Who is Jesus?
How can you introduce your children to Jesus? In Who Is Jesus? Kate Hox presents 40 pictures to help you share Jesus with your family.
Exciting and Insightful
With bold illustrations, this book will help get your kids curious about discovering who Jesus is and what he came to do. By opening with Jesus Is the Firstborn Over All Creation, the book shares Colossians 1:15–17 with a short devotion and reflection questions. The rest of the book follows this pattern, and it is exciting and insightful.
What I most appreciated were the theological truths that your kids will uncover. Day 28 shows that Jesus is the Light of the World. While John 8:12 is the main text, the book recalls the four giant pillars in the temple, with four branches that came out like a lampstand. By recounting Jesus’ interactions with the Jews, the book brilliantly shows how Jesus fulfills The Feast of Tabernacles.
Christ Throughout the Bible
The illustrations by Joe Hox will capture the imagination of your children. And the chapters by Kate Hox draw your attention to different allusions and pictures of Christ throughout the Bible: Jesus Is the Ark and the Door, Jesus Is the Passover Lamb, and Jesus Is the Rock Moses Struck are some of my favorites.
This book is perfect for family devotions, as answers to reflection questions and suggested songs are included at the back of the book. In fact, the reflection questions will prompt you to further study, allowing you to go deeper into God’s Word. But I can easily see this being used in Sunday School, discipleship, or for simply enjoyable devotional reading.
Seeing and Meeting Jesus
The book ends by revealing that Jesus is the Bridegroom, with Revelation 19:7 as the key verse. The wedding feast is the perfect way to celebrate all that was learned before in the book while also looking forward to seeing Jesus face-to-face. This book will help your children meet him now.
