GAME: Blindfold Hunt
STORY : JESUS OPENS EARS/MOUTHS/EYES (Mark 7-8)
Jesus Heals a Deaf and Mute
Man
Mark 7:31-37 Then Jesus left the vicinity
of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the
Decapolis. 32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and
could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33 After he
took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man’s
ears. Then he spit and touched the man’s tongue. 34 He looked up to
heaven and with a deep sigh said to him,
“Ephphatha!”
(which means “Be opened!”). 35 At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue
was loosened and he began to speak plainly.
36 Jesus commanded them not
to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37
People were overwhelmed with amazement. “He has done everything well,”
they said. “He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”
Jesus Heals a Blind Man at
Bethsaida
Mark 8:22-25 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the
village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus
asked, “Do you see anything?”
24 He looked up and said, “I
see people; they look like trees walking around.”
25 Once more
Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was
restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t
even go into the village.”
LESSON
We can be friends who bring
people to Jesus
For the deaf/mute man and the blind man, it was
their friends who brought them to Jesus. In this world, there are many people
who need to meet Jesus.
They
may be physically ill.
But
they may also be deaf or blind to God’s love for them.
We
can be the friends who bring them to receive a touch from Jesus.
Jesus heals in different
ways
Jesus
doesn’t heal in one set way, or through a series of magic phrases.
For the deaf/mute man, He put his fingers in his
ears and spat and touched his tongue. For the blind man, Jesus spat on the
man’s eyes and put his hands on them.
Each
time, it’s based on what the Holy Spirit leads Him to do.
Our
only action is to come to Him and receive from Him, not to follow a set formula
to receive His healing.
Whatever
way He uses, it is good. As the people said, “He has done everything well.”
Let us allow Jesus to open our
ears, eyes and hearts
We
may not blind or mute or deaf. But we all need Jesus.
And to receive from Him and be blessed, let’s allow
Him to touch us and open our ears, eyes and hearts.
And with our mouths, we can praise and give thanks
to Jesus. If you would like to receive Jesus, let’s pray together now.
ACTIVITY SUGGESTIONS
HUDDLE TIME
Get
the kids into small groups to share prayer items (healing or otherwise) and
pray for each other.
GAME: Memory Verse Balloon
Pass or Thanksgiving Balloon Pass
“He has done everything
well,” they said. “He even makes
the deaf hear and the mute speak.” Mark 7:37
Prepare
an inflated balloon. Children stand in a large circle. They take turns to throw
the balloon to each other. The person who receives the balloon has to say a
word of the memory verse (Mark 7:37) until the verse is complete.
Alternative:
Children take turns to say something they are thankful to God for when they
receive the balloon.
