Jesus sent them into this storm for a reason. Ask: Was the windstorm a surprise to Jesus? No. Say: Jesus sent His friends across the lake when the storm winds were coming. Right away Jesus called out to them, “Be brave! It is I. They saw Him walking on the lake and were terrified. It was being pounded by the waves because the wind was blowing against it.Įarly in the morning, Jesus went out to the disciples. The boat was already a long way from land. After He had sent them away, He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. He had them go on ahead of Him to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. Right away Jesus made the disciples get into the boat. Remember, the Sea of Galilee was actually a big lake. He sent the crowd away, and sent the disciples across the Sea of Galilee. Say: Right after the miracle of the fish and bread, Jesus had something new to teach His disciples. How many times do we, though filled with the Spirit, fail to recognize God’s work in our lives? Jesus Walks On The Water (Matthew 14:22-36) After all, they did not yet have the Holy Spirit to guide them into all truth (John 16:13). Teacher Note: We can’t be too quick to judge the disciples’ unyielding hearts. This time the disciples would finally realize who Jesus really was. They were not yet seeing with “kingdom eyes.” So, Jesus was about to do another miracle. They knew Jesus was special, but they did not yet realize that He was the Messiah, God in a human body (Matthew 14:33). The Bible says their hearts were hard, or stubborn (Mark 6:52). And there were twelve baskets of food left over! (Luke 9:17) The disciples were a part of this miracle, yet the Bible says they did not fully understand it (Mark 6:52). The disciples handed out enough bread and fish to feed everyone in the crowd until they were full. It was only two fish and five small loaves of bread, but Jesus broke that bread, and just kept breaking it. Jesus took the lunch that a young boy gave Him (John 6:9). And after listening to Jesus teach for hours, the crowd was getting hungry. The gospels tell of one day when a crowd of 5,000 men, plus women and children, gathered to hear Jesus! (Matthew 14:21) That means there may have been 20,000 people who came to hear Jesus teach that day. It seemed that a crowd gathered wherever Jesus was. Last week we saw that Jesus had power over sickness & death, when He healed the woman with the bleeding disorder and raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead.Īs news spread about Jesus, the miracle Worker, more and more people wanted to hear Him and see Him. We learned that Jesus has complete power over evil spirits, and Jesus alone has the authority to forgive sin. Then we saw that Jesus had power over nature when He calmed the raging sea with just a word. Jesus taught that the kingdom of God was very different than this world. First, we saw that the Jewish people waited hundreds of years for their King. Say: We have learned a lot about Jesus over the past few weeks. (If using electric fans, turn them on and point at the kids.) One adult should flash lights on and off as Storm soundtrack plays. They should move around the room and lightly spray kids with water bottles and use fans to blow wind in their face. Teacher: Prearrange with some adults to come up front to distract the students at the right time. Props: 2 or 3 spray bottles with water, hand held battery-operated fans or paper fans (or even electric fans), storm soundtrack This activity uses the water wave generator only.Let us keep looking to Jesus. “Wave Interference” simulates water, sound, and light wave generators. This tech lab and corresponding key were written using “Wave Interference” version 1.07. The PhET simulator used in this tech lab is “Wave Interference.” Download and run it before class to make sure your computers can run it. You can download all the PhET simulators from their web site, free of charge. A high-tech alternative is the “virtual ripple tank.” The Physics Education Technology Group (PhET) at the University of Colorado at Boulder has developed dozens of excellent, interactive physics computer simulations. Unfortunately, ripple tanks are bulky and can be difficult to work with and maintain. Many wave characteristics and phenomena can be demonstrated and investigated with the ripple tank. Water Waves in an Electric Sink Ripple tanks were once very common in physics labs.
