Sunday 31st January – Jesus performs a miracle Read: Mark 1: 21-28
Jesus’ ministry had begun! He had been baptised, called his disciples and was now starting to do God’s work on earth. He started his work by teaching in the synagogue. Everyone was amazed at what Jesus said but also by how he said it. Jesus taught with authority. The people had not heard teaching like this before.
Jesus did Gods work in other ways as well – helping others and healing the sick. Jesus performed lots of different miracles – can you think of any examples?
Jesus was able to do all these things because of the authority of God.
Watch:
Who was Jesus? What did he do on earth? How old was he when he started his work on earth? How was he able to do all these things? Why did he come to earth?

Father in heaven watch over our loved ones.
Keep them by your side.
May they be safe and peaceful, in you may they abide.
Give wisdom to the doctors and nurses too we pray,
renew their strength and bless them for the work they do each day.
Send healing and restoration and let them feel your love.
