WHAT YOU NEED: “Focus Cards” (print above OR make your own using index cards or paper)
WHAT YOU DO:
o Shuffle two sets of “Focus Cards” together.
o Lay cards face down on the floor in a grid pattern.
“Great job focusing on the cards to find all the matches. In our story, people thought Jesus was John the Baptist, Elijah, or a prophet. Often, when people talk about Jesus today, they say He is a healer, He feeds the poor, He is our Shepherd, or He’s a teacher. But we are missing a card for Peter’s responseto Jesus. When Jesus asked Peter, Who do you say I am? Peter said, You are the Messiah. You are the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:15-16 NIrV). Peter recognized Jesus as God’s Son. Peter recognized Jesus as the One sent by God to rescue all of us. And when Jesus asked Peter what he believed, Peter answered Him. You can be like Peter, too, and you can TALK with others about what you believe. The more you TALK about what you believe, the more you can learn from others and the more others can learn from you.”

Let us keep looking to Jesus. He is the one who started this journey of faith,
and he is the one who completes this journey of faith.
