Title: Jesus Comes to Harvest

Lesson:
Today, we are going to learn about a special time when Jesus comes to harvest, just like a farmer gathering his crops. In the book of Revelation, Jesus is described as coming to the earth to gather those who believe in him and to bring them to be with him forever.

In Revelation 14:14-20, we read about a vision of Jesus as a great and powerful harvester. He is sitting on a white cloud, and he is wearing a golden crown. He holds a sharp sickle in his hand, ready to gather the harvest.

Just like a farmer separates the wheat from the chaff, Jesus will separate those who believe in him from those who do not. The wheat represents those who love and follow Jesus, and the chaff represents those who do not believe in him.

When Jesus comes to harvest, he will take those who belong to him to be with him in heaven. And those who do not belong to him will be judged for their unbelief.

As young children, it’s important for us to remember that Jesus is coming back one day, and we want to be ready for his harvest. We want to be like the wheat – loving Jesus and following him – so that we can be gathered into his kingdom.

Let’s pray and ask Jesus to help us be ready for his coming and to live our lives in a way that pleases him.

Prayer:
Dear Jesus, thank you for coming to gather your people to be with you forever. Help us to be ready for your harvest by loving and following you every day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
