This book is an adaptation from a Sunday School lesson I wrote and taught children for many years. I understood that Jesus’ favorite way to teach was by using parables and metaphors, thus giving pictures to His listeners. So, I wrote a lesson introducing some of the pictures–the symbols–the Bible gives us about Jesus. He is the Rock, the Bread of Life, and the Lion of Judah, to name a few. Each symbol shows us attributes of who Jesus is.
That lesson wound up becoming one of my favorites to teach! I firmly believe those images were planted in children's little souls to help them remember who Jesus is throughout their lives, as pictures are powerful messages, each one worth a thousand words!
I’ve now rewritten and illustrated that idea into this book for little ones, up to 8 years old. Even though young children might not know how to read or write well, they already understand picture language. What better way to teach them about Jesus than to show them who He is in picture form?
