Big Idea: Jesus is King over everything, and everything and everyone will worship Him.

Bible Passage: Revelation 4-5

This week the children learned what John saw when Jesus showed him a vision of 'the throne room of heaven'. Jesus is King over everything and sits on the throne and every creature and person bows in worship of Him. The creatures in the vision sing a never ending song of, "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God almighty who was and is and is to come." People lay down their crows at King Jesus' feet. John looked around to see who is worthy to open God's scroll – and no one that has ever lived is worthy. Only Jesus is worthy to open the scroll- only Jesus is worthy to be the sacrifice for the sins of the whole world – as only Jesus is perfect and holy. John concludes this description of the vision by telling us that there are people from every tribe, nation and people on earth, and that at the end of time, everyone and every creature will bow before King Jesus' throne and worship Him as Lord.

Family Activity

We asked the question of the children, Who is Jesus to you? Do you really believe He is King and Creator of all? Do you really believe He is the only Saviour who can save us from sin and put us right with God again? If the answer to those questions is 'yes', then do we really live like we believe it? The people in the story worshipped Jesus by singing. We sang a new song of worship together too. We sang 'What a Beautiful Name,' -by Hillsong Kids. Consider singing or making music and noise together in worship to Jesus this week to this song – or choose a family favourite! When we sang and prayed together on Sunday, we got down on our knees as it says in Revelation. This week, when you pray or sing together, kneel down together as an intentional and visual reminder that we serve Jesus, our King and Saviour.
