Jesus heals!

We just concluded three weeks of discussing Jesus and God's power over nature and healings.

Lesson One ~ Jesus  calms the storms
Lesson Two ~ Jesus heals the deaf man who was unable to speak.
Lesson Three ~ Jesus heals the man born blind.

I love all three of these stories about Jesus.  Jesus had such a unique way of dealing with people especially one-on-one.  The deaf man, Jesus took him away from the crowds.  I love how Jesus didn't need a crowd around to do something wonderful for someone. I wanted to encourage the children in my class to do something good for someone even if no one's around.  God sees all things and will see their good deeds.

I am looking forward to discussing Easter and the sacrifice that Jesus paid for our sins.

The children have been reciting this verse for two weeks now:

Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.

Matthew 28: 5 & 6
