Lesson Development – ABC Model
A – Anticipation (Warm-up / Starter)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Teacher begins by asking learners: “Have you ever been sick and someone helped you get well?” Learners share short stories. Teacher links to the idea that Jesus also healed people.

B – Building Knowledge (Main Lesson Body)

Time: 25–30 minutes

  1. Teacher Explanation: Jesus as the Healer
  • Teacher introduces the concept:

“Jesus is called the ‘Healer’ because during His time on earth, He healed many people who were sick or had disabilities. He made blind people see, helped the deaf to hear, the lame to walk, and even cleansed those with serious diseases like leprosy.”

  • Definition:

Healer means someone who makes a person well again, restoring health. Jesus healed both the body and the spirit—He helped people physically and also forgave their sins, making them spiritually well.

 

  1. Biblical Reference and Storytelling
  • Teacher reads Luke 17:11–19, the story of the healing of the ten lepers.
  • Teacher asks learners to listen carefully and imagine what it felt like to be healed.
  • Demonstration:
    • Teacher or volunteers dramatize the story.
    • Assign roles: Jesus, the ten lepers, the healed man who returned to thank Jesus, etc.
    • Use simple props or gestures (covering faces to show leprosy, walking slowly then joyfully walking after healing).

 

  1. Other Healing Stories (Examples)
  • Teacher shares brief summaries or narrates:
    • Bartimaeus: A blind man sitting by the roadside who called out to Jesus and received sight (Mark 10:46-52).
    • Paralytic man: Lowered through the roof by friends to reach Jesus, who healed him and forgave his sins (Mark 2:1-12).
    • Woman with the issue of blood: Touched Jesus’ cloak and was healed after suffering for 12 years (Mark 5:25-34).
    • Jairus’ daughter: Jesus raised her from the dead, showing His power over life and death (Mark 5:21-43).

 

  1. Expanded Learners’ Activities
  • Group Dramatization:
    • Divide learners into small groups.
    • Each group chooses one healing story (from the examples above or others).
    • Groups prepare a short skit to present to the class, acting out the healing event.
  • Creative Writing or Drawing:
    • Learners write or draw how they think the person felt before and after being healed by Jesus.
    • Encourage them to think about feelings of pain, hope, joy, and gratitude.
  • Class Discussion:
    • Discuss why Jesus healed people—was it only to make them well physically? (Answer: No, He also wanted to show God’s love and restore spiritual wholeness.)

 

  1. Assessment Checks
  • Oral questions to check understanding:
  1. Who was Bartimaeus, and what did Jesus do for him?
  2. What sickness did the ten lepers have?
  3. Why do we call Jesus the Healer?
  4. How did Jesus’ healing show God’s love?
  5. Can Jesus heal people today? How? (Encourage faith and prayer answers.)
  • Written or drawing task:
    • Write one sentence or draw a picture showing a healing story they learned today.

 

  1. Notes (Expanded & Detailed)
  • Jesus as the Healer reveals His divine power given by God the Father.
  • Healing was not just physical; Jesus also healed spiritually by forgiving sins and restoring hope.
  • Jesus showed great compassion, kindness, and love for people who were sick and suffering.
  • His healing ministry teaches Christians today to care for those who are ill or hurting.
  • Faith played a role—many healed people believed Jesus could heal them.
  • Jesus’ healing also points forward to the ultimate healing that will come in God’s kingdom when there will be no more sickness or pain.

 

  1. Optional Extension Activities
  • Memory Verse: Teach learners a simple verse related to healing, e.g.,
    “Jesus said, ‘Your faith has healed you.’” (Mark 10:52)
  • Prayer Time: Lead a short prayer asking God to help us show compassion and care like Jesus did.
  • Visual Aids: Use pictures or flashcards showing different healings of Jesus.

C – Consolidation (Conclusion & Assessment)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Summary: Jesus is called the Healer because He healed many people during His ministry, showing God’s power and love.
Evaluation Method (Expanded):
Exit slip/quiz: Learners write down one healing miracle of Jesus and explain why it shows He is a healer. Teacher collects slips and gives oral feedback.
Assignment (Expanded): Write 3 healing miracles of Jesus in your notebooks and explain how they helped the people.
Follow-up Activity: Learners are encouraged to share one way they can help a sick person at home or school.
Differentiation / Inclusive Strategies
Learners with difficulty writing can draw pictures of a healing miracle instead. Teacher pairs stronger learners with weaker ones in group dramatization.
