More about these Bible coloring pages

While my 10-year-old colored Zacchaeus, she asked why Jesus cared so much about him. We discussed how everyone deserves love, even those who make mistakes. Each of the six images shows different parts of the story, like Zacchaeus in the tree, and the moment Jesus calls him down, saying, 'Zacchaeus, come down immediately.' (Luke 19:5) It sparked a beautiful conversation about kindness and forgiveness. We used crayons and markers from our art box, and it turned into a fun afternoon activity. My kids loved sharing their colorful creations with the family afterward, too!
