A TOUCH OF JESUS HEALS
HOOK
Who touched me?
Have the children sit in a circle. One person sits in the middle and is blindfolded. Children will take turns as the teacher quietly points to each one, to go to the child in the middle and TOUCH that children and quietly run back to the circle. Then the blindfold can be removed and the child can try to guess who TOUCHED him/her. If he guesses it correctly, then that child goes to the middle to be blindfolded, etc.
Touch the Teacher
Blindfold the teacher and let children take turns touching the teacher’s back. The teacher will have to guess what part of the child's body touched the teacher's back — such as a finger, a nose, an elbow, a toe, an ear, etc!
The kids can also be the ones to guess who touched them.
STORY : A TOUCH OF JESUS HEALS (Mark 5:21-34)
Last lesson, we learnt about Jesus delivering the evil spirits out of a man in Gerasenes.
After Jesus left and came back to the other side of the lake, He was quickly summoned to heal a little girl who was dying.
A big crowd followed Jesus as He walked. In the crowd was a woman.
The Bible doesn’t put her name, but we know that she had been bleeding for 12 years. How many of you are 12 years old? 12 years is a long time to be bleeding.
Besides the discomfort and pain she might have been going through, this woman had to keep away from society, as she was bleeding and considered “unclean”.
Do you remember who else were considered “unclean” in Jewish society? Lepers
This woman went to many doctors. She spent a lot of money. But instead, she got worse! Nobody could heal her.
But she heard there was someone who could heal her — Jesus.
So even though she was not supposed to be out in public, she decided to go see Jesus. She thought to herself, “If I just touch His clothes, I will be healed!”
So she crept up behind Jesus and touched the edge of His long cloak.
Immediately, her bleeding stopped! And the woman knew that she had been completely healed.
Even though there were so many people around Him, Jesus also realised something had happened. He turned around and asked, “Who touched me? I know that power has gone out from me.”
The woman knew she couldn’t hide. She came and fell at Jesus’ feet. And she told Him and everyone there what had happened to her. She testified how God had healed her.
Then Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace.”
LESSON
Jesus is our Hope
When all hope is gone, this woman had faith that Jesus could heal her. She confessed it with her mouth, “If I just touch His clothes, I will be healed.”
We, too, can exercise faith in what we say. Speaking out God’s truth and promises, even when things may seem hopeless, builds up our faith to focus on Jesus, instead of our problems.
We, too, can reach out in faith and receive our healing and miracle.
Jesus Transforms
When we meet Jesus, we cannot remain the same. We will be transformed.
Healing takes place.
We are given a new identity — no longer just “woman” but “daughter”.
We have His peace.
Like the woman, all that is left for us to do is to tell others what God has done for us.
Jesus Bled so We don’t have to Bleed
On the Cross, Jesus died for us. His blood flowed down and washed away all our sins. Jesus bled and died … so we, like the woman, don’t have to bleed, and we can live forever with Him.
Let’s pray: Thank you Jesus that a touch from You is all we need. You have the power to heal us. You have the power to make us Your sons and daughters. Thank you for loving us and working in us. In Your name, I pray Amen.
ACTIVITY SUGGESTIONS
