2 Chronicles 20:1-37When the Moabites, Ammonites, and some of the Meunites rose up against Judah, their king, Jehoshaphat went in prayer to the Lord.

God fights our battle against sin and we have victory through Jesus.

Redemption
Thankfully, God does not just leave us in the broken world, but is repairing the brokenness through His Son. From the very beginning of time, God promised He would fix creation, and He kept His promise by sending Jesus to rescue us from our sin. Jesus came to live on the earth and willingly died on the cross so that sin’s power over creation would be broken forever.
Every child should know that:
- God sent Jesus to die in our place as our substitute.
- We need a substitute because we cannot pay our sin debt on our own.
Every child should:
- Talk about why we need a substitute and how Jesus is our substitute.
Every child should feel:
- Awe at Jesus’s willingness to sacrifice Himself as our substitute.
Every child should want:
- To believe in Jesus’s work on their behalf to pay their sin debt.
