Jesus Heals Ten Men

Image
Luke 17:11-16 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Luke. Luke loved Jesus and wanted others to know and love Jesus, too. And the word gospel means “good news!” We begin with Jesus and His friends, the disciples. One day, they were walking down a road. As Jesus and His disciples were walking into a village, they heard some men shouting. When Jesus looked, He saw ten men, and they were very sick. Have you even been sick? Being sick is not fun. These ten men were so sick that they had boo-boos on their skin. These boo-boos hurt, and they were boo-boos that only Jesus could make go away. The other people in the village did not want to get boo-boos on their skin, so the sick people had to live far away from all the other people—even away from their families and friends! It was very sad. That’s why the men started shouting when they saw Jesus. They wanted to ask Jesus for help! When Jesus saw the men, Jesus told them to go and let the priests look at their skin....

Peter Walks on Water

Matthew 14:22-33 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew was a disciple of Jesus. That means Jesus was his teacher. And the word gospel means “good news!” We begin by a lake where Jesus had been teaching people all day. When Jesus was done teaching, He told his friends, the disciples, to get in a boat and go to the other side of the lake. Then Jesus went up on a mountain to pray by Himself.  While the disciples were in the boat, the wind began to blow. The wind blew and blew. It rocked the boat back-and-forth, back-and-forth, back-and-forth. The disciples didn’t know what to do!  Then, something amazing happened! As the wind rocked the boat, the disciples looked out on the water and saw something coming toward them.  As the disciples looked, it got closer and closer and closer. It was a PERSON! The disciples were so afraid! They thought, how could a person really walk on water? Then, the person talked! They said, “It’s me! Don’t...

Matthew 2:1-2, 9-11 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew was a disciple of Jesus. That means Jesus was his teacher. And the word gospel means “good news!” Christmas is when we celebrate that Jesus was born. God loves us so much, that God gave us Jesus! Now, there were people called wise men who lived very far away. They were waiting for Jesus to be born because they knew Jesus was God’s Son.  After Jesus was born, God put a special star in the sky to show the wise men the way to Jesus so that they could celebrate Him.  The wise men knew they could follow the star to get to Jesus. It was a long journey, but they finally got there! The wise men were SO happy to see Jesus.  As soon as they saw Him, they gave Jesus gifts and worshipped Him. They wanted to show how special Jesus is. And we know Jesus is special because Jesus is God’s Son! God loves us so much that God gave us Jesus! Wow!  What an amazing story! Do you think w...

But the angel said, “Do not be afraid, Mary! God says you are going to have a baby and you will call Him Jesus.” WOW! That IS a very important message! Mary was going to have a baby!

Luke 2:8-20 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Luke. Luke loved Jesus and wanted others to know and love Jesus, too. And the word gospel means “good news!” Our true story is about when Jesus was born. God sent an angel to tell Mary she would have a special baby named Jesus. And Jesus is special because Jesus is God’s Son. One day, Mary and Joseph went to a town called Bethlehem. When they got there, they stayed in a place where animals sleep. Animals like a cow. What do cows say? “Moo-Moo!” And donkeys say . . . “HEE-HAW!” And sheep say . . . “BAA-BAA!” While Mary and Joseph were in Bethlehem, the most special thing happened. Baby Jesus was born! That night, there were shepherds out in the field taking care of their sheep. While the shepherds were watching their sheep, an angel appeared! The shepherds were afraid when they saw the angel, but then the angel said, “Don’t be afraid! God’s Son, Jesus, has been born! You will find baby Jesus lying in a manger...
