Teaching John 6:35 in Sunday School
When teaching children about the Gospel of John, visual aids help reinforce the message. The Bible verse pages provide a hands-on activity while you discuss what it means to never hunger or thirst spiritually. Children can color the large text of John 6:35 while learning about Jesus providing spiritual nourishment. You can use these sheets as a quiet activity during the sermon or as a take-home craft for families to discuss the scripture together during the week.
Christian Symbols and Imagery
The artwork in this collection uses several traditional Christian symbols to represent spiritual food. You will find pages featuring a communion chalice and sacred host, which connect the teaching to the Eucharist. Other designs focus on the everyday elements of the time, such as a woven basket filled with rolls, a sack of wheat grains, and a wooden dough bowl. These familiar items help younger students understand the metaphor of daily bread.
Feeding the Multitude
The teaching of the Bread of Life is closely tied to the miracle of feeding the five thousand. The loaves and fish section illustrates this event, showing the young boy offering his small lunch to the disciples. This story demonstrates how small offerings can be multiplied.
- Use the picture of Jesus blessing the food to discuss gratitude and prayer before meals.
- Color the twelve baskets of leftovers to talk about God's abundant provision.
- Pair these sheets with our fish printables for a complete lesson on the miracle by the Sea of Galilee.
Best Supplies for Bible Verse Pages
For the pages with prominent lettering, colored pencils or fine-tip markers work best to fill in the typography. Crayons are ideal for the simpler scenes of Jesus sharing meals with his followers. If you are printing these for a large classroom, standard copy paper is sufficient, but cardstock is recommended if the children plan to paint the sacred host or use wet media.
