Children’s Bible Program – Level 1: NT Lesson 10 “A Little Girl Resurrected”
Featured Passage: Luke 8
Like wildfire, the news spread that Jesus was doing miracles and healing many people of all kinds of sicknesses. Crowds of people followed Him nearly everywhere He went. One day, when Jesus returned to one of the towns by the Sea of Galilee, a man came to Jesus and desperately begged him to come to his house. The man’s young daughter was very sick and was dying. Jesus began to follow the man, but as he went, the crowd of people tried to keep following Him, bumping and pushing to get close. Suddenly Jesus felt someone touch him. He stopped to find that a woman had reached out to touch His garments, believing she would be healed—and she was! While Jesus was still talking to the woman someone came to tell Him that the little girl had already died. It was too late, or was it?
Discuss:
- How old was the girl who was sick?
- How do you imagine the man, Jarius, felt while the crowd was making it take longer for Jesus to get to his house to heal his daughter?
- What did Jesus say when they found out the little girl was dead? Why do you think He told them that?
- Who did Jesus allow to be with Him in the house when He went to the little girl? Why do you think He didn’t want anyone else to come in?
- What did Jesus mean when He said the little girl was “sleeping”? Can you think of any other places in the Bible where God says being dead is like sleeping?
- How do you think the girl’s parents felt when Jesus caused her to wake up from being dead? Is there anyone you know who has died who you are looking forward to seeing again when God brings them back to life in the resurrection?
Memory Challenge:
Luke 8:50
But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well.”
