John 21:1

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

The risen Jesus did not disappear after one appearance. He kept showing Himself — proving He was truly alive and still with His people. He comes back for us again and again.

Memory phrase: Jesus showed Himself again.

Talk about it: Why is it wonderful that Jesus kept appearing to His disciples?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for coming back to us again and again.
