WHAT WE LEARNED
Jesus Gives us LOVE! The disciples loved Jesus, but they still made mistakes! Thomas doubted and Jesus didn’t push him away. Peter failed, and Jesus forgave and restored him. Jesus’ love doesn’t dissappear when we mess up, Jesus comes to us with grace and compassion.

TALK ABOUT IT
Here are the questions we talked about in snack time. Ask your child(ren) the questions and get a conversation going at home!
How is following Jesus like being on a team with a coach?
Answer: We listen to him, trust him, and follow his plan - just like players follow a coach.
Who were the disciples and which ones did you hear about today?
Answer: They were Jesus’ followers who learned from him and walked with him. Today you heard about Thomas and Peter.
Was it suprising that the disciples still messed up even though they got to follow Jesus and learn from him in person before he died?
What else did you find surprising?
What did Peter do, and how did Jesus respond?
Answer: He doubted that Jesus rose from the dead - even though Jesus told them all what was going to happen.
What does this teach us about Jesus’ love?
Answer: Jesus loves us even when we fail or doubt - his love never changes. He loved us first even when he knew we were broken and were going to fail! His love stays true no matter what! God promises his love and forgiveness and to never leave us when we grab onto Jesus.
What does it look like to “Gear Up” when we mess up or doubt?
Answer: Turn back to Jesus, trust his truth and remember his love is bigger than our mistakes.
