Some kids love because he can fly… Many kids like and the tools of a spy. Hulk smashes through walls without even a try. But Jesus Christ is my favorite hero – I’ll tell you why, and how you too can become a superhero for the Kingdom of God. Jesus Christ The Real Superhero

All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children.

Isaiah 54:13

Do YOU like Superheroes?

How many of you have seen a movie or a cartoon about a superhero?

Who here likes Superman? Who likes Spiderman? Is there anyone here who likes Batman? Those are just a few of the most popular superheroes.

But these super heroes are all just characters on TV and in books. There is one REAL Superhero who actually lived on Earth just like you and me, and His name is JESUS!

TEACHERS: Remember to make it fun and interactive. Go as slow as you need to. The early objective is to distinguish between fictional superheroes (like Superman) and a real life superhero (Jesus Christ). Please feel free to refer to the scriptures (in the boxes at the bottom of each page) to add meaning and depth to your lessons, especially for the older children. THE JESUS SUPERHERO STORY

You might know that God is the creator of all things -- the earth, the moon, the stars, the sun, the sky, the trees, the animals, and the entire universe…

But did you know God has a son? Did you know that his son lived right here, on earth, as just a mortal man? That’s Jesus! And He is my favorite superhero of all-time.

Two thousand years ago, God sent Jesus down to Earth to communicate with His people. Here is what happened.

IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH. (GENESIS 1)

TEACHERS: “Has anyone here learned about or heard about Jesus Christ?” “What do you know about Him?”

“THE LORD GOD TOOK A HANDFUL OF SOIL AND MADE A MAN. GOD BREATHED LIFE INTO THE MAN, AND THE MAN STARTED BREATHING.” (GENESIS 2:7) The first man God created was named Adam. He lived in a beautiful garden of paradise with the prettiest fl owers and all different kinds of animals. He also lived with the first woman God created. Her name was Eve.

God gave the first man and woman the power to rule the world like a king and queen. They could have anything they wanted in life and would enjoy pure happiness forever. God only asked for one thing. “Do not eat the apple on the tree in the Garden of Eden,” He said.

One day, the evil angel Satan tempted Eve to disobey God by eating the forbidden apple. Eve shared the forbidden fruit with Adam.

By not listening to God, Adam and Eve brought sin to Earth. Because of that first sin, we have things like earthquakes, sickness, death, suffering, lying, and war. It seemed like people would be doomed to unhappiness forever! But no, God is merciful and forgiving. He is kind and loving.

He so wanted His people to be happy and to live closer to Him at his house in Heaven that He sent his own son, Jesus, on a mission to Earth to save us from evil.

As the Son of God, Jesus is perfect and pure. He chose to come down as a regular person – just like you or me – because He wanted to show us that He loves us. He loves us so much that He died for all of us, so we could live and learn about the Kingdom of Heaven.

In this book, you’ll learn all about Jesus: The Real Superhero.

I’ll also teach you how to be a superhero too!

“THE LORD IS GRACIOUS, AND FULL OF COMPASSION; SLOW TO ANGER, AND OF GREAT MERCY.” (PSALMS 145:8)

“FOR THIS IS HOW GOD LOVED THE WORLD: HE GAVE HIS UNIQUE SON SO THAT EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM MIGHT NOT BE LOST BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.” (JOHN 3:16)

WHAT IS A SUPERHERO?

A superhero is someone we all want to be like.

Superheroes are kind, strong and brave. Superheroes can help others and amaze people.

Superheroes are not afraid of anything. They are famous and loved by all people for the good that they do in the world.

We can all be superheroes. I’ll show you how!

Jesus wants YOU to join Him!

TEACHERS: “Raise your hand if you’d like to be a Superhero.” “Ok, let’s first look at the rules of what makes a good superhero.” SUPERHERO RULE 1: YOU MUST BE STRONG

Superman was more powerful than a locomotive. He could crush diamonds with his bare hands and bend a steel bar. Did you know Superman could lift mountains and move planets? Wow, that sure is strong!

