Ezek. 37:4-10)
What was God’s message to His people? (God would bring them back to life and fill them with His Spirit, Ezek. 37:13-14)
When did this prophecy come true? Guide kids to think about the two different fulfillments of this prophecy. God did bring His people back to their land as He promised. Also, God sent Jesus to die for sin and rise again to give life to believers.
What is our ultimate hope? Guide kids to think about our hope for the future. We know God is faithful, and He has promised to send Jesus back to earth. At that time, all of the damage sin has caused will be undone. We will be completely free from sin in every way. No matter how bad things may seem, we know that Jesus is victorious over sin.
When does our life with God start? Direct kids to see that our new life with God starts right away. When we trust in Jesus, God forgives our sin and makes us new. The Holy Spirit comes to live in us and begin healing the damage sin causes. We gain God’s power to love Him, obey Him, and share the gospel.
