If you had simply passed Him in the mar- ket, you wouldn't have thought anything of it. Even though they had seen Him do many miraculous things, the disciples still struggled to understand who Jesus was. In the transfiguration, the disciples were giv- en a glimpse of the glory that was hidden in human flesh. We often struggle with how normal our lives look as the children of God today. Our lives don't become problem-free the C L A S S R O O M D E V O T I O N In the Bible, we see Jesus walk the earth as a person looking much like the people we see every day. He spent His time help- ing people to understand that He is the Son of God and our Savior. God showed, in special ways, that Jesus is His Son and our Savior. As we walk through life, we, too, can remember that we have Jesus with us all the time. He helps us every day. God tells us about Jesus and His teachings in the Bible. The Bible is God's Word, and it is always true. As I say sentences, please say after me, "God's Word is always true." (Put the words of this sentence on a sentence strip or chart for students to read along.) Teacher: God gives us His Word in the Bible. Students: God's Word is always true. Teacher: God gives us Jesus to wash away all of our sins. Students: God's Word is always true. moment we come to faith. We face the same social and medical hardships as unbelievers. But if we look with the eyes of faith, we see the King of heaven is still watching over us. The transfiguration re- minds us that Jesus is the ruler of all, and that He cares for us. There is nothing that can steal us from His hand. Continue to encourage your students each day that God gives us His Word so that we can know Him better. We want to help our students have a future of seeking God in His Word. Teacher: Jesus is our Savior and our Friend. Students: God's Word is always true. Teacher: Jesus is God's dear Son. Students: God's Word is always true. Teacher: Jesus is with us when we are afraid or sad. Students: God's Word is always true. Teacher: We will live forever with Jesus. Students: God's Word is always true. PRAY Dear God, thank You for giving us Your Bible so that we can know about You. Thank You for sending Your dear Son, Jesus, to die and rise again so that we can live forever with You. Amen.
