Main Points of the Lesson
(Teacher should concentrate on one or two truths in this lesson so that children steadily come to know more about God)
- Jesus wanted us to know that He is the Way to the Father. Only through Jesus we can get to heaven.
- Jesus talked about following His way. This was like going through a narrow gate to a much harder road with fewer people on it. Jesus is always with us if we follow His way which leads to Heaven. This is the road of Everlasting Life which begins when we commit ourselves to Him.
- We can trust Jesus with every part of our lives both now and in the future.
- Jesus wants us to be with Him. He is preparing a place and promises to take us there to live with Him forever.
