Bible Verse Activities for Kids-Matthew 4:19 and 5:14
As a kid, I always loved those little 2″ x 3″ cards you could get at the local Christian bookstore that had the meaning of my name on them. Over the years, I collected quite a few of them. I would place them around my room, stick one with magnets up on a cabinet, or put them just about anywhere. And I couldn’t have been the only kid fascinated with my name and what it meant, because “Bonnie” certainly wasn’t the only name all those little cards came in!
Let’s put kids’ interest in all things related to names to work in discipling them by showing them some of the names Jesus gave us. He said if we follow Him, He makes us “fishers of me” and “the light of the world.” Let’s help them see how He wants to use us to draw others to Himself and bring everyone we know into His family. Help them see how important the job of a fisherman is and how living is so much harder without light. Let’s help them see who they are in Christ and why that means more than any earthly name we could ever have.
