John 2:21

John 2:21

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

John clarifies for the reader what Jesus really meant. This is one of Jesus' clearest predictions of His own resurrection, hidden in plain sight.

Memory phrase: His body, the temple

Talk about it: Why is it so amazing that Jesus said He would rise from the dead before He even died?

Prayer: Jesus, Your body died and rose again for me. That is the most amazing thing ever. Thank You.
