Read the story together
A short version of the story to read aloud before colouring, with questions to ask afterwards.
Paul wrote about a breastplate of righteousness as part of God's armor. A breastplate covered a soldier's chest. Paul used it as a picture of doing what is right and living in a way that pleases God. He wanted Christians to stand firm in faith, not fight people. Choosing what is right can protect a friendship and help a community grow in trust. We can act fairly, keep promises and make things right after a mistake. The breastplate reminded readers that goodness matters in everyday life.
Questions to ask
- What is the child wearing over the tunic?
- What did Paul say the breastplate stood for?
- What is one fair or right choice you can make today?
