Welcome to a world where children and adults alike can remind themselves of a core truth with a coloring page: Jesus loves me. Each Jesus Loves Me coloring page offers a comforting and nurturing way to express faith through art.

Embracing God’s Love Through Art

Children need to understand that they are deeply loved by God. Each specially designed coloring page features the prominent statement Jesus Loves Me in bold type. The strong words are juxtaposed with gentle scenes of grandeur, such as majestic clouds, the peaceful ocean waves lapping the sandy shore, and the radiant sun filling the world with light. These coloring pages combine themes of strength, gentleness, and conviction.

You might be a Christian seeking to reinforce the message of the Bible. You might be a parent or Sunday School teacher wanting to teach a child of this beautiful truth. Before you begin inking, coloring and painting, take a moment to read a few Bible verses to get you thinking and praying.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galations 2:20 NIV

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.
John 15:9-14

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
John 3:16-18 NIV

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
1 John 3:16-18 NIV

Jesus Loves Me Coloring Page in Sunday School

The second set of Jesus Loves Me coloring pages displays the heartwarming scene of Jesus hugging a child. The inspiration for this set comes from the Gospel of Mark when Jesus’ disciples tried to stop people from bringing their children to him. After rebuking his disciples, Jesus took a moment to teach the disciples about the humility required to enter the kingdom of heaven. And then this happened:

And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.
Mark 10:16

Jesus is depicted as strong and affectionate, a reminder of his desire to bless the children who come to him.

By engaging with these images, children and adults alike can reflect on the meanings of these verses in a personal and profound way.
