Leading a Child to Christ

Leading a child to Christ

Does the thought of leading a child to the Lord intimidate you? Do you worry that your presentation of the Gospel may be too complicated or confusing? One method that many teachers have used is the “wordless” presentation of the Gospel. The “wordless book” is actually just a small booklet made up of five pieces of colored paper—and no words.

The first page of the book is black, representing the darkness of our sin. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Every person who has ever lived—from moms and dads to boys and girls—is born with sin on their heart.

The second page of the book is red, representing the blood of Jesus. I John 1:7 says, “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.” Only the precious blood of Jesus is able to wash away our sin—not works, not church, not baptism.

The third page of the book is white, representing a clean heart that is now free from sin. Psalm 51:7 says, “Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” When we ask Jesus to wash our sins away, He washes away our past sins as well as our future sins!

The fourth page of the book is gold, representing heaven. Revelation 21:21 says, “And the street of the city (heaven) was pure gold.”

The fifth page of the book is green, representing the importance of growing in Jesus once you ask Him to save you. I Peter 3:18 says, “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.”


Let’s pray for opportunities to lead children to Jesus this week at “Believers Bible Time,” as well as throughout the rest of the year!
