John the Baptist was Jesus' cousin on his mother's side, born a few months before Jesus. His ministry was to get people ready for the greatest moment in Jewish history, in world history: Jesus' ministry and then death and resurrection. How does John seek to prepare the people for Jesus' coming (vv. 1-8)?

Sheep from the Goats Freeze Tag

Designate a playing area. Have a student volunteer to be “It”.

Say: One day the sheep will be separated by the goats. In this game someone is “It” and he will separate the sheep from the goats. If “It” tags you, you are frozen and cannot move. The only way you can become unfrozen if another sheep comes and tags you. Play continues until all the players are frozen. Then the last person to be frozen is "It" for the next game.

If you have time, play several rounds, having kids change groups and roles.

After playing the game, ask your students:

1. What was it like waiting to be unfrozen?
2. How is being chosen by Jesus like being untagged by someone?

Introduce Games: The beatitudes come from the opening verses of the famous Sermon on the Mount delivered by Jesus and recorded in Matthew 5:3-12. Here Jesus states several blessings, each beginning with the phrase, "Blessed are ..." Each saying speaks of a blessing or "divine favor" bestowed upon a person resulting from the possession of a certain character quality. The purpose of the beatitudes is to inspire you to act in certain ways. Therefore, living them out is absolutely at the heart of the matter. So do you have the right attitudes that God wants you to have?

2. Put them in order.

3. Glue them onto the colored paper. You can decorate the paper and make it look nice.
4. Hang the poster in your room. You will see it every day when you wake up! This way, you can remember Jesus' Great Commandment!
