John 12:18

One miracle, widely shared, drew an entire crowd to Jesus. The Gospel spreads when believers tell what they have seen and heard.

Memory phrase: Miracles draw people to Jesus.

Talk about it: What happens when people hear what Jesus can do?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, use Your wonders to draw people to You.
