神信守祂的应许
God keeps His promise

亲爱的父母,
Dear parents,

在本周的课程中,我们将看到上帝如何实现祂对亚伯拉罕的第一个大应许——给他和撒拉一个儿子。
In this week’s lesson, we will see how God fulfilled His first big promise to Abraham – to give him and Sarah a son.

上帝第一次答应亚伯拉罕赐他儿子已经二十四年了。显然,延迟并不是上帝不愿或无法实现祂的应许的迹象(这常常是这种感觉)。延迟反而强调了这样一个事实:当祂确实采取行动来实现祂的承诺时,毫无疑问是全能的上帝完成了这件伟大的事情。
It was 24 years after God first promised Abraham descendants.  Clearly the delay is not a sign of God’s reluctance or inability to fulfil His promise (which is what it often feels like). The delay rather emphasises the fact that when He does act to fulfil His promise there can be no doubt that it is God Almighty who has accomplished this great thing.

亚伯拉罕和撒拉自己承认,从人的角度来看,他们的处境是无可救药的,但全能的上帝做了他所应许的。 他使死者复活——只有上帝才能做到这一点。 
By Abraham and Sarah’s own admission, their situation was beyond hope from a human point of view, yet God Almighty did what He promised to do. He brought life to that which was dead – something only God can do.

For copyright reasons, the activity sheets can be provided only while the lessons are in progress, so that only those who need them can get them, and are no longer available.

这是孩子们在下课后可以做的活动。 请帮助孩子们做:
Here is an activity that the children can do after the class.  Please help them with it:
 
Print the activity sheet for each child to make a book-like new-born birthday card.  Do this by cutting along the solid line and folding and gluing the picture of Abraham bowing down and the picture of Abraham and Sarah with baby Isaac back-to-back. This forms the centre page of the ‘book’. Glue this centre page as marked on the other piece of paper (cover). Now fold the cover page in half along the first dashed line thus closing the ‘book’.  For very young children write “It’s a boy” on the front blank cover — school-age children can do this themselves.  The children colour in the pictures. Help them to open the book and fold the double-page back on the second dashed line to reveal Abraham, Sarah and baby Isaac.
