17-Dec-23 (John 1:6-8)

Let's suppose you had some really good news that you wanted to share with other people. What would you do to let them know? [pause for answers]
When God has some good news to tell us about how much God loves each of us and that Jesus was coming to show us that, God sent John the Baptizer. John told the people that it was time to repent (to stop behaving badly and turn to God). He also told him that God was about to send someone amazing to help people understand God.
Did you know we can be like John the Baptizer? We can. We can tell other people about Jesus and about how Jesus helps us understand God and God's love for all of us. Just think. God may be sending you to share God's Good News.
Let's talk to God about that.

God, we thank you for your love and we thank you that you gave us Jesus to help us to know you and to see how much you love us. Help us to share that Good News with others we know.
We pray in Jesus' name.
