Day Four Holy Week

🐟 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.” ❤️

⸻

🎨 Coloring Page Idea

Title: “I Choose Jesus”

What to draw (simple + clear):
• A path that splits into two:
• One side: 💰 (money/worldly things)
• Other side: ✝️ (Jesus)
• A child standing in the middle choosing the path to Jesus
• A heart above them ❤️

Bottom Words to Color:
👉 “I choose Jesus!

New Kids Devotional posted today

👇🏼

Mom, dad and kids here’s the day Kids Devo

📖✨ Bible time—even away from home! ✨📖

Today I read Psalm 90, written by Moses. Moses talked to God about how God lasts forever, but people only have a short time on earth.

He asked God to help us use our days wisely and not waste them.

Moses spent many years leading God’s people through the desert. It was hard, and the people didn’t always listen—but God never left them. Even in the desert, God gave them food, help, and care. 🏜️❤️

One of my favorite parts says:

👉 “Teach us to number our days.”

That means every day matters, and God wants us to use our time to love Him and do good.

And at the end, Moses asks God to bless the work of our hands—everything we do for Him. 🙏✨

God is kind, patient, and always with us—no matter where we are.

👨‍👩‍👧 Questions for Kids (with Mom & Dad):

1. What does it mean that God lasts forever but people do not?

2. Why do you think Moses asked God to help people use their days wisely?

3. How did God take care of His people in the desert?

4. What are some good ways you can use your day to honor God?

5. What is something you can do with your hands today that would make God happy?

---

⭐ Challenge for Today:
Pick one way to use your day wisely:

• Help someone without being asked

• Say a prayer thanking God for today

• Be kind when it’s hard

• Do your schoolwork or chores with a happy heart

• Tell someone about God’s love
At the end of the day, talk about how you used your time for God. 💬❤️
