Pull! Color a picture about Jeremiah’s rescue from the cistern.
Give a coloring page to each child. Provide crayons, colored pencils, or washable markers to the children. Lead a discussion with the questions below as the children color their pictures.
Jeremiah was thrown into a cistern, an underground storage place for water. Why was he put there? For preaching the words that God gave him. For telling the people they had sinned and warning them of God’s judgment if they didn’t repent.
Who went to the king to save Jeremiah from death? The king’s servant, an Ethiopian named Ebed-melech.
How was Jeremiah rescued by Ebed-melech and the king’s guards? They threw ropes to Jeremiah and pulled him out.
While Jeremiah was in prison, God gave a message to him to tell Ebed-melech. What did God promise to Ebed-melech for trusting in Him and being loyal? That he would see the city destroyed but his life would be spared. God would rescue him and keep him safe.
Conclusion: Jeremiah was underground where no one could see him. Even so, God knew where he was all the time. Take your pictures home as a reminder that God always knows where we are. He can protect and rescue us no matter where we are or what circumstance we are in.
