John Baptized People (K); John Taught About Jesus (P)

God sent John to foretell the coming of Jesus, the Messiah. Prophets in the Old Testament told that the forerunner would come. This session will help kids understand that John told about Jesus, God’s Son, and some people believed. Jesus came to be baptized by John. This session we can help kids understand the presence of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ baptism. We can emphasize that the Old Testament told that John and Jesus would come and they did. The entire Bible tells people about God’s salvation plan and people hear and respond to the Bible message with guidance of the Holy Spirit.
