About this Bible story
After Jesus' ascension, the apostles needed to choose a new disciple. They prayed and cast lots to see who would join them, and 'the lot fell to Matthias' (Acts 1:26). This shows how important it is to follow God's guidance.
“The lot fell to Matthias.”
How to Use These Coloring Pages
During coloring, ask the kids, 'What do you think it means to be chosen by God?' Highlight the moment when the apostles prayed before choosing Matthias, which shows the importance of seeking God's will. Consider setting up a prayer corner for kids to write or draw their own prayers after they finish coloring.

More about these Bible coloring pages
While reviewing the Matthias Apostle story, my 10-year-old was fascinated by how the apostles selected Matthias. She pointed out the image of the apostles praying together, which sparked a conversation about the importance of unity in decision-making. We also discussed how 'the lot fell to Matthias' (Acts 1:26) and what that meant for the early church. Coloring these pages gives kids a chance to reflect on Matthias' commitment as they fill in the vibrant images. These pages are simple enough for younger kids but detailed enough to keep my 8-year-old focused for quite a while. It’s an ideal activity for our Wednesday evening Bible study group.
