Parables on Who and How We Should Love

7/28/2023

0 Comments

 

064 - Good Samaritan Parable from GNPI on Vimeo.

Jesus came to Earth to teach us how to live in a way that pleased God. This is a story Jesus told his followers to help them to understand how we should show love to others. 

Key Concepts:
1. God wants us to show to love to everyone. 
2. Jesus taught us to love our enemies. 
3. When we serve others, we please God. 

Memory Verse

Matthew 13:34-35
​34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. 35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:
“I will open my mouth in parables,
    I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”

Songs

Introducing the Story Ideas
1. Help children think of ways to help someone in need. This could be a class project. Perhaps collecting food or items for the poor.
​2.  Let one child volunteer be the injured person and show the class how to do simple first aid (plasters, cleaning and bandaging wounds, etc.)

Read Luke 10:25-37 or tell them the story of the Good Samaritan.
