“But you
will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you
will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria,
and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8
Before Jesus went back to heaven, He told the
disciples to wait in Jerusalem for God’s gift — the Holy Spirit, which will
give the disciples power to be His witness everywhere.
Have
you ever been carried? (Talk about your own experiences or suggest times when a
person might be carried.) A baby has to be carried because they can’t walk. A
parent might carry a child to bed when they are sleepy. A fireman might carry a
person out of a burning building when they save them.
Four-hand seat carry demonstration:
Think about what it would be like if you could never
walk anywhere and someone would always have to carry you. In today’s story we
are going to talk about a man who couldn’t walk. He didn’t have a wheelchair
and someone always had to carry him.
STORY (Acts 3)
Peter and John were two of Jesus’ closest disciples.
One day, when they were going to the temple to pray, they saw a man sitting
right beside the gate (called “Beautiful Gate”). As they moved closer they
noticed that the man was crippled. He could not walk.
Now this was not the first time the crippled man sat
there. His friends brought him to the temple every single day so he could ask
people for money. Since he couldn't get a job or work, he was hoping the kind
people who were going into the temple to worship God would see him and have
compassion on him and give him money so he would be able to have food and other
necessary things.
The
man saw Peter and John and as usual, he stretched out his hand to ask for
money. "Please, do you have some money you could give me? I really, really
need money."
Well,
our friends, Peter and John, looked at the man and told him, "Look at
us!"
The man looked up in eagerness, expecting to be given
money. He had no idea what an unusual day THIS was going to be!
Imagine
his dismay when Peter and John said, "We don't have any money!"
Imagine
his surprise when they said, "We want to give you something better than
money!"
He
thought about that. He was quite confused. After all, what could be BETTER than
money?
Then he heard Peter say something very strange.
"In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!"
"Walk? Who? ME? They
expect me to WALK? I have NEVER walked! I have never walked before in my whole
life! From the time I was a little child, I have always wanted to walk. Now
they are telling me to just get up and walk. How can THAT be? Can it really
happen? Will I really be able to walk? Hmmm ...
Should I try? Or should I ignore them and just sit
here?" You can imagine all these thoughts flying through the man's mind in
just a few seconds.
Before
he even knew what was happening, Peter reached down, took him by the right
hand, and lifted him up. IMMEDIATELY his feet and anklebones received strength.
He couldn't believe what was happening! His feet were actually HOLDING HIM UP!
He JUMPED up, he STOOD up, and he WALKED around. He went into the temple for
the first time in his life. This was SO exciting! He was WALKING and JUMPING
for the first time in his life. He was PRAISING God because of the amazing
thing that had just happened to him.
All the people saw him WALKING and JUMPING and
PRAISING God. They knew it was that crippled man who had sat outside the gate
of the temple for many years begging for money. They recognized him and they
were full of surprise and wondered what and how this had happened.
The people started running toward Peter and John.
They thought Peter and John had done a great miracle and they wanted them to do
MORE miracles.
Peter immediately started preaching to the crowd.
"STOP! STOP!" he yelled. "Why are you so surprised about this?
Why are you looking at us? WE did not perform this miracle. WE did not make
this man able to walk!
It is Jesus. The one whom you killed but was raised
to life by God. This man was made strong by faith in the name of Jesus. It is
Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed
him!
Believe
in Him and be saved!”
Isn’t Jesus powerful? Because Peter and John
believed in Jesus, His Holy Spirit was in them and they could do the great and
mighty things Jesus did when He was on earth.
HUDDLE TIME
Get the kids into small groups to share their prayer
needs. Have the children stretch forth their hands to each other and speak
Jesus’ name, spirit and life into whatever situation they are facing. Encourage
them to believe that Jesus is more powerful than any problem they have.
