Whom did Anna tell about Jesus? (those who had been waiting on the Lord’s salvation, Luke 2:38)
How would Jesus provide salvation?
Guide kids to think about Jesus’ death on the cross. Remind the kids that the fair payment of sin is death and that Jesus died in our place. He took on the punishment of God’s anger toward sin and died. Then e rose again to prove His sacrifice was enough.
What are ways people might respond to Jesus?
Discuss the reactions of Simeon and Anna, who were excited and happy and told others about Jesus. Then discuss why some people might not believe the good news, or might feel it is too good (or they are too bad) to accept the gospel as true. Point out that some people might think they know Jesus but never have a real relationship with Him.
What other promises has God given us?
Remind kids that God has promised salvation to everyone who trusts in Jesus. He has promised to send Jesus back to fix e erything sin has broken. He has promised to give us new life, joy, and peace through Jesus. Help kids understand that He has not promised an easy life.
