John 1:6-8
From the time I was eight until I was about twelve my dream job was to be a mailman. I thought it would be so fun to deliver people’s mail and get to know them by saying hello everyday. I planned on walking the same route and chatting with each person as I delivered their mail. When I got a bit older I realized that mailmen and women don’t usually see or talk to the people they deliver their mail to and I changed my mind. However, I still think it’d be fun to be a mailman at Christmas time because you would deliver so many letters and presents to lots of people.
These verses talk about a messenger named John. A messenger in Bible times was kind of like a mailman. A messenger would deliver messages between people because there were no phones or computers. But John was a special messenger, he was a messenger for Jesus. He came before Jesus and told people to get ready for Jesus by saying sorry for the wrong things they had done. The Bible tells us that we are also messengers for Jesus today just like John.
Activity: Practice sending a message to someone by writing a letter to a family member that is far away or who you don’t see often.
