God's Love

Jesus Came Because of Love

"The Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
Luke 19:10

Reflection

Jesus did not come because we were doing well. He came because we needed Him. That is the whole reason for Christmas and Easter both.

Prayer

Jesus, thank You for coming for me. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Why did Jesus come?
  2. What does it mean to be lost?
  3. How does it feel to know Jesus came looking for you?

5-minute activity

Play hide-and-seek, then talk about how good it feels to be found. Connect it to Jesus, who came to find and save. Read Luke 19:1-10, the story of Zacchaeus.
