Five-minute object lesson
Prop: a smooth stone
Hold a smooth stone. Read Jeremiah 33 in about four minutes, stopping at Jeremiah 33:6: “‘Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.” Ask, “What does this prop have to do with Jeremiah 33?” Let two children answer, then say the memory verse together.
Story script
Jeremiah 33 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Moreover Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying,” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.
Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, ““Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.” Jeremiah 33 opens with these words: “Moreover Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying,” The line to keep is Jeremiah 33:6: “‘Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.” Carry the word “behold” from that verse into the rest of the day.
The line worth learning out loud is Jeremiah 33:6: “‘Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.
What happens first in Jeremiah 33? Then try this: Read “‘Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
