John 19:16

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

Jesus was led away — not dragged as a criminal, but given. He chose this path. Love led Him to the cross.

Memory phrase: Love led Jesus there.

Talk about it: Why did Jesus allow Himself to be led away?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, You chose this path for me. Thank You.
