Becoming More Like Jesus · Day 1 of 10

Jesus Shows Us Who God Is

Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."

Matthew 16:16 NLT

Big idea

If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus. He is not a character in an old story. He is God's own Son, and he can be known.

For Bigs

Talk about it

Peter watched Jesus up close for a long time before he said this. What do you think convinced him?

Today's challenge

Pick one story about Jesus you want to hear and ask a parent to read it with you tonight.

Prayer

God, thank you for sending Jesus so we could know you. Help our family watch him closely over these days. Make us more like him as we go. Amen.

Written for your children, not children in general

Tell us their ages once. The verse and the big idea stay shared, but the question and the challenge arrive in a version for each age at your table, addressed to them by name. A four year old gets something they can do without help. A fifteen year old gets a question they will actually answer honestly.

A note only the parent sees

Every devotional carries a short note at the bottom: what a strange answer probably means, what not to correct, and which follow-up question opens the conversation instead of ending it. It is the part that turns a reading into a conversation.

Weekdays, at your hour, in your timezone

Monday through Friday. Nothing on the weekend. Pause whenever life gets loud, and pick up where you left off. Choose from twenty-seven plans, from a five day walk through kindness to a plan for the week your child is dreading school.
