The following lesson was taught in our children’s Sunday School classes on Sunday, December 18. We would encourage you to use the ideas below to review Sunday’s lesson with your family.

The King Is Preserved

Passage:  Matthew 2:13–23

Principle:  God sovereignly protected Jesus from harm.

Praise:  “What Child Is This?”

Prompt:  Ask your child these questions:

  • How did God keep Jesus safe from Herod and other wicked men?

  • By trusting God and relying on His protection and guidance every day.
  • By obeying God’s Word and other authorities without delay or debate.
