Ask for Everything in His Name

⁹ Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, ..... ¹⁰ Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. ¹¹ Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. ¹² I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. ¹³ And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. ¹⁴ You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.(John 14:9-14,NIV)

WALKING ON THE WATER

Saved from the Storm

After the miracle of the loaves and fishes, Jesus knew that some Jews might force Him to be their king. They thought such a man could give them free bread, get rid of the hated Roman rulers, and even rule the world!

Jesus was indeed a king. But He did not need soldiers with swords to set up His kingdom. Jesus would rule in the hearts of those who loved and obeyed Him.

Then Jesus did what every leader should do when under the pressure of public favor. He slipped away from the crowd to a secret place to pray.

That night while Jesus was praying, a fierce storm arose on the lake nearby. Jesus knew His disciples were in danger in their boat. Late at night He went to help them. He walked on the stormy lake as though it were dry land.

When the disciples saw this strange figure coming toward them, they cried out in terror. They thought it was a ghost. But Jesus called out, “Be of good cheer, it is I. Don’t be afraid!” Then they all knew it was their Lord.

The disciples could hardly believe their eyes. How could Jesus walk on such wild waves? Suddenly Peter had an idea. He called out, “Lord, if it is really you, ask me to come to you on the water.”

“Come!” replied Jesus.

Boldly Peter stepped out of the boat. At first it was wonderful. He was actually walking on the water just like Jesus!

But Peter started looking at the foaming, dark waters. He panicked and began to sink. “Lord, save me!” he cried.

At once Jesus reached down and caught Peter. As soon as the two had entered the boat, the lake became calm. At the same time, the group found themselves at the shore.

How could it be? Only a moment ago, they had all been in the middle of the stormy lake! The astonished disciples humbly fell on their knees. They declared, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

Matthew 14:22-33

Mark 6:45-53

John 6:15-21

Caption: Peter cries, “Lord, save me!”

Parents:       Be not afraid, only believe. (Mark 5:36b)

Children:    1. Name the two who walked on the water.

2. What did the disciples think was walking toward them on the lake?

3. What happened when Peter became frightened?

FIVE LOAVES AND TWO FISHES

Jesus Feeds a Multitude

Jesus said to His disciples, “Let us find a quiet place to rest awhile.” He had heard that His friend, John the Baptist, had just been put to death in prison and He needed to be alone.

But many people were trying to see Jesus and would not leave Him alone. As men, women, and children flocked to Jesus, His heart was touched. They were like sheep without a shepherd.

Soon the hillside was full of people eagerly drinking in Jesus’ words. Hours later the disciples suddenly noticed that the sun was setting. These people were a long way from home. “Send the people away,” the disciples told Jesus. “It will soon be dark and they haven’t eaten all day.”

“How many people are there?” asked Jesus.

“Five thousand men, plus women and children,” the disciples replied.

Jesus suggested, “Why don’t you feed the people here?” He turned to Philip and asked, “Where can we buy bread to feed all these people?”

Just then Andrew came. “There’s a boy here with five loaves and two fishes,” he said. “He will gladly give it to you.”

All day long Jesus had known what He would do. With that young boy in mind, He had planned a wonderful miracle.

Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Divide the people in groups of fifties and hundreds.” The people sat on the grass in orderly groups.

Looking up to heaven, Jesus blessed the loaves and fishes. Then He broke them into pieces and handed them to the disciples. They, in turn, passed them out to the crowd. All the people ate until they were satisfied.

“Gather the leftover pieces so nothing is wasted,” said Jesus. The disciples obeyed and gathered up twelve baskets full of food. What a miracle! They had started with only five loaves and two fishes.

Does Jesus still plan such wonderful things today? Does He have His eyes on you? Will you give Him all you have so others can be blessed?

Matthew 14:15-21

Mark 6:30-44

Luke 9:10-17

John 6:1-14

Caption: A young boy gives his bread and fish to Jesus.

Parents:       Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33)

Children:    1. How many loaves and fishes did the boy have?

2. Did all the people have enough to eat?

3. How many baskets of food were left over?

A PARALYZED MAN

Jesus Heals and Forgives Sin

 Jesus was becoming quite well-known because of His teaching and healing ministry. More and more people flocked to Him. But Jesus often found a quiet place away from the crowds. There He prayed to His Father for strength.

The Jewish religious leaders, called scribes and Pharisees, also followed Jesus. But they had no faith in Him. They only wanted to find fault with Him because they were jealous.

One day Jesus was teaching a houseful of people. Suddenly they heard noises above them. Somebody was making a hole in the roof!

More and more pieces of the roof came off, then a large object slowly came down. It was a paralyzed man on a mat! Four men were lowering him to Jesus.

Jesus rejoiced to see their faith in Him. He was pleased that the men would go to so much trouble for their friend.

Everyone watched Jesus eagerly. Would He perform a miracle? Though Jesus had never seen this man before, He knew there was something the man needed even more than bodily healing. Jesus said, “Son, rejoice, for your sins are forgiven.”

The scribes and Pharisees were outraged at Jesus’ words. How dare He forgive this man! they thought. God is the only one who can forgive sin. Who does He think He is?

Jesus knew what the scribes and Pharisees were thinking. He asked them, “Is it any harder to forgive sins than it is to cure diseases? I will show you that I do have power to forgive sins.”

Then Jesus turned to the paralyzed man. “Get up,” He said. “Take your mat and go home.”

Immediately the man rose and rolled up his mat. He started walking home, joyfully praising God.

The man’s four friends and those who had seen this miracle also praised God. They were amazed at His great power.

Mark 2:2-12
