Writing a topic in a notebook.

Guys, why do you think Christ was born on earth?

(save all people from the captivity of sin and open the way to paradise for dead souls)

So in the midst of vanity, pride, tears, into the world of lawlessness, evil and crime

Christ was revealed to mankind as the future sacrifice of redemption. N Volokhov

What does God send to people? ( grace)

Work with notebooks (We write down the key word - grace)

And what does it tell us…………

In the grace of God's help,

To deal with the enemy

Laziness, anger, fear, lies

And any other sin. E.G. Sanin

Why do you guys think God cares so much about people?

(He is the creator of people

We are creatures of the Creator, God our Father.

Everything that you see around you is the work of His good hands:

it is heaven and earth, sun, stars and seas,

the forest you go to, herbs, berries, flowers.

E.Ekimova

Explanation of new material

Teacher's story (presentation).

(1slide "Life of Jesus Christ")

The birth of the life of Jesus Christ (the Son of God) began with the good news of the Archangel Gabriel.

(2 slide "Annunciation" painting by J. Tissot 1894)

Who is an angel, will tell us ....

An angel is a messenger of heaven, an invisible friend,

Keeps the creation of the Father

From the cradle to the grave

And there is no end to love.

K. Romanov

An angel was sent to the Virgin Mary to announce that she would give birth to a son, but not a simple one, but a Savior to all people. The Holy Family from Nazareth arrived in Bethlehem to their homeland. Mary is about to give birth.

(3slide "Arrival of the Holy Family in Bethlehem" painting by L.O. Merson)

The houses in the city were crowded with people who had come from all directions, and lodging for the night had not yet been found. Joseph (he was betrothed to Mary) worries and cries out: Oh, my poor gray hairs! My poor Mary!

Evening falls on the plains, but the family is restless ...

The shadows have thickened, the air is getting cold! But what am I, a weak person?

No, God will not forget about the Son, and we will show our lodging for the night!

And here is the shepherd's cave, let the den give us shelter!

Faith did not deceive me, and here we will break our bread.

N.Volokhova

In this cave the Savior of the world was born

(4 slide photo "Silver star of bethlehem in the grotto on the spot where the Christ Child was born")

This is the place where Christmas took place. There are many candles and 15 silver lamps (“lamps”).

The night is quiet. On firm ground unsteady

The southern stars are trembling.

Mother's eyes with a smile

Quiet looking into the manger.

On what date do Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas? (On January seventh)

How do you celebrate Christmas? ( we go from house to house and praise Christ with poems and songs, and they give us money and treat us with sweets)

He will read a poem about the Nativity of Christ to us ......

What does the snow blizzard sing to you about?

About distant and warm lands,

About the birth of the Child - God,

About Magi and Shepherds.

About the beautiful Virgin Mary

About a bright, bright star

About angels praising God,

Who gave salvation to the earth. O. Pershina

Evil King Herod, having learned that the long-awaited Baby was born out of fear of losing his power, seeing Him as a rival, decided to destroy Him. But God took care of his son. HE sent an angel, who said to Joseph in a dream: “Get up, take the Child and His Mother and run to Egypt and stay there until I tell you.”

(5 slide engraving from the original by A. Elsheimer “Flight to Egypt”)

Herod killed forty thousand babies in Bethlehem, hoping that the Savior would be among them.

The road to Egypt for the Holy Family,

Get up, it's time to save!

Of those who will stay at home today,

Not everyone will make it to the morning.

N.Volokhova

The baby was growing. He worked hard with his parents. Joseph taught Him carpentry. Being constantly in labors, He was strengthened in spirit.

Who will tell me what is the name of the age of a person following childhood? ( adolescence)

Once the Holy Family went to Jerusalem on Easter (Old Testament), and Jesus, being an extraordinary youth, stayed behind to teach people the Word of God. His parents lost Him and returned half way back looking for Him.

(6slide painting by W.H. Hunt “Young Jesus in the Temple”, 1860)

When they found Him, they complained about His behavior. He answered his parents, "This is my Father's house." But he obediently obeyed and followed his parents. Mary cherished all His words and kept them in her heart.

In the Holy Land, divine regularity is often observed, where the events of the Old and New Testament merge in the same place. It was in the very place where the Jewish people, approaching the city of Jericho, walked along the bottom of the river, and the waters parted, in the New Testament, the Baptism of Jesus Christ by his relative John the Baptist took place.

(7slide photo of the Jordan River)

After being baptized, Jesus goes into the wilderness. There He did not eat anything for forty days and was tempted by the devil, who in every possible way persuaded Christ to abandon the main goal of the Savior.

(8 slide painting by I.N. Kramskoy “Christ in the Desert”, 1872)

The devil distracted Him: "Turn stones into bread, because so many people are starving." Christ answered: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." The unclean one said: "Bow down to me and I will give you the whole world." The Savior objected: "Worship the Lord God and serve Him alone." Satan did not calm down: "Throw yourself down, because it is said in the hands they will take you and nothing will happen to you." Jesus replied, "Do not tempt the Lord your God." On the slide you see the stone on which Christ sat in the desert.

