Story
Say: Have you ever thought about heaven? What do you think heaven is like? (Take answers) Those are great answers. In today’s story Jesus shares a little bit
about heaven.
Read “God’s House” in any story bible, or read John 14:1-14.
Lesson
Say: What is God’s house in heaven like? (Big, room for everyone) Why
was Jesus going to heaven? (To get it ready for everyone) How do we get to
heaven to be with God? (Jesus is the
way!)
Jesus teaches us two things about heaven in this story. The first thing he teaches us is that there
is room for everyone in heaven! That is
great news isn’t it?!
The Second thing that Jesus tells us about heaven is that he is
the only way to get to heaven. What did
Jesus mean by that (take answers).
That’s right! Jesus made a way
for us to get to heaven. Jesus loves us and wants us
to go to Heaven one day. How do we get to Heaven? We have to believe that Jesus
died and came back to life. We must know that Jesus died for the wrongs we have
done. We must tell Jesus we are sorry for our sins and ask Him to forgive us.
Then, we must ask Jesus to come into our heart and help us live for God in all
we do. Jesus promises to stay with us forever and take us to Heaven one day. If
you want to know more about Jesus, talk to us anytime about it.
Big Idea
Jesus is the way to heaven!
We go to heaven when we admit our sin and accept his gift.
Memory
Verse
Jesus said “I am the way, to God.” - John 14:6
