Mark 16:15 – He said to them, “go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.” 

The 5^thand 6^thgrade Faith Formation class at Our Lady of the Highways Catholic Church in Thomasville, NC, USA, is learning what it means to be true disciples of Christ.  We thought a new and exciting way to spread God’s Word would be to use travel bugs.  Each child in the class chose a story from the Bible and colored a picture to illustrate it. 

Please keep our travel bugs moving along as the kids will be monitoring their progress throughout the Faith Formation term. 

The Temptation of Jesus
 

Matthew 4 

After His baptism, Jesus spent time alone with God in the wilderness. For forty days, He ate no food. He grew very, very hungry. "Jesus," called a voice, "if You are really God's Son, why don't You turn these stones into bread so that You can eat?"

Jesus recognized Satan's voice, and although He was hungry, He said, "It is written, 'Man does not live by eating only bread, but by every word that comes from God's mouth.'"

Then Satan showed Jesus the peak of the temple and said, "If You are really God's Son, You could jump from here and Scripture says angels would catch You."

"It also says, 'Do not tempt God,"' answered Jesus.

So Satan took Jesus to the top of a tall mountain and said, "Look down there. See all that lies below You, every kingdom, every single thing on the earth. Bow down and worship me, and I will give it all to you."

"Get away from me, Satan!" commanded Jesus. "It is written, 'Worship God alone, and serve only Him.'"

At that, Satan fled, and angels came down and cared for Jesus.
