January Biblemaniacs Wrap-Up

This month, through art, film clips and games we learned about the four friends who took their other friend to Jesus. Okay, you'd probably do the same. BUT...they took him because he was paralyzed AND they knew by taking him to Jesus, He could heal their friend.

When they got to the home where Jesus was teaching, there seemed to be no room. That had to be a shock to the men. They knew what they had to do and knew what Jesus could do and yet it appeared they wouldn't be able to get to him.

Did they allow that little obstacle to stop them? Nope! Up the stairs to the roof they went. Next thing the people in the house know...pieces of roof are coming down on them and a hole opens up. The friends lower their other friend into the house and Jesus does exactly what they were certain He could...he healed the man!

Friendship is such an important thing. After watching a portion of "The Miracle Maker," you were asked what makes a good friend. Here are some of the answers:

Veronica: "Not bossy"

Lyndon: "Likes you for who you are."

Emma J.: "Trust them"

Abby: "Have fun with them"
