Made In God's Image Week 3: The Good Samaritan
Hey parents! This week your child learned that because we are made in God’s image, we can take care of people who need help. They heard the Bible story of The Good Samaritan, too! Use these questions as a guide to talk over this week’s lesson after they’ve watched the video service!
-
- What was your favorite part of the video we just watched?
- How did it make you feel when so many other people walked past the injured Jewish man?
It was not very caring to walk past him and not offer any help. Remember, God wants us to take care of everyone, even the people who are different than us. Jesus helped so many people when he lived on Earth, and because we were created to become more like him, we need to help people, too. - The Samaritan helped the man on the side of the road even though he was different than him. Should you help people even when they are different than you? Why?
Yes! Because we are all created by God and loved by God. God loves the things that make us different from each other, so we can, too, and help anyone! And if you don’t know how to help, we can figure that out together. - In what ways did the Good Samaritan take care of the hurt Jewish man?
He cleaned and bandaged his wounds, took him to an inn to get some rest, and paid for his stay. - In Game Time today, we played Name That Noise. How can you use your ears to take care of people who need help?
You can listen to people when they tell you how they are feeling or what is happening to them. A big part of taking care of people is listening to them! Then, you can take what they said and go get help from an adult to give them the help they need. - Our memory verse, Ephesians 2:10, says, “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” What are some good things you can do to take care of people who need help?
You can talk to me or an adult you trust if you hear someone is hurt or being mistreated or bullied and we can take care of them together. You can look for people who might be sitting alone or feeling lonely and ask if they need a friend. You can look for people who might be hungry or thirsty and we can bring them something to eat or drink. You can even use your words to say a prayer for someone who needs help.
Lastly, we know you may have had some tough conversations with your child recently about what is going on in our world. To help, we have gathered videos, articles, and resources to help you through the tough stuff that parenting throws at you.