Jesus is very strong too. He once carried a wooden cross that weighed more than 300 pounds for half a mile. Jesus does not just move physical objects. He can move any sadness, anger, or fear away from you too.

Remember this saying: “As you travel life’s weary road, let Jesus lift your heavy load.” Jesus is a friend who wants you to feel light, care-free and happy. It is often said that the love of Jesus can move mountains and overcome death.

“HAVE I NOT COMMANDED YOU? BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS. DO NOT BE FRIGHTENED, AND DO NOT BE DISMAYED, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.” (JOSHUA 1:9)

SUPERHERO RULE 2: YOU MUST BE KIND, GENEROUS AND JUST

Spiderman was very kind. He saved Mary Jane from danger. He even helped her with math homework. He also helped his aunt pay for her apartment. Whenever he sees someone in need, he stops what he is doing to help. As Spiderman’s Uncle Ben once said, “If you can do good things for other people, you have a moral obligation to do those things.”

Jesus has too many acts of kindness to list!

One time, there was a man who had a disease where his fl esh rotted off the bone. He looked really gross, so no one in the village wanted to talk to him. But Jesus did. He loves all people equal. Jesus performed a miracle by putting his hands onto the man and curing him of his sickness. “BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS,...” (GALATIANS 5:22) “Look, I Am Sending You Out As Sheep Among Wolves. So Be As Shrewd As Snakes And Harmless As Doves.” (Matthew 10:16) SUPERHERO RULE 3: YOU NEED TO BE SMART

Mr. Fantastic was a child genius in math, physics and mechanics. He was taking college classes by the time he was 14 years old. He went to some of the best colleges in America – like Columbia and Harvard. Mr. Fantastic was so smart he built his own spaceship!

Jesus was so wise that he was a teacher. Thousands of people would travel to listen to the words of wisdom Jesus spoke.

Because Jesus is the Son of God, he knows everything that God knows.

He knows about everything that happened in the past history of the world, but he also knows about everything that will happen in the future. Even though you are just getting to know Jesus, he knows everything about you.

Jesus wants all of us to be smart just like Him.

TEACHERS: “Do you think Jesus knows what you’re thinking right now?” SUPERHERO RULE 4: YOU MUST BE BRAVE

Captain America is considered the bravest of all superheroes. He was willing to take an experimental serum that would make him into the perfect soldier. Most of his enemies were torturers and mutants made by accident in laboratories. Captain America even fought when he knew his superpower serum had worn off. Captain America was so brave that other superheroes like Wolverine, Thor and the Human Torch would follow him into battle.

Jesus was so brave that He sacrificed everything for us. Jesus died on the cross to save us from all our sins. Jesus had to fight the scariest and most evil of all enemies – Satan.

While Jesus was in the wild by himself for 40 days and nights, the devil tried to test him. The devil promised to give Jesus all the power and glory of the

“SO HUMBLE YOURSELVES BEFORE GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL, AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU.” (JAMES 4:7)

TEACHERS: “Who thinks Jesus Christ is really brave?” Does anyone know why Jesus died? “Raise your hand if you want to be strong, kind, smart and brave just like Him!” world if He turned to the dark side. Jesus resisted and said, “The Scriptures say, ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve only Him!’”

Finally, the devil dared Jesus to jump off a cliff, saying that God and the angels would catch Him if He were truly the Son of God. Jesus resisted and said, “Do not try to test the Lord your God!”

Jesus inspires us to resist temptation and evil to do what is courageous and right. SUPERHERO RULE 5: YOU MUST HAVE SPECIAL SUPER POWERS

Superhero powers may include fl ying, super strength, super speed, shape-shifting, mind reading, controlling the weather, and regeneration – to name a few. One of the coolest super powers is the ability to teleport like Thor. One time Thor teleported to the wasteland of Nastrond to help Iron Man dispose of a bomb that would destroy our entire solar system.

