Chapel of the Cross Faith & Family

This interactive Bible time is a great way for your family to gather around God's Word and read, listen, watch, sing, and do activities together that help you learn more about God's great love for you in Jesus.

Jesus came to save and love all sinners, including you and me!

Has anyone ever told you, “You’re too little to do that?” Today, we’re going to hear about a little man who finds out that no one is too little, too big, or too bad for Jesus’ love.

Heavenly Father, thank You for talking to us through Your Word, the Bible. Thank You for loving us so much that You sent Your Son, Jesus, to be our Savior. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

• Open your family Bible or a Children's Bible Storybook and read this account together OR
• Read this account using an online Bible (Biblegateway.com) Luke 19:1-10 OR
• Listen to the Bible account being read using the video below.
  

• What did Jesus do when He saw Zacchaeus? Why do you think He did that?
• What did Zacchaeus say and do after eating with Jesus?
• How does Jesus' love and forgiveness change the things you say and do?

Jesus sought out and called Zacchaeus, and offered him forgiveness and a new life in Him. Zacchaeus's heart was changed, and he immediately made some big changes to his life.

Sometimes, we also feel small and full of sin, like Zacchaeus. Jesus seeks out and calls you too, and offers you His love and forgiveness. You can rejoice, knowing that you are never too small or too sinful for Jesus to love you.

The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost. Luke 19:10

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Dear Jesus, thank You for coming to save lost and sinful people like Zacchaeus and like us. Make us as excited as Zacchaeus to share Your love with others. In Your name we pray. Amen.
