Jesus wants to talk to us too! But Jesus doesn't use a phone. Jesus talks to us in the Bible. The Bible is God's special book. Jesus has a message for us in the Bible. Do you want to hear Jesus's message? Yes!
One day, Jesus was walking by the big water. The water was called the Sea. Jesus saw some men in a boat. The men were catching fish with a big net. Splash, splash! The men were fishermen. They caught lots of fish!
Jesus called to the men. "Come with me!" Jesus said. "I will teach you something new. Instead of catching fish, you can help me catch people!" Not really catch people like fish - that would be silly! Jesus meant help people learn about God's love.
The fishermen were so excited! They dropped their nets. Plop! They left their boat. They followed Jesus right away. "We want to help you, Jesus!" they said.
Jesus wants us to help him too! We can tell our friends about Jesus. We can tell them Jesus loves them. We can be kind and share our toys. When we do nice things, we are helping Jesus!
Let's pray: Dear Jesus, we want to help you! We want to tell our friends you love them. Thank you for loving us! Amen.
