Jesus loves little children,
and whenever he could, he helped them.
One day, an important man begged Jesus to come to his house and heal his sick son.
But Jesus didn't go.
Instead, he said, - Go home. Your son will live.
The man believed Jesus and went home.
But before he got there, his servants met him, and said,
- Your son is well!
Jesus also helped a little girl.
Her father's name was Jairus,
and he was an important man.
- My little daughter is dying.
- Please come and pray for her so she will get well and live.
But before Jesus could go to the little girl, she died.
Still, Jesus went to see her.
With the child's mother and father, and three of his followers,
Jesus went into the girl's room, and took her hand in his.
- Little girl, stand up.
And she did. She was well.
Great crowds of people followed Jesus to see his miracles
and hear him teach about God's love for them.
One day, a huge crowd of 5,000 men and their families followed Jesus.
It was late in the day when they reached Jesus, and the people were getting hungry.
The only one with any food was a little boy with five small loaves of bread and two fish.
Jesus blessed the food.
His closest followers and helpers gave it to the people.
After everyone had plenty to eat, the helpers gathered up 12 baskets of leftover food.
Many people wanted to see Jesus.
When Jesus saw how sick and sad they were, he wanted to help them.
One day, some people brought their children to him.
His helpers tried to send them away.
But Jesus said,
- Let the children come to me.
- Don't stop them!
- You must love and accept God like a little child if you want to enter Heaven.
