SUNDAY SCHOOL

2-24-19 - This Week in Sunday School

Sunday School was held for LITTLES only this week.
Theme - Who is My Neighbor? - The Parable of the Good Samaritan - Luke 10:25-37 

A man asks Jesus what he must do “to inherit eternal life.” When Jesus mentions the commandment to “love...your neighbor as yourself,” the man asks, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan, making clear that “neighbor” is connected not to proximity in living habitations, but rather to giving and receiving unconditional mercy and compassion. 

Since the beginning of his ministry, Jesus has taught that God’s salvation is open to all, and that God’s world is a world of which we all are part—even Samaritans, even people we hate, even people who hate us. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, the man from Samaria puts into practice what Zacchaeus later will promise—he offers compassionate love to a dying stranger who hates him, ministering to a newly poor and marginalized person even as he himself is marginalized by the Jews. In this act of compassion, the Samaritan embraces God’s command to us to offer hospitality and welcome, including all people in our offering of mercy even as God does. 

In the new age that began at Jesus’ birth, God welcomes, invites and opens up a total experience of union with God, to which we respond in repentance, conversion and then in love for the poor and for all persons. This is the heart of Luke’s spirituality. 

Littles Craft/Activity - Our Littles had a couple of Good Samaritan themed mazes and another worksheet.  We also  played a bible themed concentration/memory game.

We sometimes find it hard to love the people around us, especially those who are different from us. I know that many people are hesitant when it comes to making friends with other people, but we must always keep in mind the teachings of the Lord. He encourages us to love our neighbors the same way we love ourselves. This is one of the ways where we can show the Lord God that we want to spread His teachings and unconditional love to people who are not yet aware of His power. Building good relationships with our neighbors will help us to develop compassion for other people.
