More about these Bible coloring pages

Last Wednesday, my 7-year-old colored this rich young ruler coloring page and asked why the man didn’t want to follow Jesus. We talked about the importance of putting God before everything else. The page includes six engaging images that show the young ruler talking to Jesus and thinking about his wealth. As we colored, we remembered Jesus' words, 'One thing you lack' (Mark 10:21), reminding us of what truly matters in our lives. These pages are a great way for kids to reflect on the rich young ruler Bible story while they create. I love using them during Sunday school to spark discussions about priorities and faith.
