Luke 9 · Grade 4

Following the Christ

Name Date

Read and Think

Jesus sent the twelve apostles out with power to heal and to preach God's Kingdom. They were to trust God for what they needed. Even King Herod heard about Jesus and wondered who He was. When the apostles returned, a great crowd followed Jesus. Late in the day, there were five loaves and two fish. Jesus blessed them and broke them, and more than five thousand people were fed. Twelve baskets were left over.

Then Jesus asked His disciples, Who do you say that I am? Peter answered, The Christ of God. Jesus explained that He would suffer, be killed, and be raised on the third day. Following Him means saying no to ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and following Him.

About eight days later, on a mountain, Jesus' face shone and His clothes became dazzling white. Moses and Elijah spoke with Him about His departure in Jerusalem. The Father spoke from a cloud and said to listen to His Son. Later the disciples argued about who was greatest. Jesus put a little child beside Him and said the least among them is great.
