He Carried It All
"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities."Isaiah 53:5
Reflection
This verse was written hundreds of years before Jesus was born. God already had a plan of love ready, long before we needed it.
Prayer
Father, thank You for thinking of me before I was born. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- When was this verse written?
- What did Jesus carry for us?
- How does it feel that God had a plan of love so long ago?
5-minute activity
Put a few heavy items in a bag. The child tries to carry it, then a grown-up takes the whole bag. Talk about Jesus carrying what we could not. Read Isaiah 53:4-6.
