Making Bible History Come Alive
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles, uncategorizedChildren need not be bored by Bible history. Think of the following example: Moses escaped death as a child (Exodus 1-2-NKJV), was educated as a prince (Exodus 2:10-NKJV; cf. Hebrews 11:24-NKJV), was the instrument through which God worked miracles (Exodus 4:1-9-NKJV; Exodus 7:1-18-NKJV), and received the Ten Commandments on tablets of stone (Exodus 31:12-18-NKJV; Exodus 32:1-16-NKJV).
These are exciting story elements that are designed to teach children about God‘s dealings with man.
Biblical stories have been shared with children for generations — all the way back to the times recorded in Exodus (cf. Exodus 12-13-NKJV); as well as Deuteronomy 6-NKJV), where Moses described times when children were to be retold vital stories from Jewish history.
During this New Year – 2010, let’s set aside a time each day to read Bible stories to our children and grandchildren, passing these stories from generation to generation (cf. Deuteronomy 6:1-7-NKJV; Psalm 78:1-8-NKJV).
And while we’re at it, let’s put a little animation into our story telling, and then watch their excitement as biblical history comes alive!
