Pray and Forgive

Name Date

Read the Story

Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a young donkey. People spread their coats and branches on the road. They shouted, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"

The next day Jesus went into the temple. People were buying and selling there. Jesus turned over their tables. He taught them that the Scriptures say God's house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations, but they had made it a den of robbers.

Jesus taught His disciples, "Have faith in God." He said that when we pray, we should believe. He also said, "Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions."

Memory Verse

“Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.”
