A Man Walks Again

Image
Acts 3 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Acts, which is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” An apostle is someone who is sent to teach others about Jesus. One day, Peter and John were going to the temple to pray. As they walked, they saw a man sitting by the gate. This man could not walk. Every day, people carried him there so he could ask others for money. When the man saw Peter and John, he asked them for help. Peter looked at him and said, “Look at us.” The man looked up, thinking he might receive some money. But Peter said, “I don’t have silver or gold, but I will give you what I do have. In the name of Jesus, get up and walk!” Then Peter took the man by the hand and helped him up. And right away—something amazing happened! The man’s legs became strong. He stood up. He began to walk! Then he started jumping and praising God. He was so happy! The people saw him walking and jumping. They were amazed because they knew he had never been able to walk before. Peter t...

Acts 2 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Acts, which is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” An apostle is someone who is sent to teach others about Jesus. After Jesus went back to Heaven, His friends remembered what He told them. He said that God would send the Holy Spirit to help them. So the disciples stayed together in one place, waiting.

Then they saw what looked like little flames of fire above their heads. God had sent the Holy Spirit! The disciples began to speak—and something wonderful happened. They were able to speak in different languages! People from many different places were nearby, and they heard the disciples talking. And guess what? Everyone could understand! The people were surprised. They said, “How can this be? We hear them talking in our own languages!” Then Peter stood up and began to speak. ...

Jesus Returns to Heaven

Image
Acts 1:6-11 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called Acts, which is short for “the Acts of the Apostles.” An apostle is someone who is sent to teach others about Jesus. After Jesus came back to life, He spent time with His friends, the disciples. He talked with them, walked with them, and helped them understand many things about God. One day, Jesus and His friends were together outside. His friends asked Him questions, because they were still learning and trying to understand what would happen next. Jesus told them something very important. He said, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes to you. And you will tell others about Me.” Jesus wanted His friends to share the good news—that He loves people and that God cares for everyone. Then something amazing happened. As His friends were watching Him, Jesus began to go up—up into the sky! Higher and higher He went, until a cloud covered Him, and they could not see Him anymore. His friends stood there, looking up into...

Jesus Makes Breakfast for His Friends

Image
John 21:1-14 Our true story is found in a part of the Bible called the Gospel of John. John was one of the friends and helpers of Jesus. And the word "Gospel" means "good news!" After Jesus came back to life, He wanted to see His friends again. One morning, some of His disciples were out on a big lake, trying to catch fish. They worked all night, but they didn’t catch anything—not even one little fish! As the sun came up, Jesus was standing on the shore, but the disciples didn’t know it was Him yet. Jesus called out, “Friends, did you catch any fish?” They shouted back, “No!” Jesus said, “Throw your net on the other side of the boat.” So they did—and guess what? The net filled with so many fish that they could hardly pull it back into the boat! Then one of the disciples said, “It’s Jesus!” Peter was so excited that he jumped right into the water and hurried to the shore. When they all got to land, they saw a little fire with fish and bread cooking on it. Jesus said,...

Jesus Loves Us So Much

Image
Matthew 26:36, 47-50; 27:1-28:8 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Mark. Mark loved Jesus and told people about Him. That means Jesus was his teacher. And the word “Gospel” means “good news!” One night, Jesus went to a quiet garden to pray. He knew that something very hard was going to happen, but Jesus talked to God because He trusted Him. While Jesus was praying, a group of people came with torches and swords. They were led by one of Jesus’ helpers named Judas, who had made a bad choice. Judas gave Jesus a kiss—that was the sign so the people would know who Jesus was. They took Jesus away. The people were not kind to Jesus. They made fun of Him, they hurt Him, and they put a crown made of sharp thorns on His head. Then they put Jesus on a cross, and He died there. Jesus had never done anything wrong, but He died because He loves us. After Jesus died, His friends placed His body in a tomb, and a big stone was rolled in front of it. Everyone was very sad...

Jesus Rides into Jerusalem

Matthew 21:1-11 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Mark. Mark loved Jesus and told people about Him. That means Jesus was his teacher. And the word “Gospel” means “good news!” One day, Jesus and His disciples were walking toward Jerusalem, a big city. When they got close, Jesus told two of His friends to go ahead and find a donkey and its little colt. “Bring them to Me,” Jesus said. “I will ride the donkey into the city.” The disciples found the donkey, just like Jesus said, and they put their coats on its back to make a soft seat for Jesus. Then, Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem. When the people saw Jesus coming, they were so excited! They spread their coats on the road and picked up palm branches to wave in the air. They shouted, “Hosanna! Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” They were so happy because Jesus was special—He was their King! Some people asked, “Who is this?” And the crowd said, “This is Jesus!” Jesus rode into th...

John 12:1-8 Our true story is found in a part of the Bible called the Gospel of John. John was one of the friends and helpers of Jesus. And the word "Gospel" means "good news!" One day, Jesus went to visit His friends in a town called Bethany. His friends were Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. They loved Jesus very much, and they wanted to have a special dinner for Him. While Jesus was sitting at the table, Mary did something very special. She had a beautiful jar of sweet-smelling perfume. It was very precious and smelled so nice! Mary poured the perfume on Jesus’ feet and then wiped His feet with her hair. The whole house smelled wonderful because of the perfume! But one of Jesus’ disciples, Judas, was not happy. He said, “Why did Mary waste that perfume? She should have sold it and given the money to the poor!” But Jesus knew Mary’s heart. He told Judas, “Leave her alone. She did something very good. She is showing love for Me, and what she did will be remembered forever...
