The
Road to Emmaus may not seem like a strange story to share with young children, but
it provides us with an opportunity to talk about how Jesus is with us even when
we don’t recognize He is there.
Using paper, scissors, tape, and a marker, children can make and
experiment with an ordinary paper circle and a one-sided Moebius
strip. One paper loop can be cut into two, and the other remains undivided even
after cut.
Connecting this to the bible verse about being surrounded
by steadfast love, we remind children that the love of God is unconditional.
He loves us when we do good things.
He loves us when we do wrong things.
He loves us when everything is going well, and we are
happy.
He loves us when we are sad or lonely or angry about what
we must do to be safe.
God’s love surrounds us even when we don’t realize or
recognize it.
Spend some time talking with your children about how our current
situation makes you feel and makes them feel. Learn the Bible verse together
and remind each other of God’s unconditional, steadfast love.
Steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD. Psalm 32:10
