The story of the good Samaritan
A Jewish man was travelling, and was attacked by armed robbers on the way.
They took all his clothes and money, and they beat him really badly. Then they left him beside the road almost dead. By chance, two Jewish persons came along differently and saw the man lying there. Instead of helping him, they crossed to the other side of the road and continued on their journey. Then a Samaritan came along the same road. When the Samaritan saw the Jewish man lying down by the roadside, he had pity on him. He washed and bandaged his wounds. Then he put the man on his donkey and took him to a hotel because there were no hospitals in those days. There, the Samaritan looked after the Jewish man. When it was time for him to leave the town, the Samaritan gave the hotel owner some money. He asked him to continue to look after the sick man until he became well again.
Out of all the men who saw the Jewish man on the side of the road, the Samaritan was the only one who helped.
A Samaritan is someone who comes from Samaria. Jews did not like Samaritans and always looked down on them. They felt that they were better than Samaritans and would not even talk to them
A good Christian is that person that obey the law of the Lord and heaven will be their home.
A bad Christian is that person that doesn’t obey the law of Lord and hell will be their home.
The diagram shows heaven as the home of good Christian and hell as the home of bad Christian, so if you want to go to heaven you must obey the instructions of God.

The meaning of love Love means being kind or good to someone. When you love someone, you do not think bad of, or do evil to the person. God’s type of love is true love. He loved us so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, into the world. Jesus suffered and died for our sins because of his love for us. How to know God’s type of love
Anyone who loves is kind, does not boast, is always patient, and is not selfish. A person who loves does not like or do bad things. Love is the greatest gift from God.
It makes a person good. It lasts forever.
Why we should love one another (1 John 4:1-7)
We have already known that loving all people will show that we are like God. It would also show that we are followers of Jesus, and obey God. Anyone who hates his classmate, teacher, parent, uncle, etc. or abuses people, is not a good child of God. Neither is that person a follower of Jesus.

1. Explain what love is.
