Bible stories about Jesus

Every story on this page comes from the Gospels, the four books that tell us about Jesus. Children meet Him the way His first friends did: a boy asking questions in the temple, a man asleep in a boat who stands up and stills the wind, a teacher who stops for a blind beggar and makes room for little children on His lap.

Read them in any order. Each story is short enough for bedtime, told in six pictures and read aloud so you can press play and listen together. Every one ends with a memory verse, a lesson and a prayer, and has its own colouring page.

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
