More about these Bible coloring pages
Last Tuesday, my son, who's 9, sat at the kitchen table with crayons scattered everywhere. As he colored the dove descending from heaven, he asked about what it meant. We talked about how God spoke during Jesus' baptism, saying, 'This is my Son, whom I love.' (Matthew 3:17) The images on this page capture that moment beautifully, including Jesus in the water and the dove above. It’s a great way for kids to visualize the story while they color. I plan to use these pages for our upcoming Sunday school class, where we’ll discuss the importance of baptism and how it connects to our faith.
