Many of Jesus' followers were fishermen. Jesus often went fishing with them. He tells us that we should be "fishers of people." This means we should try to draw people to us with our love for them. See how many fish you can catch, but watch out for shark and octopus!

If you wait too long, the boat will sink, and you will lose points! You had too many fish in your net and the boat sank! You lose 100 points. Jesus was from Galilee, where there was a lake. The bible tells us he often went to the lake. That was where he often preached and taught. Fish was an important source of food for people in Jesus' time. Once, he fed many, many people with just a few fish and loaves of bread. This was a miracle. Jesus can satisfy our needs, too. Did you know the fish is a symbol of being a Christian? That's because the Greek letters that spell "fish" also describe who Jesus was--the Son of God. Did you know that in some fishing places, the fish are almost all gone? We should be good stewards, and never take so much from nature that it won't grow back. Some people think that Jonah was swallowed by a whale, but in the story, the bible says it was a big fish. Many of Jesus' disciples were fishermen. Peter, Andrew, James and John made their living by fishing. Did you know that after Jesus was crucified and rose again, he had a meal of fish with his disciples? Once, Jesus' disciples couldn't catch any fish. He told them to cast their nets again, and with his help, they caught so many fish the boat almost sank! Jesus wants to help us, too. NavGame

Moses' mother put him in a basket and floated him down the Nile river to save him from the Egyptians. God used a river to save his life! John the Forerunner baptized Jesus in the Jordan River. That was when the Holy Spirit came down as a dove, and God the father spoke, calling Jesus his beloved son. This story shows us how Jesus was truly the Son of God! The book of Psalms often uses rivers to describe our life with God: "There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High." Do you know how God saved the Hebrew nation when they were fleeing from Egypt? He parted the waters of the Red Sea, and they walked across on dry land! God will make a way for us to safely go where we need to be. God tells us what heaven will be like, and that there will be a beautiful river there: "And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb."

God was teaching his people to have faith he would take care of their needs. We can have faith he will care for us, too. The manna God sent to the Israelites kept them alive, but God gives us special bread so that we will live forever. It is the "Bread of Life." The Israelites made a kind of bread with Manna. Bread has a special importance to us. We take what God has given us, and offer it back to him. This is an important part of the sacrament of Communion. God gave manna to his people when they were traveling in the desert. Do you ever feel like you are lonely or frustrated or sad? That's what traveling in a desert is like. God will care for you, too. It's important to share what you have been given. God says, "They will know we are Christians by our love for each other." NavGame
