The obedience Christ calls us to is the very thing that he portrayed in becoming a servant and dying on the cross. When we love the people around us, we are being like the obedient, says the Bible.

Read Isaiah 58. Israel was often found enjoying the things of God without enjoying God himself! They were the people whose lips praised God, but whose hearts were far from Him. We can look down our noses at this disobedient people and roll our eyes in arrogance; or we can truly examine our sinful nature, find ourselves as guilty as they, and heed the words of Christ so that our hearts will not be far from Him!
Read Matthew 25:31-40. The obedience Christ calls us to is the
very thing that He portrayed in becoming a servant and dying on a cross. Pray that God will give you clarity as you teach this radical obedience to Christ.
Organize and Plan Your Lesson:
- Characters: Jesus, disciples - Intro: Do you have toys at your house? (allow children give answers) Some children don’t have toys.
Do you have a bed at your house? (allow children to give
answers) Some children don’t have a bed.
Do you have food that your parents give you? (allow
children to give answers) Some children don’t have food to eat. - Teach the Narrative Jesus told us how we are supposed to take care of these people who are hungry, sick, and homeless. Listen to what He told His disciples. Some day, Jesus is going to come and sit on His throne. All people of all nations will be there and he will separate them into two groups.
To the group of people who obey, He will tell them that
they will be in the Kingdom of God. He will tell the obedient that because they fed Jesus when He was hungry, gave a drink to Him while He was thirsty, welcomed Him when He was a stranger, and clothed Jesus when He was naked.
When the people hear Jesus say this, they will say, “When did we do that? We didn’t see Jesus hungry, thirsty, a stranger, or naked!”
But Jesus will tell them that whatever they do for
anyone who needs help, they are doing for Him!
- Explain the Narrative
One way we worship God is to love the people around us. When we love the people who are around us, we are being like Christ, and glorifying God!
Let’s memorize this verse so that we are reminded to
think of others: Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interest of others. – Philippians 2:4 Review Questions: 1. Who is Jesus going to talk to? (all people) 2. What will He do with the people? (separate them into two groups, those who obey/those who don’t) 3. Jesus tells the people that they gave Him food when He was hungry, gave Him clothes when He was naked, gave Him drink when He was thirsty. Did the people really do that? (No. They gave food to the hungry, gave clothes to the naked, and gave drink to the thirsty.) 4. Why did Jesus say that was like giving it to Him? (He said that whatever we do for other people, that’s like doing it for Him.)
