Children's Message
"What Makes a Person a Christian?"
We Hear God's Word
First Lesson: Revelations 7:9-17
(Pew Bible Page – 1124)
The book of Revelation is written to seven churches in western Asia Minor during a time
of great oppression. Today's reading is a response to the question asked in 6:17: "Who is
able to stand?" The writer gives the faithful the assurance of God's protection and a
vision of victory.
Second Lesson: 1 John 3:1-3
(Pew Bible Page – 1113)
A saint is one who has been set apart by God for God's purposes. God, out of divine love, set us
apart to be the children of God. Our holy hope is that we shall see God as God really is.
Gospel Acclamation – page 151
Holy Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12
(Pew Bible Page – 882)
In the beatitudes, Jesus provides a unique description of those who are blessed with God's
favor. His teaching is surprising and shocking to those who seek wealth, fame, and control
over others.

Lord.
