Who do you think Jesus is? The questions I have about Jesus are:
Help the men get their friend to Jesus.

WHEN JESUS RETURNED FROM HIS TRIP ACROSS THE LAKE, A HUGE CROWD WELCOMED HIM.
A MAN NAMED JAIRUS CAME TO HIM AND SAID ...
PLEASE COME TO MY HOME JESUS. MY 12-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER IS DYING.
MEANWHILE, A SICK WOMAN FROM THE CROWD WAS FOLLOWING JESUS.
IF I JUST TOUCH JESUS I WILL GET WELL. AND IMMEDIATELY THE WOMAN WAS HEALED. WHO TOUCHED ME?
NOT ME.
A SERVANT OF JAIRUS ARRIVED ...
MASTER, PEOPLE ARE CROWDING ALL AROUND AND TOUCHING YOU.
I TOUCHED YOU. NO-ONE COULD HEAL ME FOR 12 YEARS BUT NOW I AM HEALED.
YOU’RE NOW WELL BECAUSE OF YOUR FAITH. MAY GOD GIVE YOU PEACE.
NOT ME.
DON’T WORRY! HAVE FAITH AND YOUR DAUGHTER WILL GET WELL.
THE CHILD ISN’T DEAD. SHE’S JUST ASLEEP.
YOUR DAUGHTER HAS DIED. DON’T BOTHER THE TEACHER ANYMORE.
BUT THE PEOPLE LAUGHED BECAUSE THEY KNEW SHE WAS DEAD. AND JAIRUS’ DAUGHTER CAME BACK TO LIFE!
CHILD, GET UP!
GIVE THE CHILD SOMETHING TO EAT AND DO NOT TELL ANYONE WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE.

Jacob and Esau are very different. They are like chalk and cheese. Using the passages here and what you have learned in these lessons, write inside the outlines what Jacob and Esau are like.
