🐟 Fresh Catch Kids – Holy Week (Day 4 – Wednesday)
🌿 Simple Lesson: “Choose Jesus From Your Heart”
📖 Bible Verse:
“Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, ‘What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?’”
— Matthew 26:14–15
⸻
📖 Bible Truth (Kid Version):
On this day of Holy Week, something very sad happened…
One of Jesus’ own disciples, Judas, made a bad choice.
👉 He went to the leaders and agreed to betray Jesus for money 💰
Judas had been with Jesus…
He heard His teachings…
He saw His miracles…
But his heart chose money over Jesus.
⸻
💛 What This Means for Us:
Judas shows us something important:
👉 You can be around Jesus… but not truly choose Him in your heart.
Jesus doesn’t just want us to:
• Go to church
• Say the right words
👉 He wants us to love Him and choose Him from our heart every day
⸻
💬 Ask the Kids:
• What do I choose first—Jesus or other things?
• Am I honest with Jesus about my heart?
• Do my choices show that I love Him?
⸻
🐟 Simple Teaching Line:
“I choose Jesus with my whole heart.” ❤️
