Jesus Worships and Restores on the Sabbath

God made the Sabbath for us; Jesus restores health — Mark 2, 3, 13

Left panel: Menorah and scroll illustration with text discussing Jesus healing on the Sabbath.

When God finished creating the earth, He rested and blessed the 7th day and made the Sabbath Holy. From Sinai, He reminded His people that the Sabbath is holy and to do no work. The pharisees made many laws about the Sabbath. Jesus made it clear that the Sabbath was made for us, that we should do good on the Sabbath, and that God wants us to be healed and rejuvenated on this special day. In this presentation, Jesus and his disciples eat grain fresh off the stalk, Jesus heals a man with a withered hand and a woman who is stooped over. We have an opportunity to make blessing bags. There also is a Sabbath Activity ‘fortune teller’.

Jesus Calls Matthew

This presentation explores good money management. Give the kids each 10 dimes and let them experience what it is to tithe, pay a tax, save and spend money on their snack. The Bible story is Jesus calling Levi Matthew who is a tax collector. Will you follow Jesus? Matthew has a feast for Jesus and many of his friends come. The leaders question why Jesus is eating with tax collectors and sinners. Jesus’ answer shows that he loves the sinner and those in need. He shows mercy and forgiveness.
