rooster in Matthew 26
ROO-ster
This creature shows up in Matthew 26:34: “Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Matthew 26:34
“Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that tonight, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.””
What kids can learn
When you hear rooster in Matthew, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Matthew 26:34 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
