Just a brief note first. Last week i had the best of intentions and plenty of things i could clean to help demonstrate the principle we wanted to teach but the cleaning one only happened once and we didn't do the keys at all. So if you don't get something in, just pick up from now and keep doing your best.
This week - there's Satan tempting the Lord. The manual tells us, "the adversary sought to plant doubt in the saviors mind. 'If though be the Son of God,' Satan said (Luke 4:3). But the savior had communed with His Father in Heaven. He knew the scriptures, and He knew who He was." And then later the manual asks, "why does Satan try to make us doubt or divine identities?" That question is a little deep for our son but it leads us to one thing we're going to do this week:
We're going to reinforce my son's divine identity by reminding him he's a child of God and singing "I Am a Child of God" at bedtime.
Then, the last section would be easy to play out. "Do we know anyone who is brokenhearted or who needs to be "set at liberty"? (Luke 4:18). How can we help others receive the Savior's healing and deliverance?" We can easily put our toy animals in a jail and we have a Jesus figurine that can set them free. Or just say that Jesus sets them free. If a toy animal gets hurt, you can have Jesus heal them. My son loves playing with his animals so this will allow us some play time together with a spiritual message included (hopefully).
Video: Gospel library, children, new testament stories, chapter 11 goes over Jesus being tempted.
