Dear Parents,
   This week's lesson in Bible emphasizes the power of Jesus.  We will be focusing
on some of Jesus' miracles.  Jesus performed many miracles demonstrating that
He truly is the Son of God.

                                                            The Miracles of Jesus
 * Water into Wine

   The first miracle that Jesus did was at a wedding feast in the town of Cana in Galilee.
   Jesus' mother, Mary, told Jesus that the wedding host was out of wine.  Jesus told
   the servants to fill the water pots with water and then when they dipped it out, there
   was wine in the jars.  Jesus had turned the water into wine. John 2:1-11

 * Calming the Storm

   Jesus and his disciples were out on the lake when a storm suddenly came up.  Jesus
   was asleep in the boat and his friends were afraid.  They woke him.  He got up and
   told the storm to stop and it was completely calm; the wind stopped blowing and 
   the water was still.  His disciples were amazed!  "Even the winds and the waves
   obey Him," they said.  Matthew 8: 23-27

 * Healings

   Jesus healed  Simon Peter's mother-in-law who had a dangerous fever.  She got up
   and served them.  Matthew 8:14-15

  There was a  man in Jerusalem who had been blind from birth.  Jesus put clay
   on the blind man's eyes and told him to go wash in the pool of Siloam.  When
   he washed the clay off, he could see. John 9: 1-41

   Once in Jerusalem,  a blind beggar named Bartimaeus asked Jesus for mercy and
   healing.  Jesus told him that his faith had cured him and the man praised God for his
   sight.  Mark 10: 46-52
 

   There was a paralyzed man in Capernaum.  He couldn't walk, so his friends took him
   to see Jesus.  There was such a crowd that they could not get him into the house where
   Jesus was.  They made a hole in the roof and let their friend down through the roof.
   Jesus told him that his sins were forgiven and to rise, take up his bed and go home.
   Some of the people doubted Jesus at first, but they were then amazed as the man stood
   up straight and tall. Luke 5:17-26

    Ten men who had leprosy asked Jesus to help them.  Jesus was not afraid of the
    disease.  He told them to go and show themselves to the priests, and as they were
    going, they were completely cured!  Only one of the ten lepers ran back to Jesus
    and fell down on his knees and thanked him. Luke 17: 11-19
 

Memory verse 

And he arose, and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea, "Peace, be still."
And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

                             Mark 4:39
