Good Samaritan

Day 1- 01 THE STORY

Today, you are going to read about a man who helped someone in their time of need.
Read Luke 10:30-37
How many people passed by the man who was beaten and robbed?
Who helped him? How did he help him?

Day 2- 02 THE WITNESS

Read Luke 10:30-37 again
There were many witnesses to the poor guy who was robbed and beaten.
They might not have seen the crime, but they saw he needed help.
What are some reasons you think these men didn’t stop? (hint… think about reasons why you might not have stopped) Which person pleased God?
Do you think the Good Samaritan is an example of the I’m Third life?

Day 3- 03 THE SOURCE

Read Isaiah 41:10
Who always helps you in your time of need?
Think about a time that God helped you and gave you strength.
Write how He helped you.

GIVE IT A TRY!

One way you can help others is by going through your room and giving away things that you don’t need. Ask your parents to help you with this. Remember to give people good things, not just old and gross things. If you have two winter coats, maybe you can give one of them to someone who doesn’t have a coat this winter.

Day 4- 04 THE MOTIVE

God helps you so you should help others. God even sees helping others as helping Him.
Read Matthew 25:35-40
You are helping God when you are helping whom? Do you take the time to help others?

Day 5- 05 CAUGHT IN THE ACT

Read Philippians 2:4
Write it down and memorize it today. Once you have it memorized, say it to a friend, parent, or sibling. Telling other people helps us remember what we memorize!

Write down on your character sheet what you learned from the story of the good samaritan.