Jesus is famous for performing countless miracles and using his superhero powers for good. He could make blind men see and people in wheelchairs walk – if they believed in Him. He put a soldier’s cut-off ear back onto his head with his touch. He raised his friend, Lazarus, from the dead. Jesus can command storms to stop raging, move mountains, and walk on top of water! Another time, he fed thousands of people using just a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish.

Jesus can create miracles in your life, too, if you believe in Him and ask for His help. (Later in this book, we’ll show you how you can call on Jesus whenever you need Him!)

TEACHERS: Have any of your friends or family members ever talked about a miracle Jesus performed in their lives?” “WHAT DO YOU MEAN, ‘IF I CAN’?” JESUS ASKED. “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF A PERSON BELIEVES.” (MARK 9:23) SUPERHERO RULE 6: YOU NEED COOL WEAPONS

Batman had the coolest bunch of weapons, gadgets and vehicles of any superhero. What’s neat about Batman was that he was just a man, with no real super powers. He was able to use technology instead. His utility belt held a grappling gun that helped him climb up the side of walls. He also had fl amethrowers, smoke pellets, freeze grenades, listening devices, lock picks, lasers, night vision goggles, bat darts, and many other toys used to fight the bad guys.

Jesus didn’t believe in using weapons to hurt people. Instead, he used spiritual weapons to disarm his opponents. He used stories and teachings to change His enemies’ hearts. He invites everyone to follow his good example and fight without hurting others. If you decide to follow Jesus and be a superhero for his kingdom, He’s going to give each of you spiritual weapons to use in the battle against evil.

TEACHERS: “Raise your hand if you would like to know what spiritual weapons Jesus has.” “If you decide to become a Superhero for Jesus, He will give you some super cool spiritual weapons too!” “WE USE GOD’S MIGHTY WEAPONS, NOT WORLDLY WEAPONS, TO KNOCK DOWN THE STRONGHOLDS OF HUMAN REASONING AND TO DESTROY FALSE ARGUMENTS.” (2 CORINTHIANS 10:4) “NOW THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST TOOK PLACE IN THIS WAY. WHEN HIS MOTHER MARY HAD BEEN BETROTHED TO JOSEPH, BEFORE THEY CAME TOGETHER SHE WAS FOUND TO BE WITH CHILD FROM THE HOLY SPIRIT.” (MATTHEW 1:18) SUPERHERO RULE 7: YOU SHOULD HAVE AN INTERESTING PAST AND EMBRACE YOUR FAMILY’S HERITAGE

Every superhero has a cool history. Sometimes ordinary people are splashed with toxic chemicals that have strange effects – like the Hulk or Daredevil. Other times, it seems fate has chosen the characters for a higher mission. For instance, the was once a test pilot named Hal Jordan – until a dying alien named named “Abin Sur” gave him a power ring and the task of overseeing a league of space police.

Jesus arrived in Mary’s tummy unexpectedly one day, as a gift from God. Angels visited Mary to let her know that she should not feel afraid.

Before Jesus was born, many prophets predicted His arrival. This scared King Herod, who believed Jesus would take his place, so he sent a group of men to find and kill baby Jesus. Yet, when the wise men found Jesus born in a barn with animals, they brought gifts and sang His praise instead. For years, Jesus lived like an ordinary carpenter’s son. He conducted his first sermon in a temple at age 15 and started on his mission thereafter. SUPERHERO RULE 8: YOUR IDENTITY IS SOMETIMES HIDDEN

Superman was Clark Kent. Spiderman was Peter Parker. Batman was Bruce Wayne. Superheroes wear costumes to hide their true identities. They don’t want reward money or praise in the newspapers. They just want to stop crime. Sometimes superheroes live in cool places like laboratories or caves.

In the Bible, Jesus didn’t walk around calling Himself “God.” Even though he was an amazing superhero, He wanted to blend in with regular people and make friends on Earth. Jesus is always present. In fact, He is sitting right beside you right now!

Gods uses something called “The Holy Spirit” to talk to you. It is the part of your mind and spirit that is joined with the Mind of God. Throughout your life, you will become aware of the Holy Spirit in different ways – through your thinking, correcting a thought with this Voice, recognizing this Voice in another, sharing this Voice with a friend, and so on. The teachings and unconditional love of Jesus are cloaked by the Holy Spirit.

