This month as we talk about knowledge, we aren’t just talking about learning more or gathering more information. We are talking about really understanding what’s important to know.This month, let’s think about how:
(1) God created knowledge and exemplifies it.
(2) God instills that virtue in us as He shapes us to be more like Him.
(3) God uses that virtue in us to influence our families, friends, and neighbors.
Remember: A virtue is something God does in us to change the world around us.
As others notice the virtue being lived out in our lives, we have more opportunities to tell them about God. As they come to trust God, they’ll influence others as well. See the cycle?
This week, we’re discovering:
Today, as you talk with the kids about 12-year-old Jesus and how He spent time studying what God said and learning from the temple leaders, show them how we too can know what God says. Reading His Word, listening to others talk about the Bible, and asking questions helps us know God and what matters most in His big story.
We can share our knowledge about what God says with others and they can see how it changes our life for the better—in building a stronger relationship with God and also in making wiser choices and loving others even more. Jesus is our best example, so we’ll learn what happened in His life from 12 years old to 33, in our Memory Verse—Luke 2:52.
