Jesus in the Temple
Luke 2:41-52
Craft/Activity: Scrolls
Students will make scrolls to remind them that Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem to talk in the temple with
the teachers of the law.
Materials
1. Scroll Pattern
2. Popsicle Sticks
3. Glue
4. Crayons, Markers or Colored Pencils
5. Rubber Bands
6. Scissors
Directions
1. Have students color in the letters of the memory verse on the scroll pattern.
2. Cut out the scroll on the solid black line.
3. Roll both ends of the scroll pattern to the center.
4. Glue a Popsicle stick to both ends of the scroll.
5. When the glue has dried, put a rubber band around the scroll to keep it rolled up.
For Discussion
As students are working on their scrolls, remind them that Jesus was not intentionally disobeying his parents
by staying behind in Jerusalem. It stands to reason that Jesus would be in the temple speaking about things
of God. It is interesting that Mary “treasured these things in her heart” as would any parent who was proud
of his/her son. Help each student realize that Jesus was a child like they are. Jesus was a great example of
how even children can talk about things of God. Encourage them to share the gospel message with those
around them.

house?” But they did not know what Jesus was

Have You Ever Sinned?
The Bible teaches that we have all

sinned and do not measure up to
God’s glory. It also teaches that the
price for sin is death which separates
us from God. But even though we
are sinners, Christ died for us and
paid the price for our sin. We just
need to ask him to forgive us and
receive his free gift of salvation. Just
pray this prayer, with a sincere heart,
and Jesus will forgive you of your
sins. You will become a child of God
and live with Him in heaven.
