Guardians Of Ancora Bible Plan: Jesus Forgives And Heals

DAY 2 OF 5

THANK YOU!

The realisation of what had just taken place must have been overwhelming. The sheer joy of knowing that it was all over, at last. The suffering, the pain and the immobility had gone, immediately. It was for real and it was weird! Being able to move, let alone walk, was so incredible. The unbelievable had actually happened. One minute it was a question of looking up at Jesus from the floor, and then suddenly it was face to face, looking him in the eye.

Now, what to do first? Try everything – walking, running, jumping, bending, kneeling – the list was endless! Definitely no more lying down for a while, apart from sleeping. There had been enough of that to last a whole lifetime. What about shoes, or sandals? They were necessary now.

Thank you, Jesus! Thank you for an amazing miracle, but thanks too for the miracle of forgiveness. All those wrong thoughts, words and deeds, sorted. Forever.

TALKABOUT

Lie on your backs on the floor and imagine you can’t move. Tell each other how you are feeling. What do you want more than anything?

Now pretend you are going down through the roof of a house to Jesus! Hear Jesus say: ‘All the things you’ve said and done wrong are forgiven.’ What do you want to say to Jesus?

 

TALKING WITH GOD TOGETHER

It’s not ‘pretend’ now! Hear Jesus say to you: ‘All the things you’ve said and done wrong are forgiven.’ Say what you want to say to Jesus.

PLAYING GUARDIANS OF ANCORA

Switch on your device, go to the Spire and select the Bible Quest ‘Jesus Forgives and Heals’ (tap the ‘game-controller’ icon).

Have you completed the chapter? The story finds you in Capernaum, but in this neighbourhood, some people don’t have anywhere to live or have enough money to eat. Some aren’t able to work because they can’t walk. There’s one – we’re calling him Rosh. His friends have brought him to a house where Jesus is. They know if they can get him in to see Jesus, then Rosh will be healed! But how will they get Rosh to Jesus?

As you play together and see what happens in the game, you’ll find many opportunities to chat naturally about God, the Bible and the stories of Jesus. What is your favourite part of this story? Why do you like that part so much?
