RELATE The Big God Story tells the story of God’s love for mankind. God created the world and everything in it and said everything was good. But then something changed the world. What happened? (Allow answers.) Sin entered the world. So God promised to make everything right and send a Redeemer. Who is the Redeemer? (Allow answers.) Yes. Jesus! Thousands of years later, Jesus came to earth as a baby born in Bethlehem. Jesus—God’s Son—lived a sinless life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again. Why did He do this? (Allow answers. Then encourage the kids to read John 3:16 and 1 John 4:9–10.)
