<p>What Jesus Said</p> <p>miniBFFs, have you ever heard about the Sermon on the Mount? I know, it’s kind of a funny name right? But the Sermon on the Mount is a very important message that Jesus gave to a crowd of people about being a follower of God. Today’s story is an example of one of the many reasons why I am so thankful to have the Bible because it tells us about all the very important things that Jesus taught while He was on earth. </p> <p>This story, What Jesus Said, comes from the book <a href="https://faithgateway.com/products/i-wonder-exploring-gods-grand-story-an-illustrated-bible?variant=39308878610568">I Wonder</a> and can be found on page 126. You can also read more about this story from Matthew 5:14-6:34 in the Bible. </p> <p>We have teamed up with Zonderkidz this season to learn all about the Gospels by reading stories from these three storybook Bibles: <a href="https://faithgateway.com/products/the-jesus-storybook-bible-every-story-whispers-his-name?variant=13751222370415">Jesus Storybook Bible</a>, <a href="https://faithgateway.com/products/the-tiny-truths-illustrated-bible-1?variant=34351669772424">The Tiny Truths Illustrated Bible</a> and <a href="https://faithgateway.com/products/i-wonder-exploring-gods-grand-story-an-illustrated-bible?variant=39308878610568">I Wonder</a>.

<p>There is nothing I love more than reading about Jesus healing those who need healing! Right, miniBFFS??  In our story today, Jesus shows us that He loves everyone by taking care of the people who were not welcomed by others. He helps someone who is blind, someone who couldn’t walk, and someone who had horrible sickness that no one wanted to be around. Jesus not only wanted to be around them, He wanted to heal them. </p> <p>This story, Jesus Helps and Heals, comes from <a href="https://faithgateway.com/products/the-tiny-truths-illustrated-bible-1?variant=34351669772424">The Tiny Truths Illustrated Bible</a> and can be found on page 152.

<p>miniBFFs, we really love the story for this episode because we get to witness Jesus perform not one, but two, miracles. This is the story about a father who wanted his little girl to get better and about a woman who had been sick for a very long time and also wanted to get better. Spoiler alert - Jesus heals them both! But the way that these miracles happened is very different.</p> <p>This story, A Little Girl and a Poor Frail Lady, comes from the<a href="https://faithgateway.com/products/the-jesus-storybook-bible-every-story-whispers-his-name?variant=13751222370415"> Jesus Storybook Bible</a> and can be found on page 214.
