Ephesians 3:1–13
“By God’s special gift of grace, I became a servant to tell that Good News. God gave me that grace through his power.” (Ephesians 3:7, ICB)
- What is Paul’s special job? (Telling non-Jews the good news about Jesus.)
- What is the “Good News” Paul is telling everyone? (That through Jesus, anyone can become a child of God.)
- When Paul mentions the “Church,” is he talking about a building? (No, he’s talking about all the people who follow Jesus.)
- And what special job does the Church get to do now? (We get to tell the whole world about God’s big plan!)
- We don’t just tell people about God’s love, we also show them. Can you think of ways to show the world what God’s love looks like?
SO WHAT?
For toddlers: Hug your toddler and tell them, “You are my child!” Then practice saying together, “We are God’s children!”
For grade schoolers: Do an art project together. Create a newspaper with the “Good News” as the front-page headline. Discuss how God means for the gospel to spread to the whole world.
For you: Who in your life needs to hear the Good News about Jesus? Pray for an opportunity, then share the gospel.
