Forgiveness Themes

In this story is the wonderful lesson of forgiveness.
VeggieTown Family Values VBS (1998-2001) material used the story of Zaccheus to help children understand forgiveness.
The aim "I can forgive others because God can forgive me."
We see the need for forgiveness throughout this story. Zach' need for forgiveness from God. Forgiveness to those who have scorned him. Forgivenss of those he has cheated. Those in the crowd also need to seek forgiveness for their attitudes.
They suggest using the additional verse - Ephesians 4:32.
This VBS curriculum had some good thoughts to share on this as well as good discussion questions for the kids to think on.

Moderator added following comment: VeggieTales has a DVD called "God Wants Me to Forgive Them?!", more details about this DVD here in the Unforgiving Servant forum.
