Hey-O Kids Curriculum’s primary goal with the Stories of the Bible is to tell the stories from God’s word accurately and in a way that is engaging to children of all ages.The Miracle of Mercy Jesus Heals  This is Jesus! Who is the Son of God and the Savior of the world Jesus did many amazing things He taught everyone about God's love and healed people from their sickness, He and even calmed storms.  The news of Jesus had spread all around and many people wanted to come and see what He was doing.  No matter where Jesus went, great crowds of people would follow Him.  Jesus went to His own town and news spread that He was back home.  Soon, the house where he was staying was packed.  So Jesus began to preach God's word to the people.  Meanwhile, some men heard that Jesus was in town. So they decided to take their paralyzed friend to him to be healed, for their friend wasn't able to walk. But when they got to the house. They couldn't reach Jesus because of the crowd.So they went to the roof. And dug a hole right above Jesus. Then they lowered their friend down into the crowd right in front of Jesus. Jesus saw their faith, so he said,  Son, your sins are forgiven  There were some Pharisees and teachers of religious law in the room though And they were horrified that Jesus would say such a thing they said to themselves. Only God can forgive sins. Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he asked them, Why do you question this?Is it easier to say to this man, Your sins are forgiven, or stand up, pick up your mat, and walk?  Jesus went on to say that he would prove to them that he was allowed to forgive sins. And so Jesus said to the paralyzed man, Stand up. Pick up your mat and go home. So the paralyzed man stood up and picked up his mat.The entire room was stunned as the man walked out through the crowd.  All were amazed and praised God, saying, We've never seen anything like this before. And they believed that God had sent Jesus with the authority to forgive sins and the ability to help the hurting.
