FAMILY PLUS Preschool - April 7

The focus of the Bible stories during April for preschoolers is to discover more about our friend Jesus and His love for children and all people. Your preschooler will have opportunities to hear about Jesus' warm and loving acceptance of all kinds of people, including children, people who needed help and His helpers. They will hear and learn that Easter is a happy day because Jesus loves us.

Each age group's story is different this week. I have simplified each age level.

Bible Story: Jesus Helped a Man Who Could Not Walk Mark 2:1-12
One day, Jesus traveled to the city of Capernaum (kuh PUHR nay uhm). People gathered in a house where Jesus was teaching. The people wanted to see Jesus and hear what He would say. So many people crowded into the house that there was no space left for anyone else! Four men walked toward the house carrying a friend on a mat that could not walk. They wanted to see Jesus so that He could heal their friend. The house was crowded with people. The four men could not get through the crowd. The men made a hole in the roof of the house right above the place where Jesus stood.  They lowered their paralyzed friend down through the hole into the room in front of Jesus.
Jesus looked at the paralyzed man and said, "Get up. Pick up your mat and go home." The man stood up, picked up his mat, and walked out of the house in front of all the people. Jesus had healed their friend. The man could now walk! He did not need crutches, a cane or men to carry him anymore. All the people were surprised! The people praised God and said, "We have seen wonderful things today!
