Grace Kids
Last week, we were reminded that just like God promised, his people went home to Jerusalem after 70 years in exile. But the city of Jerusalem was in ruins. God used prophets like Zechariah to encourage God’s people and to give them hope while they rebuilt the temple. This week we will learn from Ezra 2-6 and if the temple was completed.
God’s people rebuilt the temple so they would have a place to worship God. Years later, God sent his Son, Jesus, to be with his people. Now, God does not dwell with his people through the temple. Instead, God dwells directly with his people through his Spirit. Jesus provided something better than the temple; he gave us himself.
Please pray for our kids to trust in God, know Jesus as their Savior, and live for him through the power of the Holy Spirit.
