1st Grade Bible & Scripture — The Life of Jesus — Stories from the Gospels
Students will learn the parable of the Good Samaritan and understand what it means to love our neighbors.
Jesus was a great teacher! He often told stories called parables to teach important lessons. One of the most famous parables is the Good Samaritan.
A man was walking on a road when robbers hurt him and left him alone. Two people walked by and did not help. But a Samaritan man stopped, bandaged his wounds, and took care of him.
Jesus asked, 'Which of these three was a neighbor to the hurt man?' The answer was the one who helped! Jesus teaches us to be kind and helpful to everyone, even people who are different from us.
Act out the parable of the Good Samaritan. Then draw a picture showing how you can be a good neighbor to someone this week. Write 'Love your neighbor' at the bottom.