From the age of 30, the ministry of Jesus to people begins

.(9 slide painting by A.A. Ivanov “The Appearance of Christ to the People”)

John the Baptist, seeing Christ, said to the people: "Here is the Savior who will take the sin of the world upon himself."

Could you please tell us what kind of activity the disciples of Jesus Christ were engaged in? ( they were fishing)

(10 slide fresco Italy Giusto de Menabuoi "The Calling of Andrew and Peter" photo - an exact copy of a fishing boat from the time of Jesus Christ)

The Savior chose his disciples near the city of Capernaum. At first they made mistakes. For example, children were not allowed to see Jesus.

But He ordered them to bring the children with a movement of the hand

And, indignantly, he said to them that in the Kingdom of God in the whole world

Only those who were like children will enter! Passions, not knowing behind yourself,

Pure with a meek heart and soul.

Christ begins his sermon. He walks through cities and villages, preaching the gospel, expounding his teaching in parables. The main commandment of His teaching is to love God with all your heart and the Kingdom of God will open within you.

Consolidation of the studied material

Perception check.

What is the gospel? ( these are the four sacred books, the authors of which were: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John)

Who is the Messiah? ( Anointed One, Jesus Christ or Savior)

Christ performed the first miracle in Canna of Galilee. He turned water into an unusually tasty drink for the wedding at the request of his Mother.

.(11slide icon of Duccio di Buoninsegna "Marriage in Cannes" 1311)

Another miracle is the resurrection of the daughter of Jairus. The people present at the same time laughed, not believing in a miracle. Christ removed everyone, leaving parents and disciples nearby.

(12slide painting by I.E. Repin “The Resurrection of the Daughter of Jairus”)

Another miracle that stunned the whole people is the expulsion of an unclean spirit from the possessed. The demons asked Christ to let them enter the pigs. Jesus agreed. And the whole herd rushed down the steep slope into the water and drowned.

(13slide painting by J. Tissot “Exorcism from the Possessed”)

Look at the next slide. .(14slide color lithograph by D. Roberts "Mount Tabor" 1839)

This is Mount Tabor, where the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ took place. Now there are two temples there: in the name of the "Transfiguration of the Lord" and the church in the name of the holy prophets Moses and Elijah, who were present at this event. Temples are decorated with wonderful vegetation.

(15slide fresco by Giotto "The Resurrection of Lazarus" 1308)

On this slide we see the icon of the Resurrection of Lazarus. Lazarus lay in the tomb for four days and the Lord resurrected him. This is the only person who knew the horror of the descent into hell (there was no other place for the dead souls then) and returned to the world. Here we see the entrance to the tomb of Lazarus. Nowadays the entrance is walled up.

The crucifixion of Christ begins with the entrance to Jerusalem. The people greeted the Savior, and the Pharisees were preparing a murder

(16slide icon "Entrance of the Lord into Jerusalem").

Who are the Pharisees? Let us know about it....

Who are the Pharisees?

Those who tear their noses in front of everyone

Their deeds seem to be true,

But before God they are filthy.

So they want to be praised

And they were just talking about

And everywhere they were noticed

And honored with respect.

E.A.Ekimova

The last conversation with the disciples before the Crucifixion is called the Last Supper.

(17slide painting by N.N. Ge “The Last Supper”, 1883)

Here Christ bequeaths to always partake of his blood and body in order to inherit eternal life. The Savior, while communing the disciples, knew that one would betray Him. Judas was a thief and an unclean spirit entered into him, which forced him to immediately betray Christ to the Pharisees.

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus asked the Heavenly Father, "Let this cup pass from me."

How do you guys understand this expression, which has become winged? ( asked to save Him from the terrible execution on the cross)

Although Christ was ready for this execution. He said: "However, not as I want, but as You do, Your will be done."

(18 slide painting by N.N. Ge “In the Garden of Gethsemane”.)

They arrested Christ, beat him, spat in his face, put on his head a crown of thorns, which scratched his head in blood, but He endured under the blows of the executioners. He himself had to carry a heavy cross to the place of execution. -

How do you understand the catchphrase "carry your cross"? ( worthy to endure all the hardships of earthly life, without violating the commandments of God)

The place of the Crucifixion of Christ is called Golgotha. Remember - this is one of the key words of our lesson.

(19slide painting by Tintoretto "The Way to Calvary")

Magdalene fought and sobbed,

The beloved student turned to stone,

And to where Mother silently stood

So no one dared to look.

A. Akhmatova 1940

How do you guys understand the catch phrase "Road to Calvary"? ( Endure some difficulties and temptations in life, comparing them with Christ's Golgotha)

Only God could say such words: “Father! Forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing!”

(20 slide painting by Ducciodi Buoninsegna “Crucifixion” 1311_

Here we observe another miracle: it was in the place of the Crucifixion that the grave of Adam, the first man, turned out to be. The sins of Adam were literally washed away and sanctified by the blood of the Savior.

