Studying the Bible through a \u201cGod-sized lens\u201d will help us understand who God is and how He acts in our world. This approach will also change how our children view themselves, their blessings, and their purpose.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sharing the Bible through a \u201cGod-sized\u201d lens is not difficult. In our family devotions, we can consistently frame every story with these truths:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>-God is the main character of every story. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>-God is always at work to make Himself known.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>-God blesses His people for a greater purpose that includes others.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bible Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus took His disciples to the region of the Gerasenes where many Gentiles lived. There, they encountered a demon-possessed man living among the tombs, isolated from his family and community. Multiple demons caused him to fly into uncontrollable rages and injure himself. Jesus cast out the demons, leaving the man calm and in his right mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Longing to follow Jesus, the man begged to journey with Him. But Jesus said, \u201cGo home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.\u201d (v. 19) Jesus did not heal this man because of his race or religious background, but out of mercy. Jesus desired for this story of God\u2019s mercy to spread to other Gentiles-the family, friends, and local community of the healed man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bible: Read Mark 5:1-20 with your family. Then do this activity together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Family Activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need: paper for drawing; crayons, colored pencils, or markers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give each child a piece of paper. Have them fold the paper in half to make two columns. Label one column \u201cWithout Jesus\u201d and the other column \u201cWith Jesus\u201d. As a family, discuss how the demon-possessed man changed after Jesus healed him (his home, dress, behavior, emotions, and interactions with other people). Invite your children to draw before and after pictures of the man and his surroundings. Use their pictures to talk about the complete transformation that Jesus brings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a \u201cGod-sized\u201d lens in this family devotion. How did Jesus\u2019 refusal to let the healed man join Him demonstrate God\u2019s mercy to others who did not yet know Him?<strong> <\/strong>Pray that as unreached people come to know Jesus, they will be bold in sharing what God has done for them with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn More<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For a year\u2019s worth of family devotions that focus on God\u2019s blessing and purpose, download <a href=\"https:\/\/weavefamily.org\/pt\/big-story-series\/\">One Big Story.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Help you children engage with God\u2019s Word in an ongoing way using the <a href=\"https:\/\/bibleappforkids.com\/\">Bible App for Kids<\/a>.
