REVIEW:

21  Essendo passato di nuovo Gesù all'altra riva, gli si radunò attorno molta folla, ed egli stava lungo il mare. 22  Si recò da lui uno dei capi della sinagoga, di nome Giàiro, il quale, vedutolo, gli si gettò ai piedi SCARICA Italian Teaching Video

23  e lo pregava con insistenza: «La mia figlioletta è agli estremi; vieni a imporle le mani perché sia guarita e viva». 24  Gesù andò con lui. Molta folla lo seguiva e gli si stringeva intorno.

35  Mentre ancora parlava, dalla casa del capo della sinagoga vennero a dirgli: «Tua figlia è morta. Perché disturbi ancora il Maestro?». 36  Ma Gesù, udito quanto dicevano, disse al capo della sinagoga: «Non temere, continua solo ad aver fede!». 37  E non permise a nessuno di seguirlo fuorchè a Pietro, Giacomo e Giovanni, fratello di Giacomo. 38  Giunsero alla casa del capo della sinagoga ed egli vide trambusto e gente che piangeva e urlava. 39  Entrato, disse loro: «Perché fate tanto strepito e piangete? La bambina non è morta, ma dorme». 40  Ed essi lo deridevano. Ma egli, cacciati tutti fuori, prese con sé il padre e la madre della fanciulla e quelli che erano con lui, ed entrò dove era la bambina. 41  Presa la mano della bambina, le disse: «Talità kum», che significa: «Fanciulla, io ti dico, alzati!». 42  Subito la fanciulla si alzò e si mise a camminare; aveva dodici anni. Essi furono presi da grande stupore. 43  Gesù raccomandò loro con insistenza che nessuno venisse a saperlo e ordinò di darle da mangiare.

TEACHING/ DRAMA:

If you were sick, what would your parents do? If you just had a tummy ache or a headache, they might give you some medicine, and rub your stomach and wait to see if it would make you feel better. But what if you didn't get better? What if you were so sick that your parents thought you might die? What would they do then? They would take you to the doctor right away! They would do everything possible to help you get well.

(Allocate a girl, have her laying down at the side of the room covered in a cloth ) In fact, he was certain that she was going to die and he would have done anything in his power to help her get well. Jairus was a ruler in the temple and he had heard about how Jesus had been healing many people, so when he saw Jesus, (Allocate a boy, dressed like Jesus) he ran to meet him right away. He fell at the feet of Jesus. " My daughter is sick and is about to die ," he said. " Please come and place your hands on her; heal her so she can live."

What did Jesus do? Did he say, "Give the girl two aspirin and if she isn't better by morning, give me a call?" Of course not! Jesus immediately began walking with Jairus toward his house so that he could heal the girl.

As they walked through the streets of town, ( Jesus and Jairus walk together ) some men came up to Jairus and said to him, ( Group of boys walk up and pretend to be upset and talk to him )" Your daughter is dead, there is no need to bother Jesus now ." Oh no! What bad news. Jairus had found Jesus and they were on the way to heal his daughter -- and now she was dead. Jairus was heart broken, ( Jairus holds his head and weeps ) but Jesus paid no attention to what the people said. He turned to Jairus and said, " Don't be afraid; just believe."

When they arrived at the home of Jairus, there were many people there and they were all crying. ( Group of girls act out the mourning weeping people ) Jesus said, " Why are you crying? The girl is not dead, she is asleep ." Do you know what the people did? They laughed at Jesus! ( Crowd begin to laugh and mock ) Can you imagine that? They laughed at Jesus!

Jesus told all of the people to leave and he took the mother and father and His three closest disciples into the room where the girl was. ( Jesus the disciples and parents walk over to the little girl) He took the girl by the hand and said, " Little girl, get up!" Immediately the girl stood up and began walking around the room. ( Girl does just that ) Her parents were amazed! ( Parents act amazed and grateful praising God. )

What can we learn from the story of Jairus?

•  In his story we saw how Jairus loved his daughter and would do anything for her. That is even more true of the love of our Heavenly Father.

•  God loves his children and will always do what is best for them.

•  Another thing we learn from this story is that with God, all things are possible. Jairus' daughter was dead -- the situation was hopeless! But Jesus said, " Don't be afraid; just believe." When you face what seems to be a hopeless situation, remember the words of Jesus, "Just believe!" SCARICA Colouring page visual aid
