More about these Bible coloring pages

Last Friday, my 7-year-old colored this page while I prepared for our Sunday school class. The image of Jesus as the shepherd carrying the lamb really caught her attention. She asked me what it meant to be a good shepherd, and it led to a lovely chat about how Jesus cares for us. In John 10:11, He says, 'I am the good shepherd.' This coloring page shows that truth beautifully. We used colored pencils and took our time, discussing how the shepherd protects his sheep. Each of the 6 images captures a moment from the Good Shepherd story, making it a great resource for teaching kids about love and care. I even printed a few copies for our friends at church!
