My First Look – March 2010
Jesus loves everyone. He loves me and you and the mailman and the person at the grocery store. He loves everyone! Isn’t that the greatest news? This month we will share stories with preschoolers that show how Jesus loved while He was here on earth. Jesus took time to talk to the woman at the well who had no friends, and He loved her. He chose to spend time with those considered not worthy of His love like Zacchaeus. Jesus loved everyone. Then, Jesus asked us to spread this love. He asked us to tell others that He loves everyone. The Bible says in John 15:12, “Love each other as I have loved you,” (NIV). Jesus is our very best friend. We can share His love with others by being good friends to them.
We end this month with Palm Sunday. Easter comes early this year–get ready! Palm Sunday we will celebrate Jesus and His love for us. How amazing it is that Jesus came for us, for each and every one of us. He came to love us and show us how to love. He came to be the ultimate sacrifice. He loved us so much He was willing to die for us. What an awesome truth.
To hear the writers give you the “Why” behind the curriculum, go to the First Look website and play the vision video for this month. Your team can watch the video together or the link can be forwarded to your volunteers. You can also purchase a download of the video for your church’s use at the reThink Store.
Our team will be praying for you to have moments filled with wonder as you give preschoolers a “first look” at the God who loves them, made them, and wants to be their friend forever.
