Mark 9 · Grade 3
Servant of All
Read the Story
Jesus took Peter, James and John up a high mountain. He was changed in front of them. His clothes became very white, like snow. Elijah and Moses talked with Him. A cloud came, and a voice said, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
When they came down, a father asked Jesus to help his son, who was suffering. The father said, "I believe. Help my unbelief!" Jesus made the boy well.
On the road, the disciples argued about who was the greatest. Jesus said, "If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all." He took a little child in His arms. He said whoever welcomes a child like this in His name welcomes Him. Even giving a cup of water in His name will be rewarded.
