👑 Kingdom Kids Devotional — Day 1

Day 1

“Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to Him, and He began to teach them.”
— Matthew 5:1–2 (adapted from NASB1995)

🏞 Time to Listen

Have you ever sat down to listen to someone really important—maybe a parent, a teacher, or a coach? When Jesus sat on the mountain, His disciples knew it was time to listen. Not because He yelled or raised His hand. But because His words were powerful and full of love.

Jesus wasn’t about to give a boring lesson. He was about to tell His friends how to live like they belonged to God’s Kingdom—a Kingdom where kindness, love, and truth are stronger than anything in the world.

And guess what? Jesus still wants to teach you today! You don’t need to be grown up to be part of His Kingdom. You just need a listening heart.

🧺 A Long Time Ago…

Did you know that a long time ago, boys and girls who followed Jesus had to meet in secret? They didn’t have big churches or fun kids’ rooms. They gathered in homes, caves, or quiet outdoor places—just to hear about Jesus. And many of them, just like you, loved learning about Him with their families. They were brave. They loved God more than anything else!

💖 Think About It:

• What do you think Jesus sounded like when He taught?
• If Jesus sat with you today, would you stop and listen?

🙏 Let’s Pray:

Dear Jesus, thank You for being our teacher. I want to hear Your words and follow You. Help me to stop and listen, and to love Your ways more than anything else. Amen.
