Sit down with your child and remember Jesus' sacrifice on the cross with this illustrated children's book. With easy-to-read rhyming language, kids will learn about Jesus' last days leading up to Good Friday and the events of Easter morning. Like each book in the Arch Books series, The Hands of Our Lord Jesus includes a letter at the end of the book that helps parents put the story into biblical context and lead a discussion with their child. 2024 Lent Theme: The Hand of The Lord The Lord's mighty, saving hand is seen all over the Old Testament, especially in the book of Exodus. The Lord's strong hand saved His people from the grip of Pharaoh and led them safely through the Red Sea. He set them apart as His people; the finger of God inscribed His commandments. But things again got out of hand, with the people worshiping a golden calf--and then the tablets lay broken at the foot of Mount Sinai. Still, the Lord forgave and made His dwelling among His people in the tabernacle. He led His people by His hand toward the Promised Land, even though it took forty years in the desert. The redemption of God's people in Exodus foreshadows the great redemption that Jesus accomplished for us by His hand, and it is still with us today. On His cross, Jesus rescued us from the bondage to sin, death, and the devil. Even though we still falter by the work of our hands, He does not leave us. For we are daily called to repentance, and we receive the forgiveness with which He fills our empty hands. Indeed, He still leads us by His hand into life everlasting.
