More about these Bible coloring pages
Hearing the crayon tips scratch against the paper always brings a smile. When we colored the James The Greater pages, my students learned about his role as one of Jesus' disciples. The images depict moments from his life, including the moment mentioned in Acts 12:2, where 'He had James, the brother of John, put to death.' It’s a vivid reminder of the early church's trials. I keep these pages in my Sunday school binder, ready for whenever I teach this lesson. Last week, my 8-year-old son even joined in and colored one during family time, asking about James' faith. The illustrations not only kept him engaged but also sparked wonderful discussions about bravery in faith. Coloring these pages is a fantastic way for kids to visually connect with the story and remember its messages.
