Craft Activities for Children: Jesus is the King (John 18: 33-37) 


Craft Ideas for John 18 Jesus is king of all Nation


This lesson celebrates that Jesus is the king, not of an Earthly kingdom, but of Heaven and of our lives. His reign has no end and His throne no limit, and we can honor Him as Lord and ruler of all. These crafts honor Christ as King and recall how He guides us with His light. A “Light the Way Candle” reminds us that Jesus is our light and guide. A decorative “Cross Crown” considers the way Jesus ruled, and His kingdom not of this world. Let’s get crafty!

Bible Verses or Captions to Consider…  (John 18:33-37)

The Lord reigns; he is robed in majesty;
    the Lord is robed; he has put on strength as his belt.
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.   -Psalm 93:1


Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”  -John 18:36 

His kingdom is not of this world…
