31 - The Man Born Blind

Introduction:

Ask the children who created them and every part of them, like their ears, hands, feet, eyes, etc... Ask the children to close their eyes. Ask them what they can see now... It’s just all dark. Talk to them about how helpful it is to be able to see and how hard it is for people who can not see. Learn about the power and love of our Lord Jesus Christ. Review last weeks' lessons and how they all show how much God loves us and cares about each one of us. 

 

Lesson Outline:

There was once a man that was not able to see anything around him since he was born. He was blind, which means he couldn’t see. He must have been very sad. He never knew how his parents or friends looked. He never knew how the trees or the flowers or the animals looked. He had never seen the sky, the sun, the moon, or the stars.  One day, as Jesus passed by, He noticed the man who was blind. Jesus wanted to help this man. Jesus spit on the ground to make the dirt soft. Then, He took that mud that He made and put it on the man’s eyes. He told the man to go and wash his eyes. The man did just as Jesus told him. As the water washed away the mud, something amazing started to happen. The man started to see light instead of darkness! He opened his eyes and looked around. He saw everything for the first time: the sky, the sun, the birds, the trees, the flowers, the animals, and the people. How wonderful it was for him to go home and see the faces of his parents and friends. He must have been very happy and thankful to Jesus. 

Jesus made new eyes for this blind man. Jesus can do everything because He is our Lord and God and he loves us so much. When we are sick or someone we know is sick, we should remember to pray and ask Jesus for help. Jesus will hear us when we pray and will do what is good for us.
