SuperVerse

Let’s say our SuperVerse together. Luke 1:45:

“You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what He said.”

Elizabeth spoke these words to Mary when she visited. Now, what promise was Elizabeth talking about? Do you know the promise that Mary believed?

When Gabriel visited Mary, he gave her news that must have sounded impossible, because she wasn’t married yet! She would give birth to a baby who would be the Son of God! His name would be Jesus. He would reign forever and His kingdom would never end! Now, if you received that news, do you think you would believe the promise?

Read Luke 1:38:

Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.” And then the angel left her.

Yes, Mary had questions; I would, too! Yet she listened to Gabriel’s answer and willingly agreed to God’s plan for her. Mary believed God’s promise that she would give birth to God’s Son—the Son of the Most High God! And that is why Elizabeth told Mary the words of our SuperVerse. Let’s say it together. Say the SuperVerse on the board.

Now I will read the verse to you and stop at certain parts—then you must shout the next word of the verse. Do the first round with the children facing the board. Read the verse aloud and stop before keywords, such as “Lord,” “blessed,” “because,” “believed,” “keep,” “promise.” Next, play another round, but have the children turn around with their backs to the board. Allow them to peek if they can’t remember the correct word to fill in as you stop. Play as long as time allows.