The choir of angels glorified the great hour,

And the heavens went up in flames.

He said to his father: “Why did you leave me?”

And Mother: “Oh, don’t weep for Me…”

A. Akhmatova 1940

The body of Christ was laid in a new, nearby cave (tomb). The entrance to it was covered with a heavy stone. And guards were put up so that they would not steal the body and announce: “Christ is risen!”

(21 slide painting by A.Chizeri "The Entombment")

(22slide photo on the floor of the aisle indicates the place where the wonderful tree of the Cross grew)

On the next slide we see the place of growth of the wonderful tree from which the cross of Christ was made. The tree had three different branches: pine, cedar and cypress. In appearance, it was clumsy, so the priest Caiaphas decided that Jesus would suffer more on it, and the execution would be more humiliating.

On the third day after the crucifixion, Christ was resurrected. The guards fled in panic. After the resurrection, He appeared to His disciples and to those who believed in Him for forty days.

Look at the slide 23slide painting by A.A. Ivanov “The Appearance of Christ to Mary Magdalene after the Resurrection”)

Here we see Mary Magdalene. Later, she became a saint, to whom thousands of Orthodox Christians offer prayers in our time.

(24 slide painting by Caravaggio "Unbelief of Thomas" 1600)

One day Christ appeared to his disciples, but the Apostle Thomas was not among them. Thomas saw Christ later and said, "Until I touch His wound, I will not believe that He has risen." To which Christ replied: “Blessed are those who have not seen, but have believed.”

(25 slide icon "Resurrection. Descent into Hell", Yaroslavl, 1680).

On the next slide we see the “Descent into Hell” icon, where the Savior takes the souls of the righteous from hell and elevates them to heavenly abodes.

Since then, every seventh day of the week reminds us of this great, significant day.

Sunday is a great day on this day Christ is risen,

And the gospel invites you to the morning service.

So you devote the whole Sunday day only to God,

Go to the temple, visit your friends, shine like the sun on everyone.

E.A.Ekimova

Forty days after the Resurrection, Jesus blessed the disciples to carry people to different countries preaching a new faith.

Independent reading of the passage in the textbook pp. 42-43

Children read that when Christ blessed the disciples, He began to move away from them and ascend to Heaven. This ended the earthly mission of Christ. And the Ascension is celebrated by the Orthodox as one of the main holidays

How do you understand the words of Christ, “There is no greater love than if a man lays down his life for his friends”? ( Christ gave his life for the salvation of all mankind. And each of us can sacrifice himself, but save a friend. This is the fulfillment of one of the commandments "Love your neighbor as yourself".)

Born on earth, living human life and having given it for the salvation of mankind, Christ remained with us forever! He is the Living God and everyone can come to Him in their heart.

God gave us a soul - this is our small temple.

Take a quick look there: is it clean there today?

Let's put everything in order in the temple of our soul,

Only with pure soul we will enter the heavenly temple.

And about what the Kingdom of Heaven is, a poem will be read to us ....:

In the Kingdom of Heaven, everyone lives in joy,

There is eternal bliss and the angels sing.

A wonderful abode, where the world of love, peace,

And every inhabitant of the Lord is a saint.

Who loves God very much, goes to the aid of everyone

He will not destroy the soul, he will enter Heavenly Paradise.

Reflection.

To check how you have learned the material, I suggest you guess the quiz

At the end of the lesson listen to the story - the true story "The Tale of a Miracle."

From the Nativity of Christ in 1463, under the pious Prince Simeon of Kiev and under the blessed Archimandrite Nicholas, a miracle happened in the Lavra. In those days, one of the brethren, Hieromonk Dionysius, was in charge of the economy in the caves. On the Great Day - Light Christ's Resurrection- he entered the cave of St. Anthony to pray before the holy relics. After praying, Dionysius turned to the resting saints of God: - Holy Fathers and Brothers! Today is the Great Day! Christ is Risen! And immediately, like thunder, a voice was heard in response, sounding from all the relics: - Truly Risen!

How can such a miracle be explained? ( God has all the living, God has no dead)

Write down your homework:

I really enjoyed your work in class. You were focused, active, answered questions in unison, were extremely attentive. I thank you for your work in class.

Note:

Lessons have been developed and tested in senior group Sunday school of the church "Transfiguration" in Kirov. These lessons were held as a continuation of the inductive Bible study for children in the cycle of lessons "The Lord Has Salvation!" (see the manual on the website www.ehbkirov.ru)

The cycle of lessons on the Gospel of Mark is designed for one semester in Sunday school. The purpose of the lessons is not only to bring certain biblical truths to the children, but to make them a participant in the process of studying the Scriptures, to encourage them to personally read and apply the Bible.

There are applications: printed text of the Gospel for each lesson for distribution to children (those who do not have their own Bible), lessons with marks for the teacher, large printed Golden verses (letters can be painted), tasks to do at home, diagrams-illustrations.

