This week's lesson comes from Matthew 3 and Mark 1. John the Baptist was sent to prepare the people for Jesus's coming. He was preaching repentance to the people, and many were baptized by him as a way of confessing their sins. Jesus came to John one day and wanted to be baptized, but at first John would not do it. John knew he was not worthy to baptize Jesus, and Jesus had no sin. Jesus told him that it needed to be done "to fulfill all righteousness". When Jesus came up out of the water, the heavens opened up and the Spirit descended on Him like a dove, and God spoke, saying "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased." Jesus perfectly fulfilled all that was required of Him so that we could be reconciled to God. Our only hope for salvation comes through Jesus Christ!

What is one thing you will do this week to help your family grow closer to God?

Jesus Was Baptized

Jesus never sinned, but He obeyed God and was baptized like sinners are baptized. Baptism reminds us of Jesus’ death and resurrection. It reminds us that when we trust in Jesus, we turn from sin and start a new life—a life lived for Jesus.

FAMILY DISCUSSION PROMPTS


DRIVE TIME DISCUSSIONS

Take time to think about the symbolism of baptism and the story it tells about Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Thank Jesus for living a perfect life to be our righteousness. Thank Him for dying on the cross the be our substitute. Thank Him for rising again to show us that we too can have eternal life in Him.


MEAL TIME CONVERSATION STARTERS

How is baptism a way of publicly declaring our faith in Jesus? How can our words and actions declare our faith and point others to Jesus? Ask God to show you ways you can publicly share your faith with others.

FAMILY ACTIVITIES


FOR FUN

Host a party or dinner for those who have been recently baptized in your church. Make time for the individuals to share their testimonies. Invite kids or adults who are wanting to be baptized to also attend. Take time to talk with them about what is means to believe in Jesus, the symbolism of baptism, and answer questions about how they can be baptized at your church.


TO SERVE

If your church has a regular baptism service, volunteer as a family to help with the service. Take pictures, provide towels, or pray with those being baptized before the service. Remind kids of the symbolism in baptism that reminds us of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
