Bible Lessons and Activities Underscoring Jesus’ Divinity

We will start with the following stories, but more lessons for other events are coming.

Jesus Calmed the Storm – Jesus was not just a great religious leader. More than once Jesus demonstrated he had power over the created order and his calming of the storm is one such incident. Related activities can be found here.

Nicodemus Visited Jesus – Jesus taught that we all need a spiritual birth as well as a physical birth and underscored God’s loving sacrifice of His Son (Jesus) for the world.  Related activities can be found here.

Jesus Ate with Zacchaeus – Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus demonstrates that he calls all people to a high standard of living according to God’s highest law; the law of love. Jesus demonstrated this very love by caring for Zacchaeus, even though this tax collector’s own actions had excluded him from the family of God. Related activities can be found here.

Jesus Healed a Royal Official’s Son – Because he is God, Jesus is able to perform miracles over any distance. He can do whatever he chooses however he chooses to do it. Related activities can be found here.

Jesus Blessed the Children – God has always placed a high value on children. When Jesus blessed the children he showed they were just as important to him as they are to God. Related activities can be found here.
