The Parent Weekly for January 28th, Jesus Cares
What we learned today:
Big Idea: Jesus Cares (part 1)
Matthew 14v13–21; Mark 6v30–44; Luke 9v10–17; John 6v1–15. Jesus cared so much for the crowd following Him that He taught the people, healed them, and fed them. Jesus provides abundantly for us because He cares for us.
Where we’re headed next time:
Big Idea: Jesus Cares (part 2)
Matthew 14v13–21; Mark 6v30–44; Luke 9v10–17; John 6v1–15. Jesus cared so much for the crowd following Him that He taught the people, healed them, and fed them. Jesus provides abundantly for us because He cares for us.
Did you know?
There were 5,000 men in the crowd, but there were probably several thousand more people there since that number does not include the women and children who were present.
After Jesus fed the 5,000, there were 12 baskets of leftovers!
Connect as a family
Balls are a favorite toy. Find a wide-open space and allow your little one to test her own power by seeing how far she can throw!
Discuss with your child some tangible ways we can show other people how much Jesus cares about them—using kind words, showing affection, etc
Blessing
Blessings are often used in the Bible. A blessing can be a prayer of commission, a portion of Scripture, or words to encourage and guide.
A blessing to pray over your child; (Child’s name), I pray that you will come to know Jesus as your shepherd, and know that He cares for you every day.
