Promises

A Promise of Return

"I will come again and receive you to Myself."
John 14:3

Reflection

Jesus promised to come back and collect. It is not a final goodbye, it is a see you soon we are still going to understand.

Prayer

Jesus, I want to wait for You with joy. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What is it like to wait for someone you love to come home from a trip?
  2. What did Jesus promise before going up to heaven?
  3. What would you like to do while waiting for Jesus?

5-minute activity
