We wrap up our season of the gospels with this beautiful story from the Jesus Storybook Bible. We know that Jesus came back to the disciples to show them that he is alive. But the disciples always knew that he would have to go back to heaven to be with God. Jesus had told the disciples that he was getting a place ready for them and they knew the way to get there. In our story today we get to read all about Jesus reminding the disciples how to find their way to him and teaching us to do the same. 

This story, Going Home, comes from the Jesus Storybook Bible and can be found on page 318. You can also read more about this story from Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24 and John 14 in the Bible.

When Jesus was crucified his disciples were so scared that they went off and hid from everyone. They were worried that what happened to Jesus would happen to them too. But there was one person they could not hide from. And that would be Jesus himself! In fact they thought he was a ghost when they first saw him! But he was not a ghost. He was very much alive and ready to help them tell the world all about him. 

This story, Jesus Comes back, comes from The Tiny Truths Illustrated Bible and can be found on page 198. You can also read more about this story from Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24,  John 20 in the Bible.

We know about Easter Sunday but did you know that there is a very important day that comes before Easter? Well, it is called Good Friday. On this day the people who didn’t know Jesus and all the wonderful ways he loved the world, decided that Jesus wasn't allowed to live anymore. Our story today talks about what happened on that day. It can feel really hard to read because it is so hard to think about Jesus being treated so badly. But miniBFFs we know that what happened on Good Friday isn’t how this story ends.

This story, The Sun Stops Shining, comes from The Jesus Storybook Bible and can be found on page 302. You can also read more about this story from Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23 John 19 in the Bible.

What if you went to your friend’s house and you didn’t find your friend, you found a huge angel waiting for you instead?! I mean that would be really cool, a little scary, and super crazy all at the same time.

This story, God’s Wonderful Surprise, comes from The Jesus Storybook Bible and can be found on page 310. You can also read more about this story from Matthew 28, Mark 16, Luke 24,  John 20 in the Bible.

When you are done playing outside at the end of each day I bet your feet might be a little stinky? To get those feet cleaned up I bet you would normally use soap and water! Right?! Well guess who else has had stinky feet? Jesus! Yep, minibffs even Jesus’ feet got dirty and He had to have His feet cleaned at the end of the day too!! But in the story we are reading today, He didn't use soap and water to clean His feet. Nope! His feet were cleaned with tears (and a whole jar of perfume) from a woman who had made a lot of mistakes. 

This story, Washed with Tears, comes from The Jesus Storybook Bible and can be found on page 286. You can also read more about this story from Matthew 26, Mark 14, John 12 in the Bible.

Have you ever been to a parade and had a really hard time being able to see all the excitement passing in front of you? Don’t you just wish there was a way you could make yourself taller?! Well, Zacchaeus had this problem too. He had heard Jesus was coming to town and wanted to see him. But he was so short that the only way he could get a look at his face was to climb a tree!! That part of the story is very fun. But it isn’t my favorite part. No, I like the part where Jesus finds Zacchaeus in the tree. 

This story, Zacchaeus, comes from The Tiny Truths Illustrated Bible and can be found on page 168. You can also read more about this story from Luke 19 in the Bible.

Jesus spent a lot of time telling us parables while He was on earth. This episode is the parable about a son who told his father he was ready to go off and explore the world and take all his money with him. But the son didn’t handle his adventure very well. He made a lot of mistakes along the way. So many that he was afraid to go home to his dad and admit what he had done. Now we know from the title that the son does go back home. But what do you think his dad does when he arrives? I can’t wait for us to listen and find out! 

This story, The Son Who Came Home, comes from the book I Wonder and can be found on page 144. You can also read more about this story from Luke 15 in the Bible.

You may have heard about the rule in the Bible that says to love God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. AND to love your neighbor the way you love yourself. But that word neighbor wasn’t easy for everyone to understand. Because Jesus isn’t just talking about the person who lives next door to you when he says to love your neighbor. Oh no, it is so much more than that miniBFFs. And we get to learn all about who exactly He is talking about in today’s lesson. 

This story, The Good Samaritan, comes from The Tiny Truths Illustrated Bible and can be found on page 180. You can also read more about this story from Luke 10 in the Bible.
