Volume 8 Jesus the Servant. Unit 22 Jesus the Healer. Session 2 of 4
Jesus had just returned from the region of the Gerasenes, where He had healed a man with an unclean spirit. He crossed the Sea of Galilee and came on shore, where He was surrounded by a large crowd of people. News of Jesus’ teachings and healings was spreading, and people wanted to see Jesus. They wanted to learn from Him and be healed.
Jairus, a leader in the synagogue, came to Jesus in crisis. His daughter was at the point of death. Without Jesus’ help, she would surely die. Jesus went with Jairus, but as He walked, a woman in the crowd came up behind Him and touched His robes. She too was desperate for healing. The woman believed that Jesus’ power was strong enough to heal her even if all she did was touch His robe. Because she had faith, Jesus healed her.
Imagine Jairus’ devastation when he heard that his daughter had died. The people suggested that Jesus was too late to help her, but Jesus proved them wrong. He went to Jairus’ house and raised the little girl from the dead.
Through His healing miracles, Jesus showed His power as the Messiah. Jesus died on the cross and rose again to save people from sin and death. When we trust in Jesus, God forgives our sins and changes us to be more like His Son.
As you teach kids, point out that the woman and the father of the little girl came to Jesus in faith. They needed Jesus’ help, and they trusted in Jesus’ power to heal. After Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead, He ascended to heaven. Even though Jesus is not physically on earth today, we can pray and ask God to heal people who are sick. Whether or not God grants immediate physical healing, we can rest knowing that He brings ultimate healing through His Son, Jesus.
Christ Connection: By healing the woman and raising the little girl from the dead, Jesus showed His power as the Messiah. Jesus died on the cross and rose again to save people from sin and death. When we trust in Jesus, God forgives our sins and changes us to be more like His Son.
Praise God for His attributes: holiness, greatness, grace, mercy, etc.
Thank God for His goodness, provision, etc.
Ask God for His Holy Spirit to prepare our hearts, minds, and spirits to worship God and learn the lesson He has for us today.
You may ask all the kids to take turn to pray as well.
Share praises from this past week of what you see God's been doing in your lives.
Confessing of our sins. Pray to God for His holiness and purity in our lives.
Share prayer requests with each other. Pray for each other.
Distribute Bibles. Guide your children to open their Bibles to Mark 5. Explain that the Gospel of Mark is the second book in the New Testament. It is the shortest of the four Gospels. Point out that Jesus was teaching near the Sea of Galilee when today’s story took place. [Point to the Sea of Galilee on the Israel in the Time of Jesus Map.]
Choose a child to read aloud Mark 5:33-34.
LEADER SAY • Jesus healed a woman and raised a girl from the dead. Was Jesus angry that the woman had touched His clothes? No! He spoke kindly to her, calling her “Daughter.” Jesus did not want her to feel guilty. She was completely healed!
(Take your time to ask, ponder and answer the following questions)
Prompt kids to recall that when the woman touched Jesus’ clothes, she was healed. The woman came to Jesus in faith, believing He could heal her. Emphasize that Jesus’ clothes weren’t magical; the healing power came from Jesus Himself.
(Option: Choose a volunteer to read Acts 10:37-38.)
Point out that the people who needed to be healed knew who could help them. We can look to Jesus for help—no matter what sin or sickness we face. We don’t need to do anything to earn His help. Jesus tells us, “Just believe.”
(Option: Choose a volunteer to read 1 Pet. 2:24.)
Lead kids to discuss how even though Jesus is not physically on earth today, we can pray to Him in faith and ask God to heal people who are sick or hurting. God has the power to heal, and He brings ultimate healing through His Son, Jesus, by forgiving our sins.
(Option: Choose a volunteer to read James 5:16.)
Jesus, Son of God, Only You can save me.
Suffering on the cross You gave You all,
Willingly paid the cost for me Now I am free to worship.
Jesus, You are my healer, Oh Jesus, touch me and I will be free
Lord, by Your stripes I am healed, I am healed.
Oh Jesus, You are my Savior Oh Jesus, You are my strength
And my shield I put my trust in Your name.
In your name, Jesus.
Lord, Your name is great, A refuge I can run to.
A shelter from the storm, A faithful friend.
And I can depend on You, My God, my king
I lift my voice and worship.
Jesus, You are my healer, Oh Jesus, touch me and I will be free
Lord, by Your stripes I am healed, I am healed.
Oh Jesus, You are my Savior Oh Jesus, You are my strength
And my shield I put my trust in Your name.
In your name, Jesus.
