Guide’s Greatest Second Coming Stories

Have you ever wondered if today would be the day that Jesus would come back? Each of these true stories pulled from Guide magazine remind us Jesus is coming again and He cannot wait to be with us.

In 1844 a couple of sisters went to bed. . .

“Just think—tonight is the last night we’ll sleep in this bed.” “I know. Tomorrow we’ll be in our heavenly mansion!” “I’m not going to sleep at all,” eleven-year-old Susan whispered. “What if Jesus comes during the night? I don’t want to miss anything.” “I won’t sleep either!” Belinda agreed. “Poke me once in a while so I stay awake.”

Jesus did not come in 1844, but His promise is still true.

The Bible is clear: be patient. Remain faithful. Don’t give up. Jesus is coming! And it will be worth the wait!

Runaway World

Did you know that God has always had a plan for you? Well, He does. That plan is in the book we call the Bible. To really understand God’s plan for you, we have to go back to the beginning. Before your parents were born, before your great, grandparents were born, before your great–great–great–great― well, you get the picture. From the very beginning, when this world was just a thought in God’s mind, God had a plan to get you and this runaway world back home.

If we want to start at the beginning, we will need to open the book of Genesis, the very first book of the Bible and see how it all started. Are you ready? Let’s go!

Classmates

Unconditional, always patient, selfless, and sincere. That is how the Bible defines love. Self-centered, demanding, unstable, and irritable. That is how our children experience love on the street, on TV, and even at the schoolyard.

How can we teach them to pursue Jesus at a young age? How do we persuade them to always choose Love (seriously and with the capital letter) even though sometimes it means going against the tide?

The goal of these stories is to help children understand that Love is a learning process of constant growth—a path from and to God where our lives can reach eternal dimensions.

I think I heard the bell . . . Are you coming to class? We have lots to learn together!
