Jerusalem had a very special place.It had a pool surrounded by a lot of people.Every so often, the waters moved. God would send an angel to move the water and the first sick man who bathed in the moving water, was healed.

How fabu-lous!

God is love.That place must have been so nice.God, in His great love, has left us a special place for each of us to enjoy.His nature.Being able to enjoy His blessings is wonderful.

There was a crowd of sick, blind, deaf, and paralyzed people. They were sad and had no hope especially one man who was paralyzed. He could not go to the pool of water because he was para-lyzed. He was sure that he’d never be healed.

Noooo!(sad face`)Really?

Have you ever been sick?We may have different diseases in our bodies, like chickenpox, colds or other disease.Sin is also like a disease. Give the definition of sin. Romans 3:23We've all sinned. We do bad things. Could it be that, like the paralytic, we don’t have a solu-tion?

Sick people around the pool.Kids fighting.Faces of evil.Written words: fights, screams, and rudeness

Suddenly someone came up to the paralyzed man and started talking to him. It was Jesus who came up because he had realized that this man had been sick for a longtime.The paralytic was paralyzed sitting there for 38 years.Jesus came and said:Do you want to be healed?The man wanted to heal himself, but never made it to the water on time.

(Smile)

The paralytic said yes!

Christ died for me and for you.Someone remembered us too. Many years ago, God sent Jesus to this earth to save us.Though Jesus never sinned, He decided to give His life for all sinners.Romans 5:8That was the greatest gift God could give each of us.Because of Him, we have the pos-sibility to be saved.

Jesus talking to the paralyzed man.Jesus on the Cross and the Empty Tomb.

The paralytic said Yes! In a single moment Jesus said stand up, take you bed and go home

Wonderful!

You know what?

Today we have the possibility of receiving that gift from God, but we must do two things. One is to believe and the other is to ask for forgiveness for all the bad things we have done.You need to choose to receive that gift from God.Do you want to do it today?Pray to the Lord. John 1:12

The paralyzed man took his bed and praised God. Jesus hugging a child/person or Jesus with open arms.Hand delivering a gift with the wordSalvation

This paralyzed man happily went to look for all the peo-ple he loved most in his life.

What about you?

Jesus now lives in your heart. We can be sure that he will always be with us. But if we sin again we must pray to ask the Lord for forgiveness.

Happy Paralyzed man.Happy children.Children praying

They were informed that they should go to a certain place.There were a lot of people.They were ordered to kneel and worship a giant statue resembling the king.They knew that only God should be worshiped. What a decision!The three friends had decided to always be faithful to God.They remembered God’s promise in Revelation 2:10

What was go-ing to happen now?!

Have you ever been through a hard time?Never forget God's promises.Psalms 27:1Psalms 56:11Romans 8:31These promises can be learned and remembered as you go through difficult times.

Statue of Nebu-chadnezzarPeople kneel-ing before the statue Worried chil-dren
