Super J

And who is the one who overcomes
the world, but he who believes
that Jesus is the Son of God?

1 John 5:5

Over the past couple of weeks, we have been trying to impress upon our students the importance of believing in Jesus. In a society and world of broken trust, once again we face a dilemma. If we can’t trust those we see and even love, how can we trust Someone we cannot see? For some of us this goes without saying. How can we not trust in God? But, for those who are hearing this for the first time, it can be a little hard to fathom.
We have been blessed with a group of students who are very open to learning who God is and are very excited to hear about this wonderful Friend who will always be with them.
We are very excited about how God is opening such young hearts and minds to understand more about Him.
Every two weeks, we introduce a new Bible verse at three different levels. The students study, repeat, and memorize these verses. They each have a special book in which to place their new Bible verse sticker. Our motto for Bible study is ‘God’s Word I Have Hid in My Heart!’ As we tuck God’s word into our hearts and minds, we can suit up and be prepared to fight the enemy. When we are sad, we have His promises. When we are joyful, we sing His praises. When we are scared, we remember His comforting words. When we are confused, we rest in Him. We also place the verses around the room to help with tucking them in their hearts.Thursday’s class started and the rafter’s were ringing with the young voices. “Who is the King of the universe, and who’s the King of me? I’ll tell you, J-E-S-U-S. He is the King of me . . . “ and “My God is so big, so big, so big!” We were having a blast! After all the singing they were quite thirsty. “Are you thirsty?” “Yes, may I have some water?” and the routine continued. Courtney took her station at the water machine and helped as she practiced their English conversation with them. Two little six year olds approached and started to sip their water. They noticed the ‘Super J’ logo on the machine and asked Courtney about it. She explained that it is for Super Jesus, our best friend and hero. One little boy said, “Well, he can’t be better than Superman, can He?” The other little kid responded with much vigor, “Of course He is. Jesus has special binoculars and He can see the whole world!” Yes, He is our Super Jesus and let’s not forget that He is watching out for us always. Never feel that you’ve been left alone or that there’s no hope! Jesus is ‘to the rescue’ just in time – His time. God Bless.
