Peter & John Heal a Man and Tell People About Jesus – Craft Video
Based on Acts 3 – 4:1-22
April 29, 2020
Peter and John meet a crippled man at one of gates to Jerusalem. He cannot walk and his friends and family bring him to the gate everyday so he can beg for money. Begging for money is his job. He asks Peter and John for money, but they have no money. Instead, they offer him healing in the name of Jesus. The man is healed and begins to walk and jump around, praising Jesus. Everyone who saw was amazed and Peter began to speak about Jesus and encourage them to change their hearts and lives to follow Jesus.
After Peter and John healed the crippled man, the authorities were very upset. Peter and John were arrested and thrown into prison. The next day Peter and John were brought before the council of leaders. They refused to stop talking about Jesus. The leaders were afraid that the people would believe in Jesus so much that Peter and John might gain power over the council. No one could deny the healing of the man. In the end, the leaders had to let Peter and John go.
Read the scripture (Acts 3 – 4:1-22) and think about these questions.
- Was the healing of this man a miracle?
- What is a miracle?
- Do you see miracles every day?
- Have you ever seen a miracle?
- Did Peter and John get in trouble with the authorities in this story?
- Did they talk too much?
- Do you ever talk too much?
- Have you ever gotten in trouble for talking too much?
- What 3 words describe Jesus?
- What can you say about Jesus that will help others understand his life?
- How do you know about Jesus?
Talk with your family about Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Think and act in ways that show love, peace and mercy. Look for healing and forgiveness in our world today. Pray with your family. Thank GOD for being with us here and now, even if we cannot see.
