背经节(5分钟)
我是用水给你们施洗，叫你们悔改；但那在我以后来的，能力比我更大，我就是给祂提鞋也不配。祂要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。（马太福音 3:11）
把全班分成四组。如果班级人数较少，也可以让孩子们单独进行，或者两人一组。把这节经文分成四个部分，每一组负责其中一部分。先让第一组大声说出第一部分，接着其他各组按照顺序，迅速说出自己负责的部分。最后，全班一起说出经文出处。不断重复，并且逐渐加快速度，直到大家都能够没有错误、没有停顿地完成。然后交换各组负责的部分，再进行一次。
经文阅读与与讨论(15分钟)
引言：
今天，我们要从马太福音和路加福音中，学习施洗约翰怎样为弥赛亚预备道路。约翰在约旦河里用水给人施洗。这是一个认罪和悔改的时刻，为的是预备人领受罪得赦免。这给百姓带来了鼓励，也给了他们力量和盼望。在约旦河里受洗本身并不能救他们，但这样的洗礼预备他们迎接耶稣，就是那位弥赛亚。
读 马太福音 3:1-11（施洗约翰预备道路）
讨论问题：
根据马太福音 3:2，施洗约翰在旷野里说了什么？（“天国近了，你们应当悔改！”）
哪一位大先知曾预言约翰的到来？（以赛亚。）
你会怎样形容施洗约翰？（他穿骆驼毛的衣服，吃蝗虫和野蜜。）
约翰用水给人施洗。他说，在他以后有一位能力比他更大的要来。约翰说的是谁？（耶稣。）
耶稣要用什么给人施洗？（圣灵与火。）
读 路加福音 3:1-18（施洗约翰预备道路）
讨论问题：
施洗约翰说，那些不结好果子的树会怎样？（要被砍下来，丢在火里。）
当百姓向约翰询问该怎样做时，他说有两件衣裳的人应该怎么办？（分一件给没有的人；食物也是这样。）
施洗约翰吩咐税吏做什么？（除了规定应收的以外，不要多收。）
百姓以为施洗约翰是谁？（他们以为他是弥赛亚。）
施洗约翰怎样为耶稣预备道路？（他传悔改的洗礼，使人预备领受罪得赦免，这象征着耶稣后来真正要为我们成就的事。约翰也劝人过敬虔的生活，为跟随耶稣作好准备。）
课堂活动(15分钟)
备选-课堂活动(15分钟)
用橡皮泥塑出以赛亚的话（活动）
把全班分成至少三组，给每组足够的橡皮泥。把先知以赛亚在马太福音 3:3 中描述施洗约翰的下面三句话，分别分配给各组：
- “在旷野有人声喊着”
- “预备主的道”
- “修直祂的路”
请每组合作，用橡皮泥把自己负责的那句话做成一个可以看得见的画面。完成以后，按照经文中的正确顺序，把各组的作品排列展示出来。
应用(4分钟)
神呼召施洗约翰为耶稣预备道路。人若要进入神的国，心里就需要发生改变。约翰告诉百姓，仅仅因为自己是亚伯拉罕的子孙，并不足够。他们还必须承认自己是罪人，并且悔改。约翰的洗礼象征着百姓内心的改变，也显明他们已经预备好迎接弥赛亚，就是那位真正带来罪得赦免的主。当我们接受耶稣进入生命以后，我们顺服祂接受洗礼，表明罪得赦免，并开始过一个新的生活。耶稣说：
“天上地下所有的权柄都赐给我了。所以，你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，奉父、子、圣灵的名给他们施洗；凡我所吩咐你们的，都教训他们遵守，我就常与你们同在，直到世界的末了。”（马太福音 28:18-20）
讨论问题：
施洗约翰的洗礼，与今天一个人决定跟随耶稣以后所接受的洗礼，有哪些相似之处？（让孩子们自由回答。）
神呼召约翰为耶稣预备道路。那么，神呼召我们做什么？（去，使万民作主的门徒，给他们施洗，并教导他们遵守神的命令。）

施洗约翰的事工并没有持续很久。下周，我们会看看他的事工最后是怎样结束的。

"I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." Matthew 3:11 NIV
Divide the class into four teams. If you have a small class, you can have the children work individually or with another child. Assign one part of the verse to each of the teams. Start by having the first team say the first part aloud and then quickly have the other teams say their parts in order. Everyone will say the reference together. Continue this way, going faster and faster until there are no errors or hesitations. Then, switch parts and do it again.
SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)
Introduction:
Today, we are going to read from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke about how John the Baptist prepared the way for the Messiah. John baptized people with water in the Jordan River. It was a time of confession and repentance for the forgiveness of sins. This encouraged the people. It gave them strength and hope. Baptism in the Jordon River did not save them, but it prepared them for the coming of Jesus, the Messiah.
Read Matthew 3:1-11 (John the Baptist Prepares the Way)Discussion Questions:
1. According to Matthew 3:2, what did John the Baptist say in the wilderness? ("Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.")
2. What major prophet foretold of John's coming? (Isaiah.)
3. How would you describe John the Baptist? (He wore clothes made from camel's hair, and he ate locusts and wild honey.)
4. John baptized with water. John said one more powerful than he would come. To whom was John referring? (Jesus.)
5. With what would Jesus baptize people? (With the Holy Spirit and fire.)
Read Luke 3:1-18 (John the Baptist Prepares the Way)
Discussion Questions:
1. What did John the Baptist say would happen to every tree that didn't produce good fruit? (It would be cut down and thrown into the fire.)
2. After the people asked John for advice, what did he say a person with two shirts (tunics) should do? (Share one with a person who had none. And the same goes for food.)
3. What did John the Baptist tell the tax collectors to do? (Collect no more than what was required.)
4. Whom did the people think John the Baptist was? (They thought he was the Messiah.)
5. How did John the Baptist prepare the way for Jesus? (He preached a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins, symbolic of what Jesus would actually do for us. John persuaded the people to live godly lives in preparation for following Jesus.)

ALTERNATE CLASS EXERCISE (15 minutes)
Molding the Words of Isaiah (Activity)
Divide the class into at least three teams and give each team plenty of play dough. Assign each team one of the following phrases from the prophet Isaiah as he describes John the Baptist in Matthew 3:3.
"A voice of one calling in the wilderness"
"Prepare the way for the Lord"
"Make straight paths for him"
Have each team work together to form a visual depiction of their phrase with play dough. When finished, display the teams' creations in the correct order according to the scripture.
APPLICATION (4 minutes)
God called John the Baptist to prepare the way for Jesus. People needed to make a change in their hearts in order to enter God's Kingdom. John told the people that being children of Abraham was not enough. They also had to admit that they were sinners and then repent. John's baptism symbolized the change in the hearts of the people, and showed that they were ready for the Messiah who would bring actual forgiveness. After we receive Jesus into our hearts, we are baptized in obedience to Him for the forgiveness of our sins and to walk a new life.
Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 NIV
Discussion Questions:
1. What is similar between John’s baptism and our contemporary baptisms when someone chooses to follow Jesus? (Allow for answers.)
2. God called John to prepare the way for Jesus. What has God called us to do? (Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them God's commands.)

John's ministry did not last very long. Find out how it ended next week.
