More about these Bible coloring pages

Hearing the kids giggle as they color always warms my heart. Recently, my third graders worked on the Good Shepherd Jesus coloring pages, focusing on how 'I know my sheep' (John 10:14) reminds us of Jesus' care. The pages include images of Jesus with sheep, a lush pasture, and gentle scenes that illustrate His love. I keep a copy of these in my Sunday school binder to use during our lessons. It's a great way to keep them engaged while reinforcing the message of Jesus' guidance and protection in our lives. As they color, they can share what they think makes Jesus a good shepherd, and I love hearing their thoughts.
