引言:
今天,我们要学习施洗约翰,也会看见神怎样参与在他的出生中。故事从撒迦利亚和以利沙伯开始。他们是夫妻,并且遵行主的一切诫命。可是,他们一直没有孩子。事实上,以利沙伯的年纪早已经超过通常能够生育的年龄。但是,在神没有难成的事。有一天,撒迦利亚正在圣殿里事奉时,来了一位特别的访客。神奇妙的作为即将展开。
阅读路加福音 1:11-25(施洗约翰的出生)
讨论问题:
天使告诉撒迦利亚,要给孩子起什么名字?(约翰。)
为什么许多人会因为这个孩子出生而欢喜(让孩子们回答。因为他要为耶稣预备道路。)
向撒迦利亚说话的天使叫什么名字?(加百列。)
约翰被禁止喝什么?为什么?(他不可喝酒,也不可喝任何发酵的饮料,以显明他特别分别出来归给神。)
约翰什么时候被圣灵充满?(从母腹里就被圣灵充满。)
为什么天使使撒迦利亚不能说话?(因为撒迦利亚不相信加百列告诉他,他将要有一个儿子。)
阅读路加福音 1:57-66
讨论问题:
以利沙伯的邻居和亲属想给这个孩子起什么名字?(撒迦利亚,跟他的父亲同名。)
谁坚持说孩子的名字要叫约翰?(孩子的母亲以利沙伯。)
大家都很惊讶,以利沙伯竟然给孩子起一个家族中没有人用过的名字,于是他们去问孩子的父亲。撒迦利亚做了什么?(他在写字板上写下:“他的名字是约翰。”)
撒迦利亚确认孩子的名字是约翰以后,马上发生了什么?(他又能够说话了。)
人们看见这些事情以后有什么反应?(他们都感到敬畏,也充满惊奇。)
课堂活动(12分钟)
备选-课堂活动(15分钟)
应用(6分钟)
每个人都很清楚地看见,甚至在施洗约翰出生以前,神的手就已经与他同在。人们亲眼看见了一个又一个神迹。首先,他们看见撒迦利亚在圣殿里见过天使加百列以后,出来时竟然不能说话。接着,他们又因以利沙伯年老时奇妙地怀孕而欢喜。后来,他们还亲眼看见,当撒迦利亚确认孩子的名字是约翰以后,马上又能够说话了。这一带所有的人都充满惊奇,彼此谈论这些事情。他们知道,神对这个名叫约翰的小孩子,一定有非常重要的计划。
神拣选约翰,是有原因的。神拣选你,也是有原因的。就像施洗约翰一样,神早就知道你会叫什么名字。祂知道你的眼睛会是什么颜色。祂知道你的头发会是什么颜色。祂知道你将来会长多高。祂甚至知道谁会把你养大。在你出生以前,神已经知道你生命中的每一天。大卫在一篇诗篇中写道:“我未成形的体质,你的眼早已看见了;你所定的日子,我尚未度一日,你都写在你的册上了。神啊,你的意念向我何等宝贵!其数何等众多!”(诗篇 139:16-17)
讨论问题:
你觉得神知道你的名字,也为你的生命预备了一个目的吗?(让孩子们自由回答。)
神曾经通过哪些方式预备你来服事祂?(让孩子们自由讨论。例如:参加主日学、在基督徒家庭中长大、身边有还不认识神的人,使你有机会为主作见证,等等。)

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)
Introduction:Today, we are going to learn about John the Baptist and we will see how God was involved in his birth. Our story starts with Zechariah and Elizabeth. They were married and obeyed all of the Lord's commands. They had no children. In fact, Elizabeth was way past the age for having children. However, with God, nothing is impossible. One day, while Zechariah was serving in the temple, he had a special visitor. God's miraculous powers were about to take place.
Read Luke 1:11-25 (The Birth of John the Baptist)
Discussion Questions:
1. What name did the angel tell Zechariah to give his child? (John)
2. Why do you think many rejoiced because of his birth? (Let children respond. He paved the way for Jesus.)
3. What was the name of the angel that spoke to Zechariah? (Gabriel.)
4. What was John forbidden to drink and why? (He was never to drink wine or any other fermented drink to show his special dedication to God.)
5. When was John filled with the Holy Spirit? (From birth.)
6. Why did the angel cause Zechariah to become mute? (Zechariah did not believe what Gabriel told him about having a son.)
Read Luke 1:57-66Discussion Questions:
1. What name did Elizabeth's neighbors and relatives want to give the baby? (Zechariah, after his father.)
2. Who insisted that the baby's name would be John? (Elizabeth, the baby's mother.)
3. Everyone was shocked that Elizabeth would give the baby such a strange name, so they asked the father. What did Zechariah do? (He wrote the name "John" on a tablet.)
4. What happened immediately after Zechariah confirmed that the baby's name would be John? (He could speak again.)
5. How did the people react when they witnessed all of these things? (They were filled with awe, and they wondered.)

APPLICATION (6 minutes)
It was quite clear to everyone that God's hand was with John the Baptist, even before his birth. The people saw many miracles unfolding before them. First, they saw and heard how Zechariah was unable to speak when he came out of the temple after speaking with the angel, Gabriel. Next, they rejoiced when Elizabeth miraculously became pregnant in her old age. Then, they witnessed how Zechariah could speak again right after he confirmed the baby's name. All the people in the area were filled with wonder, and they discussed these events with each other. They knew God had some very important plans for this little child named John.God chose John for a reason.
God also chose you for a reason. Like John the Baptist, He knew what your name would be. He knew what color your eyes would be. He knew what color your hair would be. He knew how tall you would become. He even knew who would raise you. God had every day of your life written out before you were born. In one of his psalms, David wrote, "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!" Psalm 139:16-17 NIVDiscussion Question:1. Do you think God chose your name and a purpose for your life? (Allow for responses.)2. In what ways has God prepared you to serve Him? (Allow of discussion, some examples may be attending Sunday school, being raised a Christian, surrounded by non-believers to be a witness, etc.)
NEXT WEEK
So, how did John get the rest of his name? How did he become John the Baptist? Find out by coming back next week.
