Questions to Ask Your Child
READ 2 PETER 3:9
How does Jesus show that he is patient with others? (By waiting for them to choose to follow him, even after he came to save them.)
How does knowing that Jesus is patient with people help us be patient with others? (We know that Jesus is patient because he loves other people, we want to follow Jesus perfect example to love and be patient with others.)
Is there someone you know who you have told about Jesus who you are still waiting and being patient with for them to believe in him? Pray for that person.
Who is one person you can share the truth about Jesus with?
Activity
Spend time this week talking with your child(ren) about all the people that they know, family and friends. Take a few minutes to think about if the people in your life know Jesus or not. Make a list with your kid(s) of people who do not know Jesus and who you would like to see come to know Jesus. This week get time together as a family each day to pray for the people on your list!
