We’re Learning… I can love like Jesus.
Bible Story: A Short Man (Zacchaeus) ● Luke 19:1-10

As a family, read “A Short Man (Zacchaeus)” in Luke 19:1-10 from a children’s Bible. (CLICK HERE for children’s Bible recommendations.)

After reading the Bible story, complete the activity together:

Continue the activity for as long as your toddler is interested.
After the activity, say, “Great job singing! Who can love like Jesus?” and encourage your toddler to say, “I can love like Jesus!”
Then lead your toddler in prayer:
“Dear Jesus, thank You for loving us! Please help us love others the way You do. We love You. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

In addition to reading stories from the Bible each Sunday, we also read a book together that reinforces what we’re learning. This month, we’re reading “If Jesus Lived Inside My Heart.” If you’re looking for a faith-based book to add to your child’s library at home, you can learn more about this month’s book HERE!
