A parable of the incarnation of Christ, Andy becomes an ant to warn his ant friends that a bulldozer is going to destroy them. He offers a way for them to escape. Some listen and others don't believe. A powerful story that makes the incarnation of God-to-man understandable to children.

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce children to Christ, and what He has done for us. Andy and the Ants is a powerful parable that helps children understand the incarnation of Jesus.

The theme verse for the book and this lesson is John 14:3: "After I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back. Then I will take you to be with me so that you may be where I am." (ICB - International Children's Bible)
