The King's Question - Sunday Stories for Families

About this sermon

The King's Question - Mark 7:22-30 Jesus healed a blind man in two stages to show that people, including the disciples, needed help to see clearly who he is. Here are some things to think and talk about to help you understand this Bible story better. 1. What happened in the story? a) Who struggled to see who Jesus was? [The crowds/people (8:27-28)] b) Who saw clearly? [The disciples (8:29)] c) What did they see? [That Jesus was the promised king (8:29)] d) And how do these two story (The healing and the conversation with Jesus' disciples) relate to each other? 2. Think about your own journey of coming to understand who Jesus is? a) Was there a time when you could not see at all? b) Was there a time when you didn't see clearly? c) What made you see clearly? 3. How can we see and understand who Jesus is? a) Is it possible to understand who Jesus is without God's help? b) Give thanks that God helps us to see who Jesus is. Memory Verse "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Messiah!" Mark 8:29 [NIV] Let's pray Thank you God for sending us Jesus so that we can understand your love and care for us.
