"And I will remember My covenant."-Genesis 9:15
    
    Mark the form of the promise. God does not say, "And when ye shall look upon the bow, and ye shall remember My covenant, then I will not destroy the earth," but it is gloriously put, not upon our memory, which is fickle and frail, but upon God's memory, which is infinite and immutable. "The bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant." Oh! it is not my remembering God, it is God's remembering me which is the ground of my safety; it is not my laying hold of His covenant, but His covenant's laying hold on me. Glory be to God! the whole of the bulwarks of salvation are secured by divine power, and even the minor towers, which we may imagine might have been left to man, are guarded by almighty strength. Even the remembrance of the covenant is not left to our memories, for we might forget, but our Lord cannot forget the saints whom He has graven on the palms of His hands. It is with us as with Israel in Egypt; the blood was upon the lintel and the two side-posts, but the Lord did not say, "When you see the blood I will pass over you," but "When I see the blood I will pass over you." My looking to Jesus brings me joy and peace, but it is God's looking to Jesus which secures my salvation and that of all His elect, since it is impossible for our God to look at Christ, our bleeding Surety, and then to be angry with us for sins already punished in Him. No, it is not left with us even to be saved by remembering the covenant. There is no linsey-wolsey here-not a single thread of the creature mars the fabric. It is not of man, neither by man, but of the Lord alone. We should remember the covenant, and we shall do it, through divine grace; but the hinge of our safety does not hang there-it is God's remembering us, not our remembering Him; and hence the covenant is an everlasting covenant.

Jesus Sees Us Doll & Book review with $10 discount @ Amazon

How do you introduce your child to Jesus?

Imagine your children took the same interest and wonder in Jesus and the Christian message as they did in princesses, fairies, and elves… Jesus Sees Us is a packaged Jesus Christ doll that has the same comforting power as a child’s favorite toy or blanket, but is rooted in lessons that last a lifetime. Children respond to the comfort of tangible items when they are young, so why not make that item Jesus and the comfort He gives to ignite their faith? The accompanying book is a tool to assist you in engaging your child and starting the conversation about Jesus’ teachings.

By the time a child turns three years old, he or she already has the capability to relate to Jesus. Children can understand that, like them, Jesus was a baby with parents who loved Him. They can understand that Jesus grew up to be a man who loved everyone and taught people to do the same. Children become excited and inquisitive when they can master these facts, ultimately making them more open to deeper conversations and ideas about faith.

The Jesus Sees Us doll is an integral part of fostering your child’s initial introduction to Jesus. Even though we talk to our children about Jesus or take them to Sunday services, they are not always able to understand the importance of the Christian message. Jesus Sees Us is a tool that makes Jesus, His teachings, and the concept of faith both relatable and positive to young children by introducing Him as the loving and forgiving presence in our lives. The doll becomes the tangible connection to the stories and lessons in the book. He is the touchable source of comfort that a child can relate to. The Jesus Sees Us doll has a soft body and a warm, welcoming face. His arms and hands are open, inviting your child to hold him, engage with him, and pray with him. The Jesus Sees Us doll allows your child to “play out” the valuable and timeless lessons of the Bible. 


With Easter fast approaching I have this beautiful offer.  What better thing for your young ones to find on Easter Sunday morning than a Jesus doll and book about Jesus.  This doll says Happy Resurrection (not literally) but can't you just see it with his arms spread wide. What better way to teach a child that God is with us than to have a doll that they can carry everywhere with them.  A beautiful tool!  I'm going to add mine to the church nursery.  The book is wonderful too.  It has short little stories teaching your little ones about Jesus and the good He wants us to do. The thing I like most is that you can use any Bible version you wish to read.  The scripture that is shown is just the verse address. (You can see this in the picture above the scripture verse address is in the banner on the bottom right hand page.  This is how the whole book is set up.)  No scripture quoted.   I know everyone has their preference of Bible versions.   The lessons included in this book are:
  • Share with others
  • Respect Adults
  • Show Love to others
  • Forgive others
  • Be a peacemaker
  • Prayer
  • Having faith and trust in God
  • Helping others
  • Helping the sick
  • Telling the truth
This book will also go into the church nursery.  The illustrations are big, bold and colorful.  They are bond to keep young ones attention.  Visit Jesus Sees Us web site here. 

About the doll:

Appropriate for Ages 2-6+ / SRP $35
