More about these coloring pages

My 7-year-old colored the first image, which shows Jesus speaking to the crowd, and asked why the people looked so happy. I explained how Jesus shared the message, 'Blessed are the poor in spirit' (Matthew 5:3), and we discussed what it means to be humble. This coloring page features 6 delightful illustrations, including scenes of kindness and compassion that kids can relate to. We even used glittery crayons to make it pop. After coloring, I asked my kids how they can show kindness to others. They came up with great ideas like helping a friend or sharing toys. It turned into a beautiful moment of sharing values while being creative. The Beatitudes Matthew 5 coloring page for kids is a fantastic way to reinforce these lessons at home or in the classroom. My 5-year-old especially loved the image of the smiling children, reminding us how joy comes from being loving and humble.
