Story - NT: Parable of the Good Samaritan (sketchboard)
Who is my neighbour?
"Who's 7 years old here? Who's 10 years old? Who wants to be 15? Who wants to live for ever? Lots of us do! And that's just the question a clever man asked Jesus one day. "Teacher!" he said: " What do I have to do to live in heaven for ever?" Jesus didn't give him a straight answer, he asked him a question: "What does it say in the Word of God?" The man replied, "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and all your mind. And you must love your neighbour as yourself.' "That's quite right!" said Jesus. "Do this and you will live for ever." But the clever man, a lawyer, was not quite clear about this, so he asked, "Who is my neighbour?"
So Jesus told him a story - a parable. Who knows what a parable is? It's an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. Are you ready for the story?
