Theme: Recognizing Jesus when He is right in front of us
This children’s sermon uses the familiar saying “If it were a snake, it would have bitten you” to help kids understand how easy it is to miss what is right in front of us. Through a relatable, humorous story and the Gospel account of the Road to Emmaus, children learn that Jesus was walking and talking with His followers, even when they did not recognize Him.
The sermon walks through how Jesus patiently explained the Scriptures to the disciples and was finally revealed to them when He broke bread. Just as the disciples’ eyes were opened, children are reminded that Jesus is walking right next to them even when life feels confusing or scary.
Key Takeaway: Jesus walks with us every day, even when we don’t recognize Him right away. We can trust that He is always near, guiding us through His Word and reminding us of God’s plan.