“ASK ME AND I WILL TELL YOU REMARKABLE SECRETS YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THINGS TO COME.” (JEREMIAH 33:3)

INSTRUCORS: “Have any of you ever heard Jesus speak to you?” If you become a Superhero for Jesus just believe and listen very carefully, you just might hear the word of God speaking to you! As clearly as the city of Gotham saw the bat logo in the sky, you will call on Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit who work supernaturally in your life. “I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD. THE GOOD SHEPHERD SACRIFICES HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP.” (JOHN 10:11) SUPERHERO RULE 9: YOU MUST HAVE A MISSION TO DO GOOD

Every superhero has a commitment to justice, but Charles Francis Xavier sought out his fellow mutants after the whole world had turned against them. He created a special school where mutants could learn to use their powers for good and be surrounded by other people who were like them. Professor X, as he was called in the X-Men movies, dedicated his life to protecting humans from evil mutants, so there could be peaceful coexistence.

Jesus is called “The Good Shepherd” because he came down to Earth on a mission to rescue His wayward fl ock of sinners.

He came to show the light to people who were lost and couldn’t find their way. He revealed the existence of Heaven and the Holy Spirit to doubters and disbelievers. Jesus also has a mission for you. It’s our mission to make a better world by sharing peace, love and spirituality with our fellow people. SUPERHERO RULE 10: YOU NEED SIDEKICKS

Sometimes the ills of the world are too great for one person to take on their own. Sure, there were “dynamic duos” like Batman and Robin, Aquaman and Aquagirl, or Captain America and Bucky… but the best superhero forces were the larger teams like The Avengers, The X-Men, The Fantastic Four, The , The Watchmen, and The Defenders. These superhero armies were unstoppable!

Jesus had twelve friends called “the disciples” who were considered His sidekicks. After Jesus died and ascended to Heaven, these good friends spread the word and were empowered to perform miracles. Yet, like any good superhero, Jesus is always recruiting to build an unstoppable team of heroes who want to spread the power of good in the world.

He wants you to become a Superhero just like his first 12 disciples!

TEACHERS: “Can anyone share who their favorite superhero is and why?” Relate their answer back to Jesus Christ. Affirm that he is a REAL LIFE superhero, versus a fictional character. “GO THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.” (MATTHEW 28:19)

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A SUPERHERO?

Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior is the only REAL Superhero of our time! Did you know he wants little boys and girls like you to become superheroes just like Him to help Him grow His Kingdom and protect it from the evil forces? He would like each and every one of YOU to join Him in fighting evil, spreading His message of love, and inviting more people into the kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to people like these” (Matthew 19:14).

If you decide to join Jesus in growing His kingdom and protecting it from evil forces He will share many secrets with you, so you can become a superhero too. We can all be superheroes today and bring glory to God by doing good works and loving people.

TEACHERS:“Who wants to share a secret with Jesus? Who wants to do good works of kindness to help others? Who wants to be nicer and more loving to people?” SUPERHEROES ARE BRIGHT LIGHTS THAT SHOW US THE RIGHT PATH

Do you ever find yourself staring at a beautiful light?

Maybe it’s the fl ame of a candle or the glow of a campfire. Maybe you enjoy looking at your Christmas tree lights or a brilliant sunset. We are attracted to the light. We are warmed by the light. Where would our world be without light? It would be a dark, scary and uncertain place! When a ship is sailing in the ocean, the captain looks for a lighthouse to show him the way.

Jesus wants every superhero for the Kingdom of God to shine bright like a light in the world. He wants you to shine like a lighthouse to show other people the way to lead a good and righteous life. You can be like a fl ashlight, illuminating the path to eternal happiness in the glorious realm of Heaven, where there is no pain, sadness, or suffering – where there is only happiness, fun, and beauty. Luckily, when Jesus came to Earth, he told us how to be a light for others and how to be a superhero just like Him. You don’t have to be perfect like Jesus to be a superhero. You just have to try your best!

