Jesus suffered so much to pay for our sins! As forgiven sinners, we want to find every way we can to express our thankfulness to Jesus. Some people like to express themselves by putting messages on their cars’ license plates. Messages can be funny, cute, or thoughtful. Look at the messages on the license plates below. “Translate” the words in each message and write them below the license plate. Each message will be something important the car’s driver wants others to know. (Hint: JC stands for “Jesus Christ.”)
