Matthew 7:7–11 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!” One day, Jesus was teaching His friends about God and about prayer. Jesus wanted them to know that they could ask God for help. Jesus said, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” Jesus was teaching His friends to keep trusting God. If you need something, you can ask . If you are looking for help, you can seek . If you need someone to answer, you can knock . Then Jesus talked about parents and their children. Jesus said, “If a child asks for bread, would a loving parent give the child a stone instead?” No! Jesus said, “If a child asks for a fish, would a loving parent give the child a snake?” Of course not! Parents want to give their children good things. Then Jesus explained that God loves and cares for us even more . God knows ...

Luke 10:21–22 Jesus loved to talk with God. One day, Jesus was very happy. His friends had been doing the work Jesus had asked them to do, and Jesus knew that God was doing wonderful things. Jesus was filled with joy! And do you know what Jesus did when He was joyful? Jesus talked with God. Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth.” Jesus praised God and thanked Him. Jesus knew that God was good and that God was doing good things. Jesus called God His Father. He knew that His Father loved Him, and Jesus loved His Father. We can talk with God when we are happy, too. When we see a beautiful flower, we can say, “Thank You, God!” When someone gives us a hug or helps us, we can say, “Thank You, God, for people who love me.” When we eat good food, play with a friend, see an animal, hear a bird singing, or enjoy a sunny day, we can thank God. We can also praise God just because of who God is. We can say, “God, You are good!” We can say, “God, You are wonderful!” We can say,...

Jesus told them that when they prayed, they could begin by talking to God as their loving Father. They could tell God how wonderful and holy He is. Jesus taught them to ask God for the things they need each day, like food to eat. He taught them that when they do something wrong, they can ask God to forgive them. And Jesus taught them to forgive other people, too. Jesus also taught His friends to ask God to help them make good choices. Jesus wanted His friends to know that they could talk with God about all kinds of...

Luke 10:25-37 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!” One day, a man asked Jesus an important question: “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus answered by telling a story. “There was a man traveling on a road,” Jesus said. “Suddenly, some robbers came. They hurt the man, took his things, and left him lying by the road.” The man was hurt and needed help. After a while, another man came walking down the road. He saw the hurt man—but he walked right past him and did not stop. Then another man came. He also saw the hurt man—but he walked past him, too. The hurt man was still lying there, waiting for someone to help. Then another traveler came. He was called a Samaritan. When he saw the hurt man, he felt very sorry for him. The Samaritan stopped right away. He gently helped the man. He cleaned his wounds and made him feel better. Then he carefully put the man on his o...

And the word gospel means “good news!” One day, Jesus was walking through a town called Jericho. A man named Zacchaeus lived there. Zacchaeus really wanted to see Jesus! But there was a problem. Zacchaeus was very short, and the crowd was very big. He could not see over all the people. So, Zacchaeus had an idea! He ran ahead and climbed up into a tree so he could see Jesus when He came by. When Jesus reached the tree, He stopped and looked up. Jesus said, “Zacchaeus, come down! I must stay at your house today.” Zacchaeus was so happy! He quickly climbed down and welcomed Jesus with joy. Some people were surprised. They said, “Why is Jesus going to his house?” But Jesus loved Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus wanted to change. He said, “I will give to the poor, and I will make things right.” Jesus said, “Today salvation has come to this house.” Jesus c...

And the word gospel means “good news!” One day, Jesus told a story about a father and his two sons. The younger son said to his father, “I want to go far away and live on my own.” So, the father gave him what he asked for. The son went far away and spent all his money. Soon, he had nothing left. There was no food, and he was very hungry. He even had to feed pigs, and he wished he could eat the pigs’ food! Then the son began to think. He said, “My father’s helpers have plenty of food. I will go back home. I will tell my father I am sorry.” So, the son started the long journey home. While he was still far away, his father saw him coming. The father was so happy! He ran to his son, hugged him, and kissed him. The son said, “Father, I am sorry.” But the father was full of love. He called for a robe, a ring, and sandals for his son. Then he s...
