The Baptism and Temptation of Jesus
The Baptism and temptation of Jesus serve as the lesson focus for Sunday School this week. Jesus is baptized into and takes on
our sin, and faces our temptations so we, in Baptism, would receive His goodness, His holiness, and His purity. Parents could ask,
“Why is it important that Jesus was baptized? Why is it important that we are baptized?”

Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael
Today in Sunday School we study the calling of Jesus’ first disciples with “Jesus Calls Philip and Nathanael.” In Jesus, access
to heaven is given to all who believe. You might discuss, “How did Philip and Nathanael know that Jesus was the Christ? How do we
learn that Jesus is the Christ?”

Jesus Calls Matthew
In Sunday School today students learned the story “Jesus Calls Matthew.” We sinners rejoice, for we, too, have been called from
our own pigsty of sin to dine with Jesus around His table, and to be a friend of the friend of sinners. Consider discussing, “How
did Jesus call Matthew to be one of His followers? How and why does Jesus call us to follow Him?”

Jesus and the Little Children
The Sunday School lesson for this week focuses on the story of “Jesus and the Little Children.” In our sin, we are like small
children: helpless, dependent, and needy. So Jesus came to bestow His love and eternal gifts upon us. Parents could discuss,
“How did Jesus show His compassion on these little children? How does Jesus shower His compassion on us?”

Jesus Heals a Man Who Is Paralyzed
Exodus 11–12
“Jesus Heals a Man Who Is Paralyzed” is the lesson for Sunday School today. The miracle of healing the paralytic confirms that
Jesus, the Son of Man, has authority on earth to forgive sins and it confirms what the Son of Man chiefly came to do: deliver us
and all believers from sin, death, and the power of the devil. Consider discussing, “In addition to healing the paralyzed man,
what else does Jesus tell him? How has Jesus healed us from our sickness of sin?”

Jesus Heals Jairus’s Daughter
The story “Jesus Heals Jairus’s Daughter” serves as the focus of Sunday School today. Just as Jesus by Word and touch raised the
dead girl to life, so by His Word and Sacraments, He kills and buries death and raises us to eternal life. Questions for discussion
include, “How did Jesus heal this little girl? How does Jesus heal us from the sickness of sin?”

The Transfiguration
On this Transfiguration Sunday, the Sunday School students have studied the story of “The Transfiguration.” In the Transfiguration,
we see Jesus as the pure and holy Son of God, whose perfect righteousness is given to us through God’s Word and Sacraments.
Parents could ask, “What did Jesus reveal to His disciples about Himself in the Transfiguration? What does God’s Word reveal to
us about Jesus?”

Jesus Calms a Storm
As we begin the season of Lent, the Sunday School students study the account “Jesus Calms a Storm.” Just as Jesus calmed the storm
with His Word for the frightened disciples, so He calms and ends the storm of sin and death by taking our sin upon Himself and
dying in our place so we may live eternally. Consider discussing, “What did Jesus do to calm the storm? How does Jesus calm the
storms in our life?”
