On Earth as it is in Heaven

“You are all around me, behind me and in front of me. You hold me safe in your hand.” Psalm 139:5  NIrV

We are currently in a series called, “The Miracles of Jesus.” Jesus performed miracles to reveal who He is and what life with Him is meant to look like. This past week we opened to Mark 5:35-43 — “Jesus Raises a Dead Girl to Life.” Jesus is the only source of all life, love and truth, and He has the power to raise people from death into life again!              

God’s intention for us is to be free from sickness and death. He intends for us to have life, to be healed and fully restored. We can trust that Jesus will one day heal us and those we love from illness whether it’s right away, or whether He calls us to wait. But He never leaves us and promises that one day, "He will wipe away the tears from our eyes. There will be no more death and no more sadness. There will be no more crying or pain." Rev 21:4.

God takes the brokenness of this world and redeems it in His timing therefore, we have hope for our future and for the future of those we love because Jesus is Healer and His plans for us are good!

 

At Home

Read: Read Mark 5:35-43.

Discuss: Who is God? Ask you child what he/she thinks Jesus wants us to know about himself as the Son of God. For ex. Healer, Powerful etc… Brainstorm one word characteristics about who God is together and see how many words you can put on the list. 

Pray: Think about a couple of people in your lives who are ill, whether it’s yourself, a friend, or a loved one. Start the prayer thanking God that for His love and that He is our healer. Continue to specifically pray for the people in your life who are in need of healing.
