Foundation:
God Is Son – God Gives A Rescuer
God not only exists as Father, but also as Son. Jesus is the Son of God. Through the incarnation (putting on flesh), Jesus became fully God and fully man. There has never been and never will be a man like this. Even though Jesus was fully God, He chose to empty Himself and submit to the will of God the Father. God sent His Son to be our rescuer. This is only possible through Jesus’ sacrificial death in our place on the cross. The good news is that Jesus did not stay dead, but rose from the grave defeating sin and death!
Every child should know that:

Every child should feel:
- Awe that God loves us so much he would send His Son to rescue us

- To love Jesus who is our rescuer and to learn more about him
