"Bartimaeus Receives His Sight" FAMILY PLUS Preschool - January 16

Hi Parents and Grandparents!

Close your eyes for a few minutes to sample what it might feel like to be blind and never been able to see. The gift of sight is one of the most precious of all of God's gifts. Just imagine the frustrations blind people face all day, every day. Our story this week is about Jesus healing a blind man named Bartimaeus.  When you open your eyes, think of how Bartimaeus might have felt when he was able to see for the first time.
 

This week, Sunday, January 19, 2014, your child will hear this story:

Jesus and Bartimaeus Based on Mark 10:46-52
Story Brief:
Jesus and His disciples were leaving the city of Jericho. A large crowd was following them. As they walked down the road, a blind man named Bartimaeus called out, “Jesus, help me!” 
Many people told the man to be quiet, but he kept calling out, “Jesus, help me!”
Jesus stopped and said, “Call the man to Me.”
The people told the man, “Jesus is calling for you. Go to Him.” So Bartimaeus jumped up and ran to Jesus.
“What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked Bartimaeus.
“Teacher, I want to see!” Bartimaeus answered.
Jesus said to Bartimaeus, “Because you believed, you can see.” Bartimaeus was able to see and began to follow Jesus.
