SuperVerse
- Bible or the Superbook Bible App
- Poster board or whiteboard and marker, or chalkboard and chalk
Write the verse on the board.
Have the children open their Bibles and read the SuperVerse aloud. Recite the verse in three parts, with the following motions. If younger children are not able to memorize the entire verse, simply have them repeat it several times and be sure they understand its meaning.
Ready?
“I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians,”
Hold out arms in front of you with open hands, then close hands and pull arms back to chest.
“I will rescue you from their bondage,”
Dramatically thrust arms down to each side, as if breaking bonds.
“And I will redeem you with an outstretched arm.”
Lift both arms out to the side—like a cross.
Have children say it several times with the hand motions.
God gave these words to Moses to tell the Israelites. They must have been very excited to hear this after being in Egypt under Pharaoh’s cruel oppression. Help was on the way! They were about to be redeemed from their slavery and bondage! God has redeemed us, too! Jesus came to Earth to pay the penalty for our sin and to bring us into a right relationship with God, our Heavenly Father!
