We are up to the number 3. This Story is from Matthew 17:1-13. (We have already thought about Jonah and One Big Fish and Noah and Two of Every Animal.) This week’s Bible Truth for Toddler’s is, ‘We can listen to Jesus.’ To tell the story you could have three people to take out of a storybag – say hello to them and count them too.
Meet three of Jesus’ disciples (friends) – Peter, James and John. They knew each other really well.
One day they went for a walk up a mountain – up, up, up they went. No one else was at the top. Just the three of them.
And then something extraordinary happened. Jesus began to shine really brightly.
Peter and James and John looked at Jesus. Something very special was happening. Although Jesus was a man just like them, he was also the Son of God. They were seeing a little bit of his glory. They were seeing just how special Jesus is.
And then they were surrounded by a bright cloud. Not an ordinary cloud – but one that was shining. And they heard God’s voice say, ‘This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him.’
And then it was over – and they walked back down the mountain.
Jesus really is God’s Son and we can listen to him today by reading God’s Special Book – the Bible.
We made shiny pictures – using various types of paper and celophane. Wrapping paper is really good for this. We also had a colouring sheet with the three disciples/friends of Jesus. This is a free download.
