A picture of the president
Good morning! Can anyone tell me who this is? (Show the
picture.) Yes, this is a picture of the president of our country.
Now we know that the president is a powerful person. He has a lot
of power. Can you think of anyone in the world who has more power
than the president? (Let them answer.)
Well, there may be some kings of small countries who have
more power over their people than the president has over us, and
the leader of China has control over a lot more people than our
president, but the president of the United States surely has a lot
of power.
Still, there is someone who has more power than our president
and more power than anyone in the whole world. This person is so
powerful that he is in control of the entire universe! Who is that
person? (Let them answer.)
Jesus Christ is in control of the whole universe. God has put
everything under his control. Most of the people in the world
don't know that he is in control, but someday they will learn that
it is true. Jesus went up into heaven after he was raised from the
dead, and on the day that he did that, an angel told those who
were watching that someday he would return in the same way. When
he comes back, everyone will know that Jesus is the boss! He is in
control of everything!
In the meantime, we who know Jesus and love him are the only
ones who know that he is really running things. Doesn't it make
you feel good to know that our good friend, Jesus, is the one who
runs the whole universe? (Let them answer.)
Dear Jesus: We know that you are the one who has all the real
power in the universe. We are happy that you are in control. Amen.
