Summary: Each person who has accepted Jesus as his or her Lord and Savior is a brand new person. The old person who used to sin and do things that broke God’s heart is gone. The new person who is living under the obedience of Christ is now alive. Just as the caterpillar crawls on the ground, limited in its ability to soar, so our lives without Jesus can never reach the great heights that God has planned for us. In this lesson, the children will learn from the caterpillar and the butterfly. They will learn that when we let Jesus transform our lives, we can rise above sin and reach the potential God has for our lives.
Power Verse: “...anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life has gone; a new life has begun!”
- 2 Corinthians 5:17
