Memory verse
“How narrow is the gate and the way is restricted that leads to life! There are few who find it.”
Read the story together
A short version of the story to read aloud before colouring, with questions to ask afterwards.
Jesus told the crowd about two paths. One was broad and easy to enter, but it led away from life. The other was narrow and harder to find, yet it led to life. Jesus used a gate and road to picture the choices people make. He taught them to choose God's way, even when it was not the easiest path. This is a story about choosing what is good and true. Each day brings small choices: tell the truth, make peace or help someone. Jesus invited his followers to choose the path that leads to life and keep walking in it.
Questions to ask
- Which gate looks narrow?
- What did Jesus say the narrow way leads to?
- Can you name a small choice that helps you follow God's way?
