As we journey through Peter’s ups and downs, it’s clear that his bravery to speak from the heart both earns his accolades and dumps him in hot water, too. Here Peter gets it very wrong. This passage is one that really seems odd until you consider the background. Peter knew what a messiah looked like – he’d be a king, a warrior, a savour to his people with the power of God behind him – Jesus decimates that idea pretty quickly. This isn’t a complex craft and lends itself well to groups who like the colouring process or those who want a craft in a hurry.
To make this craft, you will need the 1-page template printout, scissors, and some paper glue.
If you are using the template without colour, it’s best to add colour AFTER construction.
Cut out all the pieces.
Fold the smaller piece in half – mountain fold / print on the outside
Fold the glue tabs on each end – valley fold / print on the inside
Add glue to the oval on the bigger piece
Position the smaller pieces tabs in the oval.
Now colour it all in if you didn’t print in colour.
Fold to the left to see Peter’s idea of a Messiah.
Fold to the right to see Jesus’ idea of a Messiah.
