Memory Verse: And he died for all that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. - 2 Corinthians 5:15
Here is a song that might help with the memory verse.
We're going to try something different. Some of you have complained because you can't read the lessons, or the questions in the journals. It's still a good idea to work with your parents, or with an older brother or sister, but sometimes parents are very busy and not everyone has an older brother or sister to help them. So I'm going to tell the stories and read the questions. Click on the controls above the text next to the pictures to hear me talk.
Don’t forget to pray. Pray that God would open your heart more and more fully to Himself.
Read or Listen to the story about John the Baptist. Start with Matthew 3:1-6. Ask God to show you a picture in your head about what this was like. Draw a picture of John or the things that he ate. If you don't like to draw, tell in words what you imagine John was like. Do you think he looked like a normal person of the time or was he unusual?

Read or listen to the story of John's preaching to the crowds and baptizing Jesus. You can find it in Matthew 3:11-17. Ask God to show you what the most important thing is for you to notice in the story. Draw a picture or write something about what that is.

God sent John to prepare the way for Jesus. Did you know that God also prepares the way for you? The Bible says in Ephesians 2:10 that we are created by God in Christ Jesus to do good works that God has prepared in advance for us to do. Ask Jesus to show you something today that he has prepared for you to do. Then do it. What did he show you? What did you do?
Looking ahead to next week: Read or listen to the story of Jesus' Temptation in the Wilderness. You can find it in Matthew 4:1-11. Ask God to show you a picture in you mind of what this was like. Draw it here or write some of the things that you notice about this story.
