Show the Children a cookbook. Ask them what is inside. Show them the recipes.
Show them a “How To” book. Ask them what is inside. Show them the various things that can be made and fixed.
Show them the Bible. Ask them what is inside. Tell them, nonchalantly, it only contains the solution to world peace!
Read from the “Instruction Book.”
- Love the Lord your “God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
- Love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew)
- Practice Justice (Luke 11:43)
- Show Mercy (Matthew 23:23)
- Feed the Hungry
- Clothe the Naked
- Visit the imprisoned
“These are the ingredients needed to make the world a better place for everyone. But there is one missing ingredient!
Just as a cookbook needs a chef and a “How To” book needs a handy person, the Bible needs you. The Bible needs you to live out God’s words, to follow the instructions of Jesus Christ, to put the Bible into action as a tool for World Peace.
PRAYER: Thank you God for bringing us your message of peace and love, through your son, Jesus Christ. May we be workers who will put our words into action and may we, in our lifetime, achieve Word Peace, beginning today, in our hearts, our homes, and our neighborhoods. In Christ’s name, we say “Amen.”
