APPLY: (5–15 minutes)
Look at the pictures and video clips again.
Ask: Where do you think Jesus was when these things were happening?
If you read the book, “Where was God on Sept. 11?” share insights you gained from that book.
Say: Just like Jesus was with the disciples when they were walking along the road and they didn’t recognize him, Jesus is with us when tragedy hits but we don’t always recognize him. Bad things do happen to people, but Jesus is walking with us in those bad times.
Share stories of persons who have felt God with them during a bad time. This could include persons from your congregation, students, or stories you have collected and brought to class.

RESPOND: (5–7 minutes)
Share the snack with the class.
Say: The two disciples recognized Jesus when they shared a meal together. We are sharing this snack to symbolically remind us to look and be aware of Jesus’ presence in our lives—during the bad times as well as the good times and the “just average” times.
Close by inviting students to offer sentence prayers for Jesus to be with persons they know who are going though tough times, either on a local or worldwide level.
