Jesus & Loving Others: Lesson 3

Dear Parents,

We are having a great time in our Bible study Jesus and Loving Others. This week we used Matthew 25:31-46 as our primary Scripture passage. We talked about how Jesus urged us to show His love to people He referred to as “the least of these.” Jesus identified these people as the hungry, the thirsty, the outcast, those in need of clothing, the sick, and those in prison. After looking at Jesus’ teaching, we took some time to discuss who “the least of these” would be in your student’s life and what he or she could do to show the love of Christ to those people. It was a great discussion.

Here are the Scriptures that were used in this week’s lesson:
  • Matthew 25:31-46
  • Deuteronomy 15:7-8 

Next Steps...
Here are some questions you may want to ask your teen this week to help him or her further grasp the lesson on loving those who need it the most:
  • Why do you think Jesus was so focused on loving those who are truly needy? 
  • Who are some people you talked about that might be considered “the least of these” in your world? 
  • What are some practical things our family can do to show God’s love to the poor and the needy in our community? 
  • In what way has your understanding of God’s love changed after the lesson you had this week? 
Thanks for supporting our ministry and for continuing to lead your teenager closer to Christ. Let me know if I can do anything to help in any way.
