Flat Jesus

My Flat Jesus arrived today!  I’m so excited!  I plan to give Flat Jesus figures to my grandkids and friends.  I first found out about Flat Jesus from FB and thought it was a great idea.  So I ordered a package of bendable Flat Jesus figures from Amazon.  

You can use flat Jesus as a book mark, take him in the car, take him to the grocery store, take him on vacation, take him on a walk, take him on a bicycle ride – take him wherever you go.  Be sure to take pictures of Him and His adventures, and then share your pictures with friends.  Post your pictures on FB, twitter, etc. 

 

I plan to take him everywhere.  Seeing Flat Jesus will remind me that Jesus loves me and is always with me.  Right now he is propped up by my computer.  That way I see him often.  By taking Flat Jesus with me, I will be able to start a conversation about Jesus and share my testimony.  What better way to open the door to talking about your faith?

You can also make your own Flat Jesus with pen and crayons.  If you do, it’s a good idea to laminate him if possible.   There are many templates online.  Kids will love coloring their own Flat Jesus.  This is a great project for the kids stuck at home during this pandemic.

Flat Jesus was inspired by a national school project called Flat Stanley which was created from the children’s book called “Flat Stanley” by Jeff Brown.  A boy named Stanly was accidentally flattened when a bulletin board fell on him.  Then he was able to be mailed to different places and had all kinds of adventures.  Flat Jesus has become fun for all ages.

We know that Flat Jesus is only a toy or a paper cutout, but anything that gets people talking about Jesus is a good thing.  This is just one creative fun way to share the gospel.   It gets people’s attention on the Real Jesus.

Seeing Flat Jesus can remind us to keep Jesus Christ at the center of our life and that He is always with us.

“Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:9

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” – Matthew 28:20b

“For the Lord your God goes with you; he will never will leave you nor forsake you.” – Deuteronomy 31:6b, Hebrews 13:5b.

Join me here next time. -- I encourage you to trust in Jesus.
