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.