Are you ready to hear about how to be a superhero for the Kingdom of God? LIVE LIKE A SUPERHERO FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD EVERYDAY

1. ALWAYS BE HONEST

Jesus always wants you to be honest with people and tell the truth. This includes your parents, teachers and friends. Remember, Jesus is a powerful superhero. He can see and hear everything. He is always watching you. Make Him proud and always be honest. Never tell a lie. Can you think of a time when you told the truth, even though it was hard?

WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS ABOUT HONESTY? Honesty makes a good person’s life easier, but the wicked will cause his or her own downfall. (Proverbs 11:5)

2. ALWAYS BE KIND

Jesus wants you to be kind to your family, your friends, your classmates, and everyone that you meet. He wants you to be kind to animals and all of His creation. A superhero treats others how he or she wants to be treated. We can be kind by comforting someone who is feeling sad or left out.

TEACHERS: Hand out pencils to have kids fills in their answers – or, if they are younger, do it for them. We want them to feel a sense of pride by answering the questions and knowing they have already fulfilled some of the requirements to being a superhero for Christ. We can be kind by giving a hug or doing a chore. We can be kind by sharing our toys. We can be kind by spending time with a person who needs a friend. We can be kind by giving food, clothing, shelter and service to someone in need. Even if someone is mean to us, we should only be nice and kind in return. We can be kind by forgiving someone who hurt us.

WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS ABOUT KINDNESS? Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:32)

3. ALWAYS BE EMPATHETIC

What does this mean? Empathy is sharing in the feelings of others. You are empathetic when you ask yourself, “How would I feel in another person’s situation?” You are empathetic when you treat others with compassion and understanding. If someone says something mean to you, take a moment to think before just reacting. Maybe that person is having a bad day. Maybe that person is hungry, cold, or uncomfortable. Maybe that person does not understand what you mean. Always try to be patient and tolerant. Listen to others and ask how they feel.

Can you tell us about a time where you shared in the feelings of others?

WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS ABOUT EMPATHY? Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. (Romans 12:15) 4. ALWAYS BE HARD-WORKING

What good would a superhero be if he were a couch potato?

Superheroes need to be active and hard-working. Jesus never sat at home and played games. He was always visiting others and working to fulfill his Father’s destiny. Whether it’s studying in school, doing chores to help your mom and dad, volunteering to feed the hungry or take care of stray animals, or working a job to earn money for your family, you should always work hard and do your best. We shouldn’t complain when our parents ask us to do our chores because God is watching and helping us build up our superhuman strength. Can you tell us about a time where you worked really hard?

WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS ABOUT HARD WORK? I can do all things through him who strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13)

5. ALWAYS BE FAITHFUL

Serve the Lord faithfully. Believe in Him. Believe in the Kingdom of Heaven. Believe that Jesus loves you and came down to Earth to heal the sins of the world. You will meet people who do not have Faith. They might not believe what you say about God because they do not really understand. At times, you might forget about God’s promise of Heaven. You might feel doubtful that you can be a superhero like Jesus. Having Faith means believing that Jesus is here with you -- even though you can’t see Him, hear Him, or hug him. If you are patient and do what is right, you might begin to notice very secret ways that Jesus communicates with you.

Another way to be faithful is to say a prayer to God or Jesus in your own words. Write a prayer. It could be a prayer to thank God for something you are happy about or a prayer to ask God for something you need in life. Remember, God and Jesus are always listening.

WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS ABOUT FAITHFULNESS? But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness (Galatians 5:22-23) ACTIVATING YOUR SUPERHERO POWERS

We activate our super powers through Discipline and Obedience. Jesus told his twelve original Superheroes, the Disciples, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” It is very important that you bring the teachings of Jesus with you in your heart, everywhere you go. When you start practicing these characteristics that Jesus demands of his superheroes, you will notice many amazing blessings come to you in life. You will begin to see miracles happening all around you.

