SUNDAY 29 AUGUST LESSON
Sunday we had our amazing Fun Day “MASTERCHEF”! I believe this was a great morning, with loads of fun, and loads of food! Of course we did also link our theme to God, as God is the creator of all food! (Not masterchef as some of our 4 year olds answered when asked “who created food?”)
- There are many references in the Bible to food:
And God said, let the earth bring forth the green herb, and such as many seed and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its kind, which may have seed in it self upon the earth, and it was so done. (Genesis1: 11).
According to the bible, the Promised Land flowered with milk and honey. But the Promised Land was even, more than that. It was a cornucopia over flowing with all kinds of healthful, healing foods.
…A land of wheat and barley, and vines, and fig trees and pomegrates: a land of oil olive and honey, a land wherein thou shall eat bread without scarceness, thou shall not lack any thing in it…. (Deut 8:8)
- God wants us to receive pleasure from eating yummy foods!
- Besides literal references to food, the Bible also speaks about food symbols. God showed Peter a banquet of foods representing His love for all people, not just Jews only.
- Jesus refers to Himself as the bread of life. He can sustain us spiritually, like bread sustains us physically. And we need Him daily, otherwise we cannot survive, just like we need to eat daily in order to survive.
Based on these points you could discuss with your child:
- How they can make sure they spend time with Jesus daily.....
- How they can show appreciation to God for all the beautiful food He has created...
- Pray together and thank God for food
