ACTS 16 : 16-34
In this Sunday’s lesson from the story of Paul and Silas in the Bible, children learned about finding joy in the midst of persecution. Despite being brought before the authorities and beaten for doing what was right, Paul and Silas chose to praise and worship God while in jail, alongside other prisoners.
Witnessing God’s miraculous works even within the confines of the prison emphasized the importance of our testimony during difficult times. Paul and Silas didn’t flee; they recognized that God was at work, using their adversity for a greater purpose. One significant lesson imparted to the children today is that true joy is not only found in victory but also in the moments of defeat.
