Instructions
Do you ever happen to be doing something and all of a sudden, you feel hungry? Moreover, you know that in the kitchen there is something good to eat but the kitchen door is closed. What would you do? Do you open the door or you leave it closed?
In John 10: 1-10, Jesus compares himself to the door or gate of the sheep pen. Just as the sheep must pass through the door to enter the pen, we too have to go through Jesus to see God our Father.
- Take a sheep template and write your name on it.
- Then take a door template and on it write Jesus is the door leading me to God.
- Open the door with your hand and pass your sheep through it. As you do, say a short prayer asking Jesus to help you be loving, caring, and to guide you away from doing wrong.
- Stick the door and sheep to a kitchen cupboard to remind you to choose Jesus and love others as He loves us.
