Jesus sent his disciples away in a boat. It was time to cross the lake. But Jesus didn't have a boat, so he started walking toward the boat. How did he do that? He believed that when God told him to do something he would have the power to do it. He walked by faith. When Peter saw Jesus, he wanted to walk on the water too. Can he do it?

Jesus gave his disciples power over demons and over disease. He sent them out to different villages to tell people about the kingdom of God. Their words were like seeds that found a place in people's hearts. Where their words were received, the kingdom of God came. If people didn't want to hear it, then the disciples were free to leave. 

When Jesus was invited to Simon the Pharisee's house, he wasn't greeted with a kiss, he wasn't offered water for his feet, and he didn't get any perfumed ointment for his head. But when the sinful woman came, she kissed Jesus' feet, and washed them with her hair. Jesus explained her behavior. He told Simon that whoever has a lot of sins forgiven will have a lot more love than someon who is only forgiven for a few sins. 

Have you ever felt like you were too young or too foolish to be important to God? Jesus wants to tell you something in this story. John the Baptist sent messengers to see how Jesus was doing. Jesus was doing everything that God wanted him to do. He was healing the sick, making blind people see, making lame people walk, and even making dead people come back to life. When you recognize Jesus, and agree with God about him, you become born into God's kingdom. God invites people who are like children, and who are foolish to come close to him. 

When Jesus ate with sinners, people who were doing wrong things, it was confusing to people who were being good. They thought he was making a mistake. Jesus told them about finding a lost sheep to explain why he wanted to be with sinners. 

When Jesus crossed the lake, a man came running toward him and fell at his feet. He was full of demons! The demons talked to Jesus and asked him not to send them into the dark pit. They wanted to go into a big herd of pigs that was nearby. Jesus gave them permission, and they all came out of the man.  But what happened to those pigs?

The ten sick men stayed away from Jesus and his friends. They didn't want Jesus to get leprosy. It was an incurable skin disease. But they knew Jesus could heal people, so they yelled, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!" Jesus didn't touch them, but he yelled back. "Go show yourselves to the priest!" As they were going, they noticed something happening to their skin. What was happening? Can Jesus heal people by yelling at them?

Nicodemus knows that Jesus must be sent by God. He can heal people, feed them, raise people from the dead! 

Jesus took good care of people, like a shepherd takes care of his sheep. When they were out in the field away from home, they didn't have any food. One little boy had brought his lunch. He had five loaves and two fish. Will that be enough for five thousand people?

A blind man was sitting near the road when Jesus was going by. He heard that Jesus could heal people, so he shouted out! Jesus heard him, and called for him to come closer. Jesus asked him what he wanted. He wanted to see. Can Jesus make his eyes get well?
