Week 7 of Year 1 "Many are Healed"

Menu

For adult study: "Many are Healed"

The story summary and questions were written in a way that makes it possible to use a New Testament reference in place of the Urantia reference. A selected chapter from a 1932 book, titled Treasure-House of the Living Religions, supports a spiritual theme that is found within the story. Children will use a one page handout that includes a coloring picture. 

Paper 145:2-5
The Urantia Book

At sundown they brought to him all who were sick

Students may read Paper 145:3.5-11 or all of sections 2-5

News traveled quickly in the city of Capernaum. First, people heard that Jesus had healed a man with an unclean spirit in the synagogue. Later that day, word spread that Peter’s mother-in-law had been healed. Then, a large crowd of sick and afflicted people came to Peter’s house at sundown. They sought healing, and Jesus did indeed heal them. Afterward, the disciples searched for Jesus, but he had gone out alone to pray. He said they must go and spread the gospel message.

Discussion Questions

Why was Jesus able to heal the crowd of people who came to him at sundown? When we pray for healing, we need to trust God’s wisdom as well as his goodness. What do you think Jesus prayed for when he went out alone?

Re: Power and Wisdom

136:6.5 His superhuman power he might possibly use for others, but for himself, never. ...

136:8.2 ... He refused to become a mere wonder-worker. He resolved to become occupied with but a single task—the establishment of the kingdom of heaven.

He hath made the earth by His power. 

He hath established the world by His wisdom.  (Judaism)


O the depth of the riches 

both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
