- He knew what Thomas said, v. 25, though He was not there.
** Only one or two points were emphasized in class. This week when discussing with your child pick one or two main points.
Questions and Responses: Below are questions and responses to help your child interact with the Scripture passage, and to solicit a personal response from both of you to the truths of the Bible story. Please allow the Holy Spirit to guide you to further questions and responses.
- If a friend of yours told you that he had a dog that was bigger than your table, would you believe him? Would you think he was joking? what if you went and saw the dog--and it really was bigger than the table! You would have to believe in that dog when you could see it and touch it!
- Thomas did not believe that Jesus had risen from the dead until he saw Him and touched Him. The he couldn't doubt any longer!
- But, have you seen Jesus? Can you touch Him with your hand like you can touch a dog, or a baby?
- Remember the "blinders" we talked about last week? Some people can see and touch Jesus--and still not believe He is God. But if the Holy Spirit has removed your and my blinders, we can "see" Jesus with our spirirts, and believe in Him with our eyes or touch Him with our hands.
- Do you know what it means to confess your sins and to repent? Why did these people need to confess sins and repent? Do you have any sins to confess or anything you need to repent of? (Pray together.)
- Who can save us from our sin? Does being baptized save us? (only Jesus can save us from our sins.)
Discovery Zone 2 will be using He Has Spoken By His Son, a Children Desiring God Curriculum November 2016 - September 2017
