Jesus Heals Bartimaeus

In today's lesson we learn about ...
Jesus Heals Bartimaeus --- Mark 10:46-52

In week four, we finish up in Mark 10:46-52 with an encounter between Jesus and Bartimaeus. Bartimaeus was blind. Because of this, he was often ignored by those who passed by him. When he learns that Jesus is passing by, he calls out for help.
Rather than walking past and getting on with his day, Jesus takes time to stop and help Bartimaeus. Jesus knew that Bartimaeus had faith and healed him, changing his life forever.

Our Bottom Line This Week Is: ... Make Time To Help Others.

We all know people who require some help and compassion. However, we don’t always prioritize those people in our lives. Jesus showed us that prioritizing others and making time for them is important for demonstrating His love.
We pray that kids will have a chance to think about the ways they make time throughout their day to meet the needs of those around them.

Our Memory Verse This Month Is: ... "The Lord Has Shown You What Is Good. He Has Told You What He Requires Of You. You Must Act With Justice. You Must Love To Show Mercy. And You Must Be Humble As You Live In The Sight Of Your God." Micah 6:8 , NIRV

Remember that Compassion is: Caring Enough To Do Something About Someone Else’s Need.