Bible text: Mark. 5:22-24, 35-43

The main idea:

1) Show the children that Jesus has power over human life and death;

2) On the example of this story, once again emphasize that Jesus is the all-powerful God and we must submit our lives to Him.

Key Verse: "Don't be afraid, only believe." Mark 5:36

1. Text review

Last time we talked about that. Today we will learn something more about Jesus, at the end of the lesson try to name what else you have learned about Him.

Read carefully and circle any words that help us understand what the leader of the synagogue was going through. (He fell on his knees before Jesus, he begged intensely, he was afraid - all this conveys the great despair in which Jairus was)

Underline any words that show what experiences the people of Jairus' house had. (they were confused - confused, they cried and screamed loudly, they were confused, that is, they lost hope - so we see that those close to Jairus also experienced deep despair). Underline in some color the word that shows the reaction of Jairus's relatives to Jesus' statement that the girl was just sleeping. (they laughed).

Place a U (disciples) in the margin wherever Jesus' disciples are mentioned. Highlight in a different color the words that describe the students' reaction to healing (amazement).

How exactly did Jesus heal the girl? (told her "get up")

What unfamiliar words are encountered?

2. Ask questions.

Let's make two columns on the board. In one we will write what the relatives of Jairus experienced, in the other - what Jairus himself experienced. We can already see that both of them experienced intense sadness and despair.

But what is the difference between Jairus in his despair and his relatives? (let the children find the answer themselves) Which word in the text helps us answer this question correctly?

We singled out “laughed” - the relatives of Jairus laughed at the fact that Jesus was able to resurrect the girl. But Jairus behaved in a completely different way - he not only worries and gets upset, he runs to Jesus, asking Him for help. Then, after Jairus hears that his daughter has died, he nevertheless goes with Jesus to his house and enters the room where the dead girl lies. Jairus hopes to the end! He does not give up, but he understands that in complete despair he has only one hope - Jesus.
Is the head of the synagogue afraid? Yes. But what does Jairus believe? He believes the words of Christ: "Do not be afraid, only believe."

You have marked the verses that speak of disciples. We do not know if the disciples were worried about Jairus; in principle, they do not take part in the resurrection of the girl at all.

Why do you think Jesus insists on taking them with him and even inviting them into the room where the resurrection took place? (invite the children to think, remember past lessons, for which Jesus chose the disciples in general)

Look at the reaction of the students - this is our key to understanding. The students were very, very surprised. They were amazed that Jesus could resurrect a person. Notice how Jesus resurrected? With just one word.

Jesus took the disciples with him so that they could see with their own eyes His power and authority over death. Before that, they saw how the storm, the forces of nature, obeyed the word of Jesus. Now they see that even death is subject to the word of Jesus. Remember, Jesus calls His disciples to Himself so that they “be with Him”, that is, they see the whole character of Christ, everything that He does. This is necessary so that they themselves believe, and then testify about what they saw to the whole world.

3. We get the pearl

There is an important lesson in this story for us: no matter what happens in our lives, our despair and sorrow should never lead us away from HOPE in Christ. Jairus continued to hope in Jesus, he believed that Jesus was with him and that the situation was under control, despite the fact that from the point of view of his loved ones, it was incredible, even ridiculous. Remember: we should never lose hope in the Lord, in the most difficult circumstances, believe that God has power and strength over the whole world, which means that He can act in our lives. In the story of Jairus, Jesus showed his power over death and healed the girl.

But you should know that not always the problem we face is solved exactly the way we would like it to be. Does God "should" heal or raise the dead through our prayers? Not at all - the Lord is free to give healing or not to give it. For example, did Jesus raise all the dead while He was on earth? No. Later, when 12 apostles were sent to preach the Gospel, 11 of them died a martyr's death - the Lord did not deliver them from torment and pain. In the story of Jairus, Jesus heals in order to show people His power, so that they would believe in Him, and in order to fulfill the prophecies Old Testament, which says that the Messiah will raise the dead. From such stories in the Gospel, we must understand that Jesus has the power to resurrect, and also that none of the despairing should lose hope in Christ.

Guys, last time and today in the lesson we saw how the Gospel shows us that Christ has absolute power over the forces of nature and even over death. Do you think God, in whose hand is life and death, is worthy that we submit our lives to Him, obey Him? Do our lives belong to us, can we do and create what we want and at the same time think that we ourselves control our lives? I think not. Remember the prophet Jonah, did his life belong to him? No, it was in God's hands to place him on the brink of death, and then deliver him from death. Guys, I hope you have surrendered your life to the Lord.

One day two boys were talking:

Igor says: “I believe that a person is the master of his life. You have to rely only on yourself.” Andrei answers him: “Does your life belong to you?” Igor says: “Of course. And who else? Several days have passed. The guys were supposed to go fishing on Saturday morning, but Andrei waited in vain for Igor - he did not come. When the boys phoned, Igor said that he had a sore throat and now he would be at home for a whole week. Then Andrei says to him: “So you make your throat not hurt.” Igor is indignant: “Well, how can I force him, he won’t listen to me.” Here Andrey said disappointedly: “If your throat does not obey you, how can you command your whole life?”

