JESUS IS ALWAYS NEAR
HOOK
Float vs Sink
Put
the bucket of water on the table. Prepare several different items that can
either float or sink in water.
As each item is put into the bucket of water, ask
the children whether it will float or sink. Have the children take turns
putting the items into the water to see if they will float. Ask them if we can
float on the water (on our backs?)
What
about walking on water? Can we do it? Why or why not?
Today
we are going to read about the time when Jesus walked on water.
STORY : JESUS IS ALWAYS NEAR (Mark 6:45-52)
Jesus
Walks on the Sea
45 Immediately Jesus made his
disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he
dismissed the crowd. 46 After leaving them, he went
up on a mountainside to pray.
47 Later that night, the boat
was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. 48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because
the wind was against them.
Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on
the lake. He was about to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him
walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified.
Immediately
he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
51 Then he climbed into the
boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, 52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their
hearts were hardened.
LESSON
Jesus is always near
“He saw the disciples
straining at the oars, because the wind was against them.”
It
was dark, but Jesus was able to look out at the sea and see the disciples
rowing their boat.
Just
as the disciples were not out of Jesus’ sight, we are also never out of His
sight.
Jesus is always near
“Shortly before dawn he went
out to them, walking on the lake.”
Jesus
and the disciples were separated by land and sea. But it was not too far for
Jesus. He just walked on the water to them.
Jesus is the one who made the heavens and the
oceans. He stills the wind and the waves. We are never out of His reach.
Jesus always cares
“Take courage! It is I.
Don’t be afraid.”
When the disciples were in the storm, they might
have thought that Jesus had forgotten about them. The last time, Jesus was sleeping
in the boat. Now He wasn’t even in the boat. But Jesus didn’t forget.
He
went to them and reassured them and told them not to be afraid.
When we are in a tough spot, we have to trust that
Jesus loves and cares for us, even when we may not see Him working immediately
the way we expect Him to.
We are NEVER out of Jesus’
sight, reach and care.
ACTIVITY SUGGESTIONS
HUDDLE TIME
Get
the kids into small groups. Ask them to share their needs and pray with them,
reminding them that Jesus is always near, and Jesus cares for them.
