There’s a new series of lessons for Sunday Schools, aged 4-11, and I’m so excited for what it teaches kids about who God is. This is one of my favourite themes in the Bible, I’ve already taught this series in two different churches, and I love how the whole Bible is set up to show us who the Christ would be and then in the New Testament who Jesus is.
I got the idea for this series from this clip of a TIm Keller sermon, and somehow misremembered the title as New and Better instead of True and Better - but I think that New is a category that works better for children anyway.
It is glorious news! That Jesus is honestly the best of all the Bible heroes and that God knows what he’s doing enough to make such an incredible and complicated demonstration of what Jesus would be like.
