The man had knew in his head that which is most important in life, for previously had answered Jesus: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and love your neighbor as yourself." (Luke10:27)
But the man did not understand the application of the two greatest commandments. So Jesus answered the man’s question by telling the story of the good Samaritan.
We shared this story in our kids club last week. This week we added to it by sharing another story Jesus told, the story of the foolish rich man.
This rich man was considered foolish because he was “one who stores up riches for himself, but is not rich toward God” by pursuing God’s kingdom (Luke 12:21, 31)
After telling this story, we gave the children opportunity to be good neighbors to each other. We had them draw names and then create a card for the person whose name they drew.
It was fun to see their creative juices flow. We put out lots of materials but didn’t direct them as to how to create their cards.
