Teacher’s Devotional
When we talk about Jesus’ story of the Good Samaritan, it is easy to God’s Word & M
e
Showing God’s love mea
think that we would never emulate the priest or the Levite. But we can ns we do more
relate to these characters, just as did Jesus’ audience, because we know than just talk about ca
ring for others:
people who let other things get in the way of their opportunity to put we put our words into
action.
love into action—and those people may be us! As John points out,
love in word is not enough; love is proven through action and in truth
(trustworthiness, integrity, honesty).
We’re all prone to think we love God or others, whether or not we prove it by action. Like the priest in Jesus’ story, we may think it’s ac-
ceptable to avoid action if we can give a spiritual-sounding reason! After all, consider the priest: He would not have been able to serve
in the Temple if he had touched a dead man. Wasn’t it more important to be ready to serve God than to save the life of a stranger? Ex-
actly Jesus’ point: Saving the life of a battered, bloody stranger IS serving God! And Jesus brings home the point by telling that only a
Samaritan (a “half-breed” outsider despised by “good Jews”) acted in love.
Your neighbor’s race, social position, difficulties or even prejudice toward you may need to be ignored. If we are to love in words and action,
we need to love every person our Father places in our path. Such practical love is not easily given, but knowing we have God’s supernatural
love will allow us to act with His strength to be a neighbor to all those we meet. God has already provided the ability (once we begin, in faith)
to work out with our hands the kind of love we profess with our mouths! He is trustworthy and faithful to do it!

Tell the Story
(On low table or floor, set out stuffed lunch-size bags to represent hills.)
One day, a man asked Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” Here is the story Jesus told:
A man was on a long trip. (Move toy people to demonstrate story action.) He didn’t take an airplane, or a train, or a car; he didn’t even
take a horse. He walked. In those days, almost everyone walked everywhere!
As the man was walking along, robbers jumped out from behind some rocks. They took his money. They even took his clothes. The
robbers beat him up, too! Then they left him there, hurt and all alone! He needed HELP! (Hold head as if hurt.)
Soon, the hurt man heard footsteps. (Hold hand to ear.) The man hoped that this person would help him! But he didn’t. He just looked
the other way and kept right on walking. (Hold shoulder as if hurt.) Ohhh—his SHOULDER hurt. Who would help him?
Then the hurt man heard MORE footsteps! (Hold hand to ear.) Step, step, step––someone ELSE was coming down the road. Surely this
man would stop and help! But he didn’t. He just kept on walking. (Hold knee as if hurt.) Ohhh—his KNEE hurt! Who would help him?
Then he heard the clipping, clopping sound of an animal’s hooves. This man was a Samaritan. He was called a Samaritan because he
came from a place called Samaria. The Samaritan saw the hurt man, just like the others did. But he STOPPED. He got off his donkey
and HELPED him!
The Samaritan opened his bag. He gave the hurt man a drink of water. Then he took out oil and cleaned the hurt man’s cuts. He band-
aged all those hurt places. Then the Samaritan lifted the hurt man up on his donkey and took the hurt man to an inn. (That’s a place
like a motel.) (Use blocks to build a building representing an inn.)
All night long, the Samaritan took care of the hurt man. He even paid money so that the hurt man could stay a long time and get
WELL! (Pay out money.)
Jesus’ story was finished. He asked, “Who was a neighbor to the hurt man?” The man answered, “The Samaritan—the one who
showed kindness to him.” Jesus answered, “That’s right! Go and show kindness! You can BE a neighbor to people who need your help.”

God’s Word & Me

God loves each one of us very much. And He wants us to be kind and show His
love to others. That’s a way we can show them God loves them, too! The Bible Love in
says, “Love others with actions, not just words.” When we help others, we are
being their neighbors! Pray, Dear Jesus, thank You for loving us. Please help us action
to be good neighbors and show Your love to other people. Amen.

during the story and lead children to respond dramatically.

Tell the Story

One day a lawyer was talking with Jesus. This lawyer wanted to ask Jesus the most difficult question he could think of. He asked Jesus,
“What must I do to inherit eternal life?”
Jesus surprised the lawyer by asking a question of His own! He asked, “What does the Law say?” So the lawyer answered, “Love the
Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength—and love your neighbor as yourself!”
“Good answer!” said Jesus. “If you love God and your neighbor with all you’ve got, you’ll live forever!”
But this man wanted to know even more. He may have been looking for a way out of obeying Jesus command about loving others. So
he asked, “Well, then, who IS my neighbor?”
And Jesus answered by telling a story. (Invite four volunteers to play the hurt man, the priest, the Levite and the Samaritan, pantomiming
actions as you tell the story.)
Once there was a man who traveled alone on the deserted road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Suddenly, a group of robbers charged into
his path! (Boo!) They took everything he had—even his clothes! They beat him up badly and left him half-dead by the side of the road!
The man tried to get up, but he couldn’t. He was hurt too badly! In deep despair, the man closed his eyes, thinking he was going to die
right there in that deserted place. (Groan.)
Soon a priest came walking down the road. Maybe he could help the hurt man. (Yeah!) He was probably on his way to Jerusalem to
serve in the Temple. As he hurried down the road, he saw the man. The priest could see that the man was breathing but he was barely
alive! The priest may have thought, If he dies while I’m touching him, then I can’t enter the Temple until after sunset. THAT would be a disas-
ter! I DO have my responsibilities to think of! So the priest quickly made up his mind and moved to the other side of the road. He hurried
away toward his important job at the Temple—more important to him than helping a hurt man! (Boo!)
In a little while, another man came down the road. This man was a Levite. He was also going to take his turn working at the Temple,
perhaps as a worship leader or a teacher. And as he walked, he saw the beaten man lying by the side of the road. He walked a little
closer to inspect the crime scene. How awful! This man was barely alive! He was bleeding! Maybe this man could help the hurt man.
(Yeah!) The Levite looked—but he didn’t stop. Maybe he was afraid of being robbed. Maybe he was late for work. But whatever reason
he had, he decided it was more important than helping a bleeding, battered stranger. He hurried on down the road. (Boo!)
By now, the hurt man must have been feeling hopeless! The very best kinds of people—priests and Levites—had left him to die in the
dust. (Groan.) Who would possibly help him now?

