One way Jesus liked to tell about God is through stories called parables. We get to hear about one today in our story about The Farmer and where he plants his seeds. Jesus uses this parable to teach us not only about planting your seeds in the right soil, but also having your heart in the right place. That's the thing about parables, there is always a connection at the end of the story to the real message Jesus is trying to teach us.  This story, The Farmer, comes from the book I Wonder and can be found on page 156.

What Jesus Said miniBFFs, have you ever heard about the Sermon on the Mount? I know, it’s kind of a funny name right? But the Sermon on the Mount is a very important message that Jesus gave to a crowd of people about being a follower of God. Today’s story is an example of one of the many reasons why I am so thankful to have the Bible because it tells us about all the very important things that Jesus taught while He was on earth.  This story, What Jesus Said, comes from the book I Wonder and can be found on page 126.

There is nothing I love more than reading about Jesus healing those who need healing! Right, miniBFFS??  In our story today, Jesus shows us that He loves everyone by taking care of the people who were not welcomed by others.

miniBFFs, we really love the story for this episode because we get to witness Jesus perform not one, but two, miracles.
