More about these Bible coloring pages
Last Sunday, my class colored images that brought the Absalom story to life. One image showed David in deep sorrow, crying, 'O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom!' (2 Samuel 18:33), which really resonated with the kids. They asked questions about loyalty and family, which made for great discussions. I also had them color Absalom's grand hair and the battle scene, which sparked their imagination. Each of the six images in this set helps illustrate the important lessons of love and consequence found in Absalom's story. I've printed copies to keep in my Sunday school binder for future lessons, and the kids love revisiting this story over time.