Lesson 7:Layout 1 11/2/09 3:28 PM Page 134

Lesson 7

But then he heard the hooves of a donkey. A third man was coming down the road. This man was a Samaritan—a person the Jews
didn’t like very much. Normally, this beaten-up traveler wouldn’t even have spoken to a Samaritan!
But the Samaritan wasn’t calculating whether or not the man might LIKE him. He wasn’t thinking about what other things he had to
do or whether or not he would get robbed. No, he saw a hurt, beaten, man who needed help—and he STOPPED and DID something
about it! (Yeah!)
The Samaritan got off his donkey and gave the man water to drink, poured a little oil on the wounds and then wrapped them with
bandages. The hurt man couldn’t walk, so the Samaritan put the beaten man onto his own donkey to carry him to an inn—a place
where they could spend the night safely, like a hotel. The Samaritan stayed by the bed of the injured man all night, taking care of him.
In fact, the Samaritan paid the innkeeper to take care of the hurt man until he was strong enough to travel again!
Jesus finished His story. He asked the lawyer, “Now, which of these men acted like a neighbor to the man who was robbed and beaten?”
“The one who showed kindness, of course!” answered the lawyer. “Then go and do the same!” Jesus said.

God’s Word & Me

It’s easy to be kind to people we like. But Jesus told this story to show that God
wants us to love like He loves—in action, not just in words. It’s not enough to Love in
talk about caring for others; we have to put our words into action! The lawyer’s
question, “WHO is my neighbor?” wasn’t as important as asking, “How can I
action
BE a neighbor?” Anyone who needs our help is our neighbor!
• Invite a child to read 1 John 3:18 aloud. Then invite volunteers to quote John 3:16. What did God do to show us love? (He sent
Jesus to die for us so we can join His family.) That’s a LOT of love! If God loves us this much, how much love do you think
we should show—even to people we don’t like?
• Who is a person it might be hard to show love or kindness to? (Bully. Little brother or sister. Cranky neighbor.) Think of
one action you could do to show love to that person.
• When it’s hard to show love or care, when we don’t feel like it, what can we do? (Ask God. He will make us able to show
His love.) Invite children to pray silently and then pray aloud with them, asking God to help them care for others and show His love
even when it’s not an easy thing to do.

3. To collect their team’s verse cards, players take turns running across the
room, opening the umbrella, picking up a card, closing the umbrella and then
running back to their teams. Teams put verse cards in order. Read verse aloud
with all children.

Talk About
• How many actions can you think of that would show love and
kindness to a friend at school? To someone you live with? As children
tell actions, encourage them to be specific in describing the actions. These are
all good ways to do what 1 John 3:18 talks about—show love for
others in actions, not just words. Read verse aloud.
• When do you think it might be hardest to show love in action? What advice would you give to a friend who finds
it hard to show love and care to others? (Remember times people have cared for you. Pray and ask God’s help. Think of how
your actions can affect others.)
• What are some of the reasons it’s good to do what this verse says—not just talk about caring for others, but
doing it? (Others see that following Jesus really makes a difference in how a person acts. Helps people get along. Others show care
back to you.)
• Think of someone who shows love to you and God for that person. Now think of someone you need help in show-
ing love to. Ask God’s help. Pause to allow time for children to pray, and then close the prayer time, thanking God for His love for
us and asking His help in passing it on.

For Younger Children

Number the back of the cards in verse order. Open the umbrellas and place the cards under the umbrella. Children take turns walking
up to the umbrella, getting a card and bringing it back to their teams. Be available to help children place cards in number order and
then turn them over. Read words aloud to children.

being kind to the person.)
• How can we know good ways to show that we care for oth-
ers? (Ask the person how you can help. Read God’s Word and know His
commands. Follow the examples of others.)
• What makes it hard for kids sometimes to actually treat oth-
ers in kind ways, instead of just talking about showing kind-
ness? (Someone makes them angry. They forget to ask God for help to
act in good ways. They feel like it’s someone else’s turn to be kind.)
• What might help you continue to show love and care for others, even when you don’t feel like it? (Pray to God and
ask His help. Remember how God and others cared for you.) Lead children in prayer, asking God’s help to act in loving ways instead of
only talking about showing love.

For Younger Children

Children make at least four circles on their papers. After coloring circles, print (or let children print) one letter from the word “love” in
each circle.

Bible Verse Game

Repeat 1 John 3:18 aloud with children. Children stand in a
line. Assign a word of the verse to each child in order. Children
walk around. At your signal, children quickly form a rainfor-
est vine by placing themselves in verse order with a hand on
the shoulder of the person ahead. Children say verse words in
order, and then repeat all together. Repeat as time permits,
assigning children different verse words or challenging them
to see if they can form the vine faster.

Song
You, or another leader, lead children in singing “Love Never
Fails,” adding motions and/or clapping if desired.

Prayer
Who is someone you know who shows their love and care by their actions—not just their words? As children re-
spond, tell your answer, too. Lead children in prayer, thanking God for the people they mentioned. End prayer by thanking God for
His love and asking His help in showing love to others.

Song
You, or another leader, lead children in singing “Following Jesus,” adding motions and/or clapping if desired.
