Story 72 • Luke 10

Who Is My Neighbor?



The Big Picture

At the beginning of your lesson, build anticipation by introducing the setting and the significance of what is about to happen in this week's story. {5 minutes}


Remember how Jesus’s disciples were upset that children were coming to Jesus? They thought Jesus was too busy, too important, and too powerful to waste his precious time with children. They misunderstood the King and his kingdom, so Jesus corrected them. The disciples weren’t the only ones who misunderstood the King and his kingdom. They weren’t the only ones Jesus needed to correct. There was also another group. But this second group was trickier and meaner than the disciples. They didn’t like Jesus; they wanted him dead. Sometimes they’d ask him questions to get him into trouble. In today’s lesson, they ask him one of those trick questions. But Jesus isn’t tricked. Instead, he uses their question to correct their wrong views about his kingdom.
