Today we are discussing the temptation of Jesus in Bible Study. Since I have the young kids, I am not sure how brave I will be: one of the lesson plans that I have suggests to put a tray of food together: chocolates/candies in the middle with fruit on the outside. Tell the students that they can only take a piece of fruit: no chocolate. Then, I turn my back for a few minutes, and see what happens.This would then lead into talking about temptation and what it is, which would lead into talking about how Jesus responded to temptation.
The English Children's Bible and our library of CPH books both do not include the temptation of Jesus, but the Chinese Children's Bible that I have does. I will try to record a friend reading it so that I can play it for the kids to hear. And I can pretend that I am reading ;) Sorry, the photo is turned sideways.
The basic idea is to get across that Jesus is true God, but also true man, and he was tempted to sin just like we are. The difference is that He always chose to not succumb to sin. He gave us some examples of how to say NO to temptation. Hopefully that message will come across tonight!
