Luke 9 · Grade 3
You Are the Christ
Read the Story
Jesus gave the twelve power to heal and sent them to preach God's Kingdom. When they came back, a crowd of about five thousand men followed Jesus. With only five loaves and two fish, Jesus blessed the food, and everyone ate until they were full. Twelve baskets of pieces were left.
Later Jesus asked His disciples who people said He was. Then He asked, But who do you say that I am? Peter answered that He was the Christ of God. Jesus said that anyone who wants to follow Him must deny himself and take up his cross daily.
Jesus took Peter, James and John up a mountain to pray. His face changed, and His clothes became bright white. Moses and Elijah talked with Him. A cloud came, and a voice said, This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!
