Dear Parents,
This week, we’ll learn about “The Tower of Babel” (Genesis 11). After the flood, God commanded Noah’s family to spread out and fill the earth. However, the people decided to stay in one place and build a tall tower to make themselves famous. They wanted to bring glory to themselves instead of to God. God saw their disobedience and confused their language, causing them to stop building and scatter across the earth. This story reminds us that we are created to glorify God, not ourselves. One day, Jesus will gather people from every language to worship Him.
I hope this message will inspire your child to grow in the love and light of Jesus. To help reinforce the lesson at home, please discuss the following points with your child:
- The People’s Pride: Talk about how the people wanted to make a name for themselves instead of following God’s plan.
- God’s Response: Explain how God confused their language, causing them to scatter and follow His original command.
- Worshiping God: Discuss how, one day, people from all languages will worship Jesus together as God’s family.
Pray with your child, asking God to help you live for His glory and to follow His plans.
Grace and blessings in Christ,
Danny Sungshin Park
Pastor of Children’s Cell