In Ephesians 6:1-3, the Scripture says, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother’—which is the first commandment with a promise— so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”

In Hebrews 12:5-8, God tells us “My children, don’t think the Lord’s discipline is worth nothing, and don’t stop trying when he corrects you. 6 The Lord disciplines everyone he loves; he punishes everyone he accepts as a child.”

You might have moments when you feel weak, scared and alone. That is when you must lift your superhero ring to the sky and say these words, “The Lord’s Prayer.”This special prayer is a gift from Jesus to help you activate your superhero powers.

YOUR FINAL STEPS TO BECOMING A SUPERHERO

You now need to memorize “The Lord’s Prayer.” Once you have done that, you need to recite it to a Senior Superhero. THE LORD’S PRAYER Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours. Now and for ever. Amen Matthew 6:9-13 TEACHERS: This is a crucial step in becoming a superhero for Jesus. We recommend going through the prayer with the kids, line by line. Make the memorization of each line a homework assignment between sessions. Have the kids prepared to recite the prayer. Please complete this before moving to the next step.

Now that you are a Superhero for Jesus ...you might need His help to battle evil or help others to do the right thing.

Keep up the good work!

BUT I ASK, “DIDN’T THEY HEAR THAT MESSAGE?” CERTAINLY THEY DID! “THE VOICE OF THE MESSENGERS HAS GONE OUT INTO THE WHOLE WORLD AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.” (ROMANS 10:18) WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOUNG SUPERHEROES-IN-TRAINING?

Once you activate your super powers by lifting your arm to the sky and saying “The Lord’s Prayer,” Jesus will give you some super cool weapons!

You can use the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God: the Bible. This is not a piece of armor we wear, but we can protect ourselves by using scripture as our moral guide. In Hebrews 4:12, we’re told, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double- edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

Another cool weapon Jesus carries is the Helmet of Salvation. We must keep in mind that Jesus died for our sins, so we can enjoy a wonderful eternity in Heaven. Looking forward to that special day when we can live with Jesus, God and everyone we’ve ever loved in Heaven will protect our minds from all the sadness and struggles in the world. Yes, we will experience pain, sadness, anger, unhappiness and frustration on Earth. But God will wipe every tear from your eye and fill your heart with eternal victory. How glorious that will be!

Lastly, you must carry the Shield of Faith with you. In Ephesians 6:16, we’re told: “Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.” Faith is the confidence we have in God. We can take up our Shield of Faith by speaking to others about God (2 Timothy 1:6-8), by doing good works, by praying for the sick, by attending Christian gatherings (Hebrews 10:24-25), by listening to others share their testimonies from His Word (2 Peter 1:13), and by studying the lives of other men and women of faith (2 Peter 3:1-2).

TEACHERS: “What is your favorite superhero weapon and why?” (Share a story about one of Jesus’ superhero weapons you’ve used recently.) THE REWARD FOR BEING A SUPERHERO OF GOD’S KINGDOM

Now that you are a superhero, Jesus wants to share with you the biggest surprise and secret of all!

You will live for Eternity in Heaven, the Kingdom of God! This is where all good superheroes go after they have lived on Earth like Jesus, spreading truth and kind actions in their communities.

A superhero never dies! Superheroes go to Heaven.

What do the scriptures say about Heaven? Some descriptions have been revealed to us about this superhero hideout: There are no tears, no death, no sorrow, no crying, and no pain. (Revelations 21:4)

We will hear God’s voice, which will sound like “the voice of many waters and loud thunder.” (Revelation 14:2)

The twelve gates of heaven are made from gleaming white pearl. The 200-foot-thick walls surrounding the TEACHERS: “Do you know anyone who lives in Heaven?” “Draw a picture of what you think Heaven looks like.” Provide paper & crayons. Kingdom of Heaven are made of pure gold. The streets are made from gold as clear and shiny as glass. (Revelation 21:10-27)

Doesn’t Heaven sound like a wonderful place? JESUS CHRIST THE REAL SUPERHERO Copyright and trademark pending. All rights reserved 2014. Published in the USA. JESUS CHRIST THE REAL SUPERHERO
