Announce to the children that you want each of them to think hard of something that they want very, very much. Let each child tell his or her "want" to the class. After this is done, ask the group what they think Jesus wants very, very much. Then focus on explaining to the children that what Jesus wants most is to forgive them of their sins so that they can live with Him forever. If they do not have their sins forgiven, they cannot go to heaven to live with God. Instead, they must be punished by going to a lake of fire where Satan will also be punished. God, however, does wants them to be forgiven. Express that if Jesus had not wanted to forgive them so very much, He would never have come to be their Savior. During this time of prayer, allow each child to tell Jesus that they glad Jesus wants so much to forgive them.
