ASCENSION We will go to heaven Mark 16:19-20 Arrow pointing up one day Luke 24:50-53 Acts 1:3-14 These are teaching lessons you can use for children or adults. For each of these sessions I have included an article teaching about the time in the person’s life. Read this so you know the material and can teach it to others. Following is a page of questions to ask those you are teaching. This helps those who are learning to understand and apply what you have taught. It also keeps their interest and helps them remember the information in the future. You can read the questions or make a copy to give to each person. There is also a copy of the questions with the answers giving to help you as you teach. You can add to these answers or change them in any way you want. I have pictures you can print to use or show on an electric device. This helps people to picture what is happening and remember it. It makes the story come alive. You can show the picture to those you are teaching and give them paper and pencil to draw it while you teach. Or you can make a black and white copy of the picture for them to color. To get these pictures email me at [email protected] and tell me which set you would like and I will email them to you as an attachment.

JOHN IS BORN Trust in God Zacharias Luke 1:5-25 “His Name is John” Elizabeth Luke 1:57-80 tablet By Zacharias "See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the LORD Almighty. "See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse." (Malachi 3:1; 4:5-6) With these words the Old Testament closed. For 400 years there was nothing but silence. Many thought God had forgotten His promises to Israel, but not everyone. My parents still believed. They named me “God remembers.” My wife, Elizabeth, was named “God’s promise.” Her parents believed, too. They passed their faith on to us. We needed all the faith we could get, for it wasn’t easy to trust God when we were childless. To everyone that was proof of God’s displeasure with us. How was I to minister to them as a priest and rabbi if I had God’s stamp of rejection? Oh, sure, we prayed and prayed for years but nothing changed. At least it seemed that way for many years. Then the most incredible thing happened (Luke 1:5-10). THE GROUP OF PRIESTS which I was part of served in Jerusalem during the 8th month of the year. The rest of the year we served in our local communities. The high point of the day was when one priest was chosen to go into the Holy Place to trim the wicks on the lampstand and sprinkle incense on the golden altar. One of us was chosen by lot to go in at dawn and another in midafternoon, which was the more special of the two. Being chosen was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Many priests never ever got the chance. I had never been privileged to do it in all my years of service. Then one day the lot fell to me! I was ecstatic with pleasure. I was sobered, too, as I remembered that if it weren’t for God’s grace and mercy, I could be struck dead for approaching His presence. All went well at first, but then as I was offering up the prayers of the nation at the altar of incense all of a sudden there was this great, marvelous being standing there talking to me! I was terrified, thinking this meant my death. It turns out it was Gabriel (Luke 1:11-17). “Your prayer has been heard” I was told. At first I didn’t realize what he was talking about. Then it hit me: the baby! I had stopped praying for that 20 years ago when Elizabeth went through menopause. I don’t think she stopped praying for a child until just a few years ago, though. Now I was hearing that we were to have a child, a son none the less. Here I thought God’s answer to my many prayers was “No” but it turns out it was really just “Wait.” What’s more, this son was to be the one who went before the Messiah, telling everyone to get ready for His coming. Yet, despite all this good news, there was a lot of unresolved bitterness and self-pity inside because of how long God had delayed in answering our prayers. NOW God is going to do this marvelous thing, when we are old. Why not earlier? If He couldn’t give us a son when we were younger, how could He do it now that our bodies were too old to have children? Because of my doubt I was told I would be dumb until this son was born (so I better believe it really would happen) (Luke 1:18-20). BY THE TIME this exchange was over and I went back outside, people were wondering what was happening (Luke 1:21-22). I couldn’t even speak the blessing to dismiss them. I just had to wave them away. When my time of service in Jerusalem was over I went back home (Luke 1:23). I was full of emotion when I went back home: emotion and excitement, but also guilt and remorse. Elizabeth only felt joy (Lk 1:24-25).
