[Bible Trek: Luke] We Can Have Faith In JesusSample

Miracle—Something that Only God Can Do

Have you seen any miracles in your life or in someone else’s life? Miracles happen. The most important miracle was when God the Father sent his own Son to earth. Let’s read about that.

Read the Bible

In these verses, Jesus tells us why God sent him to earth. We also learn how the people of Jesus’s hometown reacted to his words in the synagogue (their place of worship). Wow! Instead of treating him like a hometown hero, they got angry! Jesus left Nazareth. People in other places were amazed at his words and miracles.

Think about it

"The Lord’s Spirit has come to me because he has chosen me to tell the good news to the poor. The Lord has sent me to announce freedom for prisoners, to give sight to the blind, to free everyone who suffers, and to say, ‘This is the year the Lord has chosen.'"( Luke 4:18-19). These words that Jesus spoke were first written by the prophet Isaiah, more than 700 years before Jesus was born! They were written about Jesus, to tell us why God was going to send him to earth. When Jesus said those things about himself, he was telling the people that he was the Messiah. God has a purpose for our lives, too. Just like Jesus, we are here to tell others the good news!

Do something about it

What can you do with your family to make a difference in someone else’s life? Can you take a tray of sandwiches to a homeless shelter? Can you visit someone who is sick to encourage him or her? 

Talk to God

“God, help me remember that you have a purpose for my life, just like Jesus."
