Sunday School - 3rd Grade

Reading Portion: Luke 8: 41, 42, 49-56

Lesson:

1. There was a ruler of the synagogue named Jarius, whose 12 year old daughter was dying. He fell at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come to his house.

2. Jesus was heading there, but something else happened. And Jesus was dealing with that, when someone from Jarius’ house ran up to him and told Jarius that his daughter was dead and not to trouble the master.

3. Jesus heard that and said, “Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.”

4. When Jesus got to the house, he only allowed Peter, James, John and her parents to go with him. Everyone else had to stay back.

5. They were all weeping and Jesus told them to stop weeping because she isn’t dead, only sleeping. They all laughed at him.

6. Jesus took the girl’s hand and told her to rise. She became alive again and arose. Jesus told them to give her some food.

7. The parents were shocked, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone about what had happened.


Moral: The Lord can not only heal all manner of sicknesses but can also raise the dead.

Memory Verse: John 11:25 - Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
