Synopsis

First published in 1867, The Two Bears and Other Sermons for Children by J.C. Ryle contains seven lively sermons aimed at young audiences. With creative storytelling and gentle encouragement, Ryle makes biblical truths and life lessons accessible and compelling for children.

The title sermon draws from the cautionary story told in 2 Kings where a group of children are punished for mocking the prophet Elisha. Another sermon celebrates the simple but profound faith of a young blind girl. Ryle challenges children to emulate her joy and trust in Christ. In one of the longest pieces, Ryle analyzes Proverbs 8:17 phrase-by-phrase, urging children to seek and love God from an early age. Vivid analogies and examples illustrate the blessings of pursuing Christ wholeheartedly during childhood.

While uncompromising in his focus on sin, salvation, and scripture, Ryle approaches children with affection and hope. His imaginative sermons mingle warnings against wickedness with tender invitations to redemption. Without shying away from the stark realities of judgment, Ryle summons the littlest souls to live purposefully and morally by clinging to the Savior. Though originally delivered to 19th century audiences, these creative Gospel messages translate seamlessly across cultures and generations.
