Childrens Message: Jesus, the Suffering Hero

In this message, children will consider what makes a "typical hero." Jesus was not the expected hero that people might have anticipated. His disciples didn't like the idea that He would suffer and die, but Jesus knew it was part of God's plan. This message reminds kids of why Jesus had to die in order to provide salvation, and in doing so He was a true and everlasting hero.

Law/Gospel Theme: We easily recognize how powerful and wonderful Jesus is…however, when He lived on Earth, His rule was not quite what people expected or anticipated. They wanted a conquering, physically impressive leader. Jesus came as a suffering servant. They wanted political power in this life; Jesus established spiritual power for the life to come. We can give thanks that Jesus suffered for our sake and that through Him we have hope and salvation.
