Disciples Who Disappointed, Doubted, and Denied by Margo Holmes, Kids will be reminded that Jesus never gives up on those who love Him, no matter what! We all have our short-comings, and Jesus doesn't give up on us. Instead, He forgives us and teaches us how to move forward. Jesus did this with his disciples when James and John were not happy when Jesus wasn't welcomed into the village, and they became furious and wanted to retaliate. Also, when Jesus told His disciples that He would be raised from the dead, and later when He visited them, Thomas had been absent and doubted what they said was true. Even Peter who loved Jesus with all of his heart, became afraid when Jesus was arrested and denied that he even knew Him. Jesus loves us, is ready to forgive us and will help us move forward so that we can also be disciples of Jesus, making a difference in the world. Hardcover, 36 pages. Recommended for ages 4 to 8 years old.
