John 14:16

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

Jesus promises another Comforter, the Holy Spirit, to remain with the disciples. “With you” stresses enduring presence, not a fleeting visit.

Memory phrase: The Comforter comes

Talk about it: Why would lasting help matter to the disciples?

Prayer: Jesus, help me listen carefully to your words.
