Kid Buffet

Read 2 Kings 2:23–25

It’s not your typical Sunday school lesson unless your Sunday school meets in a log cabin and serves hot fear for breakfast.

In 2 Kings, a pack of kids made fun of Elisha for being bald. He didn’t turn the other cheek. He didn’t issue a gentle correction. He called down a curse, and two bears came out of the woods wearing their business socks.

Maybe the point isn’t that God has anger issues or a soft spot for bears. Maybe it’s that when God assigns someone a job, He also hires security. And in this case, the bouncers had claws and didn’t check IDs.

Questions for the week?

1# Are you raising respectful children or training future bear snacks?

2# Are you teaching reverence or just hoping fear will do the job?
