When we decide to follow Jesus, we are called His disciples. But did you know Jesus did special things just for His disciples? This lesson series looks at some of the things Jesus does for those who follow Him.

Check out the video for today’s lesson here: Gateway Encounter Kids - I Am His Disciple Lesson 7

After you share today’s teaching video, have your children say this truth together with you...

Because I am His Disciple, Jesus prays for me.

Jesus prayed for His disciples: He declared God’s truth over them, He made mention of them to God, He made requests about them. Today, Jesus is seated at God’s right hand and He’s still interceding for us (Heb 7:25) which means making requests on our behalf to God. And, He has given us the Holy Spirit who helps us pray, and who also prays for us (Rom 8:26).
