From the sermon Good, But Not Good Enough

God's Word

A man came up to Jesus and said, 'Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?' Jesus answered, 'If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.' — Matthew 19:16-22

## Story Time Once there was a young man who thought he was very good. He kept all the rules and did many nice things. But Jesus said only God is truly good. The man needed Jesus to be perfect for him. When we trust Jesus, He gives us His goodness.

## Motion Pat your heart and say, 'Thank You, Jesus, for being my goodness!' Then spin around once.

## Question Can you be perfect all by yourself?

## Coloring Page Draw a picture of Jesus holding your hand because He is the only one who is perfectly good.
