Jesus Answers John the Baptist (Matthew 11:2-11) Printable Bible Lesson & Sunday School Activities

How do we know that something is true? How can we be certain of our faith or verify things we hear? In the world of scientific predictions or human promises, we want to see evidence that things come true. If we look at our faith, we want something to assure us that we are trusting in what is true, too. This children's Bible lesson seeks to remind children that our trust in God is reliable and strong, because He keeps His promises. Jesus is the proof that God’s covenants are fulfilled, and we have hope for our present and future!

If our salvation hangs on the validity of Christ as the Son of God, we want to be certain that we are placing our faith in a genuine Messiah. We can be confident that Jesus is who He says He is. He fulfilled prophecies while on Earth and demonstrated His Lordship through word and deed. We know that He died and rose again, and because of that we have the hope that God keeps His promises and always will!
