False God

Scripture Passage: Matthew 12:25-28

Beelzebul was a false god who was worshipped as lord of the flies. Because flies go everywhere spreading disease they are hated by us all. The people who worshipped Beelzebul tried to appease him so that he would protect them from harm and they would even ask him to heal them. Only Jesus has the power given by God's Spirit to heal us and deliver us from demons. God has created many things that will help us to overcome diseases and science has found them for doctors to use to help us be well. False gods can never bring us real healing.

Questions:
1. Who was Beelzebul?
He was a false god that people worshipped.
2. Why should we try to get rid of flies?
Because they spread disease by walking on our food.
3. Who has made the things that medicine comes from?
God has created them.


Memory verse: Matthew 8:16
That evening many demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. All the spirits fled when he commanded them to leave; and he healed all the sick. (NLT)
