pray with your child(ren) and spend time thanking God that nothing is confusing to Him, and that He is giving you time on earth right now to hear the good news about Jesus dying for your sins.
