Jesus Talks to His Followers Matthew 28:16-20
The
11 followers went to Galilee. They went to the mountain where Jesus told them
to go. On the mountain, they saw Jesus and worshiped him.
But some of them
did not believe that it was really Jesus.
Then Jesus came
to them and said, “All power in heaven and on earth is given to me. So go and
make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the
Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey everything that I
have told you. You can be sure that I will be with you always. I will continue
with you until the end of the world.”

- Help you carefully remove the lid and salt popcorn to flavor. Enjoy!
Talk About (while
enjoying the popcorn!):
- (Look at some unpopped kernels) The popcorn kernels are like people who don’t know about Jesus. Without the warmth of God’s love, they haven’t burst to life.
- But when God’s love warms our hearts and we invite him into our hearts, we burst with happiness; praises to Jesus can’t stay inside — they pop out, just like the popcorn.
- We can’t help but tell others how much we love Jesus and what he has done for us. How can we share this happiness with others?