Let us remember that Christ owns and obeys everything in this world. Unfortunately, everything except the person. Let your soul be submissive to the Lord, obey His word.

Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem

Palm Sunday

A week before the Passover, Jesus Christ went to Jerusalem.

Since He was very tired, the apostles brought a young and quiet colt, laid their clothes on it and helped the Teacher to sit on it, while they themselves walked around. As He rode, thousands of people gathered to look at the Lord and pray to Him.

Everyone already knew about His miracles; knew how He healed the sick.

talk about the events of that time

1. Everyone welcomed the Lord with delight. Only evil Jewish teachers, hierarchs and chiefs looked angrily at this triumph. They envied Jesus Christ that everyone loves and glorifies Him so much, and cruelly hated Him.

1. Christ took the bread, broke it into pieces and, giving it to the disciples, said:

Accept, eat My Body, which is given over to torment for the sins of all people,

For their salvation.

Drink all of it, this is my Blood that is shed for your salvation.

slide 4

Prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane

1. -Jesus Christ prayed long and fervently. Already His disciples had long fallen asleep, already in the east a strip of dawn appeared, and Christ, tired, still continued his holy prayer. The time of his suffering was approaching, and now He prayed and asked God, His Father, for help to endure all the torments that were coming to Him.

Slide 5

Tradition of Jesus

Good Friday

2. - What will you give me if I indicate the case when Christ will be alone and His
   can be grabbed?
3. They offered him thirty pieces of silver. Judas took the money and agreed to betray the Lord. A few days later, when Christ was praying in the garden, Judas informed the Jewish leaders about this and said to them:
4. “Follow me and take the One whom I will kiss.

— Crucify Him! Crucify Him!

And so the Son of God, Jesus Christ, was sentenced to be crucified and given over to rude soldiers.

Resurrection of the Lord

1. In tears, Mary Magdalene did not see who was standing in front of her, and, thinking that it was the gardener, she answered: “Lord, if you have taken Him, tell me where you have put Him, and I will take Him. In response, she hears a familiar voice:

— Maria! Magdalene looked and saw: in front of her was the Risen Christ Himself.

- Teacher! she exclaimed in delight and rushed to Him. But the Lord said to her:

– Do not touch Me, go to My brothers, disciples, and tell them that I ascend to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.

Tell me what kind of friend Jesus is to you. Tell me one miracle Jesus did for you. If you want, instead of socializing time, play any fun game with your children.

2. Bible story: “Simeon and Anna bless the baby Jesus” (Luke 2:21-40)

INTRODUCTION (QUESTION): Tell me, did your parents tell you anything about how you were born? Do you know what city you were born in? (Ask a question to several children, listen to the answers.) What was this season? Maybe you even know what time of day you were born: morning, afternoon, evening or night? Perhaps the parents showed you the passport of the newborn, in which all this information is recorded. CONNECTING SENTENCE: Jesus Christ was born on earth, as all children are born. Of course, His parents were not given any passport about their newborn Son, but the details of His birth are recorded in the Bible. COURSE OF EVENTS:

1. Jesus was born in Bethlehem.

Tell me what you know about the birth of Jesus. (Listen to the children's answers and use them to tell the story further.) Jesus was born in Bethlehem. This city is also called the City of David, because King David was also born in Bethlehem. Where in Bethlehem was Jesus born? Not in a maternity hospital, not in a hospital, but in a small barn. Then it was winter. Night... Nights are usually colder, aren't they? The shed, of course, has a roof, a door, but it's still not a house. There was no warm stove or fireplace in the barn. There were no beautiful carpets on the floor. There was no bed or sofa, you could lie down only on the ground, on a bed of hay. Of course, they clean it sometimes, but usually there is a persistent and not very pleasant smell. Still, for the parents of Jesus, this place was not so bad. It was better in the barn than outside. There was a roof overhead to keep the weather out. It was also possible to sleep well on the hay. The breath of the animals warmed the air. And the cattle feeder could be adapted as a cradle for the newborn Jesus.

2. The baby is given the name "God saves" (verse 21).

Most likely, Joseph and Mary had some acquaintances in Bethlehem. Perhaps they went to live with them. Mary needed some rest after giving birth, but Jesus was still very young so that His parents could go home right away. When the newborn Baby was 8 days old, He was given the name Jesus. Do you know why they named him that? So the angel who appeared to Mary before the birth of Jesus said to name the child. Translated into our language, this name means "God saves." Joseph and Mary believed that Jesus would be the Savior of all people. I want you to know too: Jesus is the Savior for those people who lived before and for those who live now. He is the Savior even for those who are yet to be born and live on earth. Jesus Christ is the Savior of the whole world (hang GI on the board). Application 1: Maybe you're thinking, “What do we need to save all people from? Why is Jesus called the Savior? The fact is that both you and every person on earth are born with a desire to sin. Because of this, each person manages to commit many different sins. What do you think sin is? (Children answer.) Sin is all the bad things you do, think or say. Have you ever sinned? Sins prevent a person from being friends with God. Therefore, Jesus Christ was born - the Savior of the whole world. He was born to save everyone from the sins, and you, if you want.

