Matthew 8:32

Matthew 8:32

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Jesus' one-word command 'Go' settles the encounter instantly. The result shows the destructive nature of evil — even the pigs were destroyed by what had tormented these men. Jesus freed the men at significant cost.

Memory phrase: One word from Jesus is enough

Talk about it: What do you think Jesus' one word 'Go' tells you about His power?

Prayer: Jesus, Your one word can change everything. Speak into my life and drive out anything that doesn't belong.
