‘The Gruffalo’ by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. In this story we see a cunning little mouse, who uses quick thinking to get him out of tricky situations. He was able to outsmart all the other animals in the wood and convince even the scariest of creatures that he is in fact scarier than them.
In the Bible we see Jesus who on the surface looks like an ordinary, normal man. He isn’t big and strong. He isn’t rich or a bully but even monsters are scared of Him. Waves and storms obey His command. The Bible says that Jesus has equipped Christians to be brave to take on the most difficult tasks in life.
