He taught about God and did amazing things!
When Jesus grew up to be a man, He began to teach people what God is like and how to obey Him. He began to tell how they could become one of God’s people. Jesus said that even people who had disobeyed God a whole lot could be forgiven by God. He said that He was God’s Son who came to save them. The people who listened to Jesus were amazed at what He told them. They had never heard someone tell them so much about God. Jesus talked as if He knew God, Himself for of course He did, because Jesus was not just a man like them, He was God, the Son of God, Himself. Jesus also did things that no one had ever seen before. He healed very sick people. He feed lots of people with just a little bit of food. He calmed the wind and waves of a raging storm. He even brought dead people back to life. All of these things are miracles. Miracles are things that only God can do. Jesus did miracles to show people that He really was the Son of God. He wanted them to believe in Him so that they could be saved from God’s forever punishment and come to know and love God as God created them to. People listened to Jesus teach and they watched His miracles. Many believed that Jesus was the Son of God come to save
them.
Concept 2 Scripture Verse: Matthew 4:23
“Jesus went... preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people."
Tie-in: Jesus taught the people the good news of the kingdom of God. Do you know what that good news is? That anyone who says sorry to God for their sins and trusts Jesus as their Savior will be forgiven and saved. They will get to love God and enjoy Him forever! And Jesus healed all sorts of sicknesses. Not the way doctors do, with medicines! No, Jesus is God. He could tell sickness to leave and it would. Just like that! Many people watched what Jesus said and did and believed in Him. That’s the best news of all!
