Talk About the Bible Story

The Man with Leprosy

Open the Bible together and read Matthew 8:1-3 and Mark 1:40-45 or watch the video together on the Parent Cue app.

“Be kind and loving to each other.”

Ephesians 4:32, NCV

Engagement Questions

• Who does Jesus love?
• Jesus loves us even when we have boo-boos. Name some of the boo-boos you've had.

Prayer

“Dear God, thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to love everyone. Everyone gets sick and has boo-boos, so it’s really great to know that Jesus loves us when we do. Help us to love everyone like Jesus does. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER

Morning Time

When you go into your child’s room, cuddle them and say: "Good morning, [child's name]! Do you know why I'm smiling? I'm smiling because I know we can talk to Jesus and ask Him for help anytime we need it, just like the man with leprosy did."
 

Drive Time

While on the go, every time you see a person, say: "Jesus loves that person!" Talk about how Jesus loves everyone!

Cuddle Time

Cuddle with your child and pray: "God, thank You for sending Jesus to love people who are sick and have boo-boos, just like Jesus loved the man with leprosy in the Bible."
 

Bath Time

Use a washable marker to make dots on a plastic toy. Give the toy to your child during bath time. Tell them to wash the "boo-boos" off. Talk about how there was a man in the Bible who had boo-boos all over his skin. No one would touch the man or be his friend until he met Jesus. Jesus was his friend! Jesus touched him and made all of his boo-boos go away!
