Jesus the SON Jesus went up a mountain with Peter,

James, and John.

Then, Jesus’ clothes became so white they

shone.

Elijah and Moses then appeared and began

talking with Jesus.

Then a cloud appeared and covered them.

EARLY CHILDHOOD

A voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son.

Listen to him!”

Elijah and Moses disappeared and they were alone with Jesus.

As they left, Jesus told

them not to tell anyone what they had seen.

He told them to wait until the Son of Man had risen from the

dead. ST BART’S KIDS on SUNDAYS \\ September 6, 2020 2

So they kept quiet, but they were confused Jesus meant by “rise

from the dead.” Mark 9: 2-10


Jesus the SON

Ch9V2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John

with him. They went up a high mountain.

Suddenly, Jesus looked different. 3 His clothes became so white they

shone.

4Then Elijah and Moses appeared and began

talking with Jesus.


LOWER PRIMARY

5&6Peter didn’t really know what to say, because they

were so afraid.

7 Then a cloud appeared and covered

them. A voice came from the cloud. It said, “This is my Son, and I

love him. Listen to him!”

8 They looked around. Suddenly they no longer saw anyone with them

except Jesus.


9 They came down the mountain. Jesus ordered them

not to tell anyone what they had seen.

He told them to wait until the Son of Man had risen from the

dead.

10 So they kept quiet but they asked each other

what does “rising from the dead” mean?

Mark 9: 2-10


Jesus the SON

Ch9V2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him.

He led them up a high mountain. They were all alone.

changed. 3 His clothes became so white they

shone. They were whiter than anyone in the world could

make them.

4 Elijah and Moses appeared in front of

Jesus and his disciples. The two of them were

talking with Jesus.

5 Peter said to Jesus, “Teacher, it is good

for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters.

One will be for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

6 Peter didn’t really know what to say, because they

were so afraid.


7 Then a cloud appeared, covering them. A voice came

from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”

8 They looked around. Suddenly they no longer saw anyone with them

except Jesus.

9 They came down the mountain. On the way down, Jesus ordered

them not to tell anyone what they had seen.


He told them to wait until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

10 So they kept the matter to themselves.

But they asked each other what what it meant to “rise

from the dead”.

LOWER PRIMARY

6. Who should we listen to? (We should listen to Jesus.)

7. How do we listen to Jesus? (We can listen to Jesus in lots of ways. Praying to him at anytime, reading what he has to say in the Bible, trying to listen to what the Holy Spirit prompts us to do.)

8. How can we be reminded of God’s glory? (Worship at church on Sundays helps us to be reminded of God. We can also be reminded when we look at everything God has made - from the stars, to the mountains, to the flowers, and the birds. These remind us how great and amazing our God is!)

Prayer Heavenly Father, thank you for showing us who Jesus really is - your Son, our God, full of glory! We thank you that you came down to earth and invite every person to be with you forever. Thank you for making this possible through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Please help us this week to be reminded of your presence everyday. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

Main Point: God in an amazing and dazzling display points to Jesus as his son. Through Jesus, we can come into the presence of God.

Discussion Questions Read Mark 9:2-8 from the Bible Story (page 1-3)

1. What amazing things have already happened that indicate Jesus is important? (When Jesus was baptised, God declared from heaven that Jesus is God’s son, whom he loves and is pleased with. Jesus has performed incredible miracles - healing, removing evil, calming a storm, feeding 5000 people. He has forgiven people’s sins, which only God can do.)

2. If you could pick two people to talk with from the Old Testament, who would they be? (Before the disciples two of the most important heroes of the Jews appeared - Moses and Elijah.)

3. Who were Moses and Elijah? (They were people used by God to point many people to God. Moses was chosen by God to lead the people out of slavery and through the desert to the promised land. God did amazing miracles through Elijah to point out that God is in control and the true Lord of all.)

4. Of these three people - Moses, Elijah, and Jesus - who stands out the most? Why? ( Jesus does. Everything points to him.)

5. What are the clues that Jesus is God, and God’s son? ( Jesus’ clothes become so white they shone, Moses and Elijah appear, clouds cover the mountain, and God’s voice is heard saying Jesus is his son!)

6. With all this happening, it would have been overwhelming! Why do you think Peter wanted to build three shelters? (Peter is really scared and didn’t know what to say. He suggests the first thing which comes to mind - which is traditionally God’s people have only ever been able to safely approach God through the tabernacle or temple. This is where God came to be with his people, but he is now with us in Jesus.)

7. How can we be in God’s presence today? (When we worship together, with all God’s people on a Sunday, is a powerful way we are reminded and brought into the presence of God. The Holy Spirit is always with us, and we can be reminded of God everyday, wherever we are. Maybe looking at the stars, a garden, the ocean, or the mountains reminds you of God. Praying, and reading the Bible can also be another helpful way to hear from God.)

8. What are you going to do this week to be reminded of God’s presence?

9. Did the disciples expect Jesus to rise from the dead? (No. Even when Jesus told them that is what would happen, we see that they still don’t understand what this means.)

Prayer Heavenly Father, thank you for showing us who Jesus really is - your Son, our God, full of glory! We thank you that you came down to earth and invite every person to be with you forever. Thank you for making this possible through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Please help us this week to be reminded of your presence everyday. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
