Text: John 13:31-38
The story of Adam and Eve was being carefully explained in the children's Sunday School class. Following the story, the children were asked to draw some picture that would illustrate the story.

That is why the Lord said 'What you do, do it quickly" to start the events that will culminate in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ!
When Judas leaves, the Lord gives His exclusive words to the true apostles! Judas is gone, and all that are left are the true followers in Chri ...
