- John the Baptist Children’s Sermon (Matthew 11:2-11) Signs of the Messiah Object Lesson
Main Objective of this Lesson: Children are driven by images, signs, and visual reminders. This lesson capitalizes on that theme by discussing how Jesus was revealed using signs and wonders. However, the essential element to remember is that Jesus proved who He was by His life, death, and resurrection. Miracles and wonders are great, but what we know this side of the Incarnation is even better!

Matthew 11:2-11 (NIV) Messengers from John the Baptist
2 When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”
4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[a] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
7 As John’s disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings’ palaces. 9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written:
“‘I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.’
11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
