The Prophet Foretells of the Glory of the Kingdom of God

Say: Not only do the prophets remind the people that a Savior is coming, they also tell the people what this new life with the Savior will be like.

The Bible Reading

Read Isaiah 35:1-6  

Ask: What are some of the glorious and miraculous things that are mentioned here?

The Song

We are going to listen to the song “Mary, Did You Know?”. The song asks Mary a number of questions about her baby boy Jesus. Did she know that He would do this and that, etc. She probably did know, because she knew what the prophets like Isaiah and others had to say about the coming Savior.

The Activity

Here is a list of some of the things that Mary is asked about in the song (you might want to write them down on a piece of paper). Look for them in the video. When did these things happen in the life of Jesus? Some Bible verses are in parentheses if you want to use them.

Walked on water             (Matthew 14:22-33—with Peter)

Delivered Mary—and all sinners             (when He died on the cross)

Gave sight to the blind                   (Mark 10:46-52—Bartimaeus; John 9:1-12)

Calmed a storm                   (Mark 4:35-41)

Made the dead live again                 (John 11—Lazarus; Mark 5:35-43—the little girl)

Healed a lame man              (John 5:1-9; Mark 2:1-12—paralytic with the 4 friends)