3. The consecration of the child to the Lord (verses 22-24).

So, the Baby was named Jesus, as the Angel of God said. Remind me, please, what does this name mean? (Children answer.) According to the accepted law in Israel, a newborn baby had to be brought to the temple for blessing. There they prayed for the child and dedicated it to the service of God. And the parents of the baby had to bring two gifts to God with them, i.e. two victims (it could be two turtledoves or two young pigeons). One gift was in gratitude for a son or daughter, and the other was in gratitude for the restoration of the mother's health after childbirth. The nearest temple was in Jerusalem. It was about eight kilometers from Bethlehem. That is, Jerusalem could be reached on foot in just a few hours. And so, when Jesus was 40 days old, Joseph and Mary said goodbye to their friends and went from Bethlehem to Jerusalem to go to the temple, and then return home to Nazareth. Let's go together with them from Bethlehem to Jerusalem. To do this, you will need to get up, walk around the room, and when I clap your hands, you need to quickly sit down, but definitely not in your place. (Play with the children.) Now imagine that you and I are in Jerusalem.

4. Simeon blesses the Child Savior (verses 25-32).

At that time, there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon. He loved God very much. He knew that God promised people to give a Savior. And many were waiting for this promise to come true. Simeon was also waiting. He was already very old, and the Savior was still not there. Sometimes Simeon thought that he would soon grow old and die without waiting for the Savior. Then God revealed to him that he would not die until he saw the Savior with his own eyes. Old Simeon expected this every day. One day God spoke to Simeon again and told him to go to the temple. Simeon immediately understood that the day he had been waiting for so long had finally come! Now his dream will come true! “Oh, did I wait? Oh, will I see the promised Savior today?” With such thoughts, Simeon hurried to the temple. There he saw Joseph and Mary with the child enter the temple. He felt that this child was the Savior promised by God. Simeon took little Jesus in his arms and began to praise God loudly: “Thank you, Lord! Now my heart rejoices: I have waited! Now I can die in peace, because my eyes have seen the Savior You gave to all nations. And Jewish people, and all others. For He is the Savior of all." Simeon rejoiced and praised God because he realized that Jesus is the Savior of the whole world. And you know it. You can praise God for this. Jesus is the Savior for both Ukraine and Russia. For people with white skin and for people with dark skin. For young and old. For all countries and tribes throughout the earth. Jesus Christ is the Savior for every person. Application 2: Jesus Christ was born to fulfill God's plan of salvation for everyone, including you. The birth of Jesus on earth was part of this plan. What happened after Jesus became an adult? (Children's answers.) He walked among people and talked about God, about how you can be saved from sins and make friends with the Living God. Then Jesus died on the cross for the sins of all people on earth, then resurrected. Jesus is the only one who can take away a person's sins if the person wants to. What do you think a person needs to do to get Jesus to take away their sins? (Children's answers.) Yes, admit that you are a sinner, believe in Jesus, ask Him for forgiveness for your sins. And what happens then? (Children's answers.) Yes, a person becomes a child of God. God forgives man's sins. In other words, the person is saved. You can pray for your loved ones who do not yet know anything about this God's plan, so that Jesus Christ becomes their personal Savior.

5. The words of Simeon to Mary (verses 33-35).

You know, even Jesus' parents had to make that choice to believe in Jesus as their Savior. Simeon understood this. He saw how Joseph and Mary were surprised at his words. So after he blessed them, he said to Mary: “You will have to suffer a lot for your Son when He becomes an adult, because not everyone will believe in Him. Many will not like what He will say and do. His words and deeds, His whole life will irritate many people, make them angry, confuse them. But He is the Savior for all peoples and for every person. And everyone has to make a choice whether to believe it or not. And no one will escape this choice, not even you, Maria. A Call to Repentance: Therefore, every person on earth needs to make this choice: to believe in Jesus as their personal Savior or not. The Bible says that all people who do not believe in Jesus will not be able to get rid of their sins on their own. Because of their sins, they will be separated from God forever. If a person believes that only Jesus can save from sins, he becomes a child of God, and his friendship with Jesus will be forever. Maybe you're thinking, "Well, this is like a fairy tale or a fantasy movie." Or maybe you're thinking, “There are so many people on earth, millions. Can Jesus really be the Savior of every person?” Perhaps you think this way because you are not friends with Jesus. Think what will you choose? If you want Jesus to be your personal Savior, then come by after class and we'll talk to you about it. People in the temple heard Simeon's prayer and came up to look at the child of Mary and Joseph. Come on and now imagine yourself as one of those people in the temple. Let's act out this part of the story: you will need to show with movements what I am talking about. Those people in the temple, probably, began to look at each other and say to each other: “Oh, what an unusual prayer! What is this special baby? Let's take a look at him!"

