Unit 17, Session 2
Rebuilding the Temple (Ezra 4-6; Haggai 1-2)
Hey volunteers! This week we will be diving into the story of God’s people rebuilding the temple. After opposition caused the work to stop, God sent Haggai to remind His people to put Him first, and they faithfully returned to rebuilding. The temple was important because it represented God dwelling with His people.But the story points us to something even greater: when Jesus died on the cross, the temple curtain was torn, showing that Jesus made the way for us to have direct access to God. As you teach, remind kids that God desires to be with His people, and through Jesus, we can know Him and experience His presence forever.
