Lesson Main Idea:

It is only though and thanks to Jesus that we can enter the Kingdom of God. The only one that can prevent us from going to
Heaven is ourselves. God wants us to spend eternity with Him and that’s why He sent Jesus to sacrifice Himself for our sins.
Satan can only tempt us to sin and turn away from God.

QUESTION: Which Bible verse tells us that the only way to Heaven is through Jesus?
What you need:
A3 pages of posters, I used the middle pages of a book. Glue and scissors. And a Bible

Instructions:
Cut out ‘The Great I Am’ and paste it in the middle of your A3 page/poster. And then cut out all the other pictures and paste it
around it. Cut out all the Bible verses too.

Find each verse in the Bible and read it, identify the corresponding picture and then paste the Bible verse by it. (We couldn’t do
this because time was limited because there weren’t scissors and glue for everyone, but everyone worked well together taking
turns and accommodating each other.)

Discuss what each Bible verse means:

1. BREAD OF LIFE – John 6:35

2. LIGHT OF THE WORLD – John 8:12

3. THE GATE FOR HIS SHEEP – John 10:7

4. THE GOOD SHEPHERD – John 10:11

5. THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE – John 11:25

6. THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE – John 14:6

7. THE TRUE VINE – John 15:1

ANSWER: JOHN 14:6

Supposed to end in prayer:
Giving each child an opportunity to pray, to thank God or ask Him for anything.