6. Anna blesses the Child (verses 36-38).

Old Anna came up too. (Invite a child to play Anna. Put a veil over the child's head.) She was already 84 years old. After the death of her husband, she lived at the temple. She was a prophetess. Do you know who it is? (Children's answers.) Anna served God by praying for other people. Anna also felt that this child was the Savior whom she, too, had been expecting for a long time. Do you know what she started doing when she realized that? (Ask the child playing Anna to read Luke 2:38 from your Bible.) Anna enthusiastically told everyone she met in the temple about the baby Jesus and who He is! All the people standing in the temple heard that the Infant Jesus is the Savior whom God has sent for every person on earth. (Thank the children for helping tell this part of the story.)

7. Parents return home with Jesus (verses 39, 40).

When Mary and Joseph fulfilled all that was required by the law, they returned to Nazareth with little Jesus. Soon Jesus began to speak his first words and walk. He grew up as all children grow up. He was a child just like you. Therefore, He understands children well. 3. Making a Decision Go ahead and tell someone about the Savior Jesus this week. Now in prayer, you can ask God to remind those people with whom you need to talk. Perhaps God will show you those who live nearby, and you can see them this week. Or maybe the Lord will remind you of one of those with whom you often see (for example, at school or at training). (Give time for quiet prayer, then give each child a small piece of paper.) Write here the names of three people God showed you. Let's pray that God will help you tell people about Jesus.

Bible verse memorization: Lk. 19:10

Introduction: Game "Who is He?" In this game, you will need to spell out two words (hang a visual on the board). Do you know what those words are? That's who Jesus is. For example, He is the Teacher, He is the King of kings, He is the Son of God. When you guess these words, you can add another definition to this list. I wrote these two words in dashes. See? One dash is one letter. You will name any letter. If it is in these words, I will write it above the dash. If there are several such letters, I will write them all down. (Children play. The phrase "Son of Man" opens.) You see, Jesus is not only the Son of God. He is also the Son of Man. Both of these words are capitalized. Why do you think Jesus is called the Son of Man? (Children's answers.) Yes, God became a man, He was born as a man in order to do something for all people. Linking sentence: Why did God become a man? Let's find the answer to this question in the Bible. Jesus Himself explained this. Reading: This is written in the Gospel of Luke. What is the number of Luke's books in the New Testament? (Children's answers.) Yes, the third one. In the Gospel of Luke, you need to find chapter 19 and in it - verse 10. If you have already found, help someone who is still looking. When everyone has opened their Bibles and found the verse, the teacher reads aloud himself, and the children follow him in their Bibles. The children then read with the teacher from the Bible, with the teacher naming the Scriptures before and after the reading. Then the teacher hangs up a visual aid with a written verse, or opens a verse previously written on the board and asks to read it from the board: Luke 19:10: “For the Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost.” Explanation Look, it says "came." How Jesus came to earth, you already know: He was born on earth as a common person . Why was it necessary? The answer is written further down in the verse: "to seek and save that which is lost." How do you understand the word "claim"? (Children's answers.) It means "seek and find." How do you understand the word "dead"? Who is meant here? (Children's answers.) Yes, these are the people who die. What kind of people are dying? (Children's answers.) Those who do not know about Jesus and God's plan of salvation perish. Jesus came to find such people and save them, that is, to tell them about God so that people could decide to become His children. After all, Jesus is the Savior of the whole world. Practice: The teacher can help the children memorize the Scriptures in the following way: “What do the first three letters in the word 'Luke' remind you of? Yes, there are such weapons with arrows. How can you show the bow? Come on, when we say where this verse is written in the Bible, we will show that we have a bow in our hands. This verse is easy to memorize by repeating it with movements. You can come up with the movements yourself or with the children. The main thing is that they are simple. Thinking up a movement for each phrase or word, pronounce their meaning again. For example, you can show the phrase “Son of Man” with the movement with which you usually show the words “Jesus” or “God”, because it is about Him that we are talking about. Let's repeat this verse slowly, thinking about each word (2-3 times with movements). Application 1: Do you know who Jesus does this through? Through you and other believers who talk about Jesus. Maybe sometimes you don't know how to tell someone that Jesus is the Savior. It's really simple! You don't have to memorize a long speech to talk about Jesus. You can tell in your own words about how you became friends with Jesus, about how God helps you in life, what He does for you and for other Christians. You can retell what you remember in our classes. After this activity, you can talk about the fact that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the whole world, and explain in your own words how you understand this. Practice: Look at the names of the people you wrote down on the piece of paper. Let's repeat this verse now, and each time instead of the word "lost" you will say the name of one of these people, because Jesus is the Savior for them too (repeat 3 times). Application 2: You may sometimes feel uncomfortable telling someone about Jesus. Or maybe it’s even scary: what if they don’t understand or even call names! Feel free to ask God for help to do this. Pray for those whom God has shown you and talk to them. God will help you, because Jesus wants to be the Savior for every person. Training: At the choice of the teacher, any method of training in which the children could move around. Don't forget to repeat the scriptures and movements. Comprehension Check: Now what can you tell your friend or classmate about Jesus?

