Jesus’ words and example of total love have changed the lives of thousands of people. His words transcend time and remain alive today in believing hearts. This coloring book contains messages from Jesus to you. His words give each of us a path to follow, a way of love to live, and remind us of the heaven we hope to reach.

“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”

Matthew 6:9–­13

The Beatitudes “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are those who are mourning, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst to do God’s will, for they shall have their fill.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. Blessed are those persecuted for doing God’s will, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and say every sort of evil thing against you because of me; rejoice and be glad, because your reward will be great in Heaven— ­they persecuted the prophets before you in the same way.”

Matthew 5:1–­ 12

“You are the light of the world.

A city cannot be hid, which is set atop a mountain.

Nor do you light a lamp and set it beneath a bushel; you set it on the lampstand, instead, so it lights everyone in the house.

Let your light so shine before others that they’ll see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.”

Matthew 5:14–­ 16

“Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, so that you’ll become sons of your Father in Heaven, because he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and rains on the just and the unjust.”

Matthew 5:44–­46

“Amen, amen, I say to you, If the grain of wheat that falls to the ground does not die, it remains alone, But if it dies, it bears much fruit.�
