In the 1990’s a slogan ‘What Would Jesus Do’ –
WWJD – became very popular in evangelical circles. This was great in that it
helped children and youth try to think
about what Jesus would do in a situation similar to their own IF He were here. But, He
is here! I think that is what many find so difficult – Jesus is here – He is
alive here and now – today – in each of His followers. Jesus lives in the present
through us and in us. It is not just about what Jesus would do. It is about What
IS Jesus doing. The strategy – Making the Christ
Connection is about just that. Helping children to see what Jesus IS doing in
their lives. They can only know this by looking towards Jesus. They can only
look to Him if they know Him. That
is what ‘Making the Christ Connection is about – helping children know Jesus
through bible stories and through their daily lives.
Keep posted for more information on a workshop on how to implement Making the Christ Connection sponsored by CECE and to take place on SaturdayApril 21st. Keep the date open!
