SuperVerse

Have the children look up Acts 10:38 as you slowly read the SuperVerse once.

God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. 

Our SuperVerse explains how Jesus could do miracles. He didn’t use trickery like Miraculo; He was anointed with God’s Holy Spirit and power to do REAL miracles. Does anyone know what anoint means?

It means to put oil on something, to set something aside, or place a call on someone’s life for a particular purpose. Jesus healed the man who was paralyzed. He cast out the demons from the man who was oppressed by the devil. The power of the storm was no match for God’s power! Jesus taught God’s Word with power! As Peter said in the video, Jesus’ words and miracles were very real because they came from God!

Have all the children sit down. The girls should stand up and read the first section of the verse, then sit down; the boys then quickly stand up and read the second section; then everyone stands and shouts the last section together. Repeat once, having the children compete to see which group can say their section the loudest. Then change the order and have the boys stand and read first, then the girls, with everyone joining for the third part.

Jesus didn’t do miracles for fun, or to draw a crowd, like Miraculo did. The Lord dearly loves people, and He deeply cares about all of our needs. Jesus cared so much about the man who was being tormented by the demons that He traveled all the way across the Sea of Galilee to save him, heal him, and set him free! We serve a wonderful Savior, don’t we!

Note: Younger children may not be able to memorize the SuperVerse. They may simply repeat it several times, while older children may memorize part or all of it. Be sure all children understand its meaning.