Repetition game Classics game

Inventory: sheets of A4 paper, chalk or cord, soft toy. Game progress: You will need 7-10 A4 sheets. Write numbers on one side of them, and prizes or some kind of task on the other (options are offered below). Arrange them on the floor with numbers up in any order (checkerboard, in several rows, in the form of classics, or in some other way). Mark the starting line (you can draw with chalk or put a cord). Divide the children into two teams. Take turns asking the teams questions (see below). If the team answers correctly, it chooses one player who, from the starting line, will be able to throw a soft toy on any number. If the toy moves off the sheet, then the throw does not count. If the toy remains on the sheet, then the player comes up, turns the sheet over and the team does what is written there. If a team gives an incorrect answer to a question, the right to move passes to the other team.

QUESTIONS TO GAME:

Who blessed little Jesus in the temple? Why did Anna start telling everyone in the temple about Jesus? How do you understand the sentence: “Jesus Christ is the Savior of the whole world”? Tell the verse that is written in Lk. 19:10. In what city was Jesus, the Savior of the whole world, born? Why is Jesus called the Savior? What can you do for a person who knows nothing about Jesus? What will you do this week for one of your friends who is not yet friends with Jesus?

SIGNS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SHEETS:

During the classes

1. Greetings. Organizing time

I greet you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! I am very happy to see you all! Show children maximum attention and love, ask what news they have, how they feel and their mood.

Our Lord Jesus Christ! We are all very grateful to You for today, for Your love for us. May eternal glory be carried to You, both in heaven and on earth. We worship You, we glorify You. Bless us, our lesson. Amen.

What a wonderful day is coming! Do you know what day it is? Have you heard anything about him? It has a wonderful name - Easter, i.e. release. From what, you ask? Do you want to know about it?

For three years Jesus walked the earth with his disciples, performed various miracles: he healed the sick, raised the dead, opened the eyes of the blind, gave hearing to the deaf, walked on water, calmed the storm on the sea, and the Lord performed many other miracles. And now the time has come to accomplish what the Father - God sent Him to earth for.

Jesus came to earth to save each of us from sin and death. So that we can be at peace with God. After all, sin does not allow this to be done. How was Jesus supposed to do this, you ask?

Everyone loved Jesus because He was so compassionate, caring, loving. He did so much good for people: he taught them, fed them, healed them, helped them, freed them from sin and illness. But there were people who were jealous of Jesus. And you already know that envy can lead to bad consequences. That is what happened in this story. Jesus was betrayed, then the soldiers seized Him. They beat Him, laughed at Him, mocked Him, and then they executed Him, crucified Him on a cross. Many of you have already heard this. When Jesus died, fellow disciples took him down from the cross and buried him in a cave, which was covered with a large stone. All the friends and disciples of Jesus were very sad, because He died, what to do now, they did not know.

On the third day, the disciples came to the cave early in the morning, but what is it? The stone is rolled away, the cave is open?! Where did Jesus go? When they jumped out of the tomb, they saw an angel who was sitting on a stone. The angel told them: “Do not look for the living among the dead! Its not here! He is risen!" Resurrected means Jesus is alive! How happy they were!

Yes, guys, our Lord Jesus is alive, He has risen and now lives in heaven. Jesus is waiting to meet each of us! We must believe that the Lord died and rose again so that we can live. Glory to Jesus - He is risen!

«… He rose from the dead…” Mt.28:7

Learn the verse with the kids, changing intonation or dividing into teams like "Who is faster." Read the Passover verse and discuss it. Explain to the children that Easter is a celebration of life, everyone rejoices - they rejoice, they talk to each other about it, even nature rejoices. Hosanna is an old word, it means, "yes, go quickly, Lord!". This is what the people said when they met Jesus in Jerusalem.

In the next lesson, guys, you will also tell beautiful Easter poems.

Christ is risen - what a joy

Christ is risen!
What a joy!
Rejoice, mountains, islands.
"Christ is risen!" -
I say everywhere
Victorious words.

Christ is risen!
Peoples, sing!
Rejoice, animals!
Birds, forest.
Christ is risen!
Hosanna to him!
Christ is truly risen!

6. Song

Learn the song "Rejoice all the nations!"

7. Summary of the lesson

After Jesus resurrected, many people celebrate this day as a holiday of liberation - liberation from sin and death, victory over it. The Son of God rose again, became alive again, which means that He conquered death.

Jesus promised those who believe in Him that they would live with Him in heaven. He is our Lord, the Savior of all people.

Let's trust our Lord, because He died and rose again, so that we could make peace with God, and then go to heaven. Remember that He was resurrected and is now alive.

8. Prayer

Lord Jesus! Forgive us our sins, we beseech You. We also want to be with you in heaven. Help us to always believe, be obedient and kind like You. Bless us. Amen
