More about these coloring pages

When my 9-year-old colored the Matthew 5 7 Merciful coloring page, she spotted a picture of a child helping another. It led to a heartwarming discussion about how we can show mercy every day. The page includes scenes that illustrate Jesus' teaching, such as helping others and showing kindness. One of the images shows someone sharing food, which reminded us of the verse, 'Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy' (Matthew 5:7).
