THE GOLDEN RULE/JESUS PRAYS TO HIS FATHER FOR US-YEAR 5

 

THE GOLDEN RULE

MEMORY VERSE: LUKE 10:27 "And he answered, you 

shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with

 all your soul, and with all your strength and to love your

 neighbour as yourself."

THE GOLDEN RULE

One day, a lawyer asked Jesus what he MUST do to enter 

heaven, Jesus replied by giving him the Gold Rule saying: 

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and

 with all your soul, and with all your strength and love 

your neighbour as yourself." Luke 10:27 (This is the

 Golden Rule).


 THE CONTENT OF THE GOLDEN RULE

1. We MUST love God with all our heart, soul and strength.

2. We MUST obey Him.

3. We MUST follow His Commandments and do what He wants us to do.

4. We MUST love our neighbour as ourselves.

 


JESUS PRAYS TO HIS FATHER FOR US

Memory verse: Luke 23:43 "And he said to him, Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise."

What is prayer?                                

Prayer means a solemn request for help or expression of thanks addressed to God or another deity.

 It is the communication of the human soul with the Lord who

 created the soul.

 Jesus' teaching on love of one's enemies

Who are our enemies? Our enemies are people who do bad things to us.

Jesus said we should love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us so that we may be called sons of God.

Jesus prayed for the Jews who hated him so much and even killed him. In Luke 23:34, Jesus prayed thus: "Father forgive them; for they know not what they do."

For us to be true Christians, we have to be imitators of Christ 

by praying for people even the ones that do not love us.

ITS EFFECT  PETER’S FIRST SPEECH On hearing the false accusation that the disciples who were  under the influence of the Holy Spirit, were drunk, Peter stood  up to refute the charge of drunkenness. This led to his first  speech on the day of Pentecost. Peter told his hearers that it was unlikely that they would be  drunk at the third hour of the day, that is, 9.00am. He made  references to the Old Testament to prove that Jesus of  Nazareth was the Messiah. He quoted Prophet Joel 2:28 to  show that they were not under the influence of the Holy Spirit . He cited the miracles, the crucifixion and death of Jesus as  proofs of His Messiahship. He said God raised Him from the  dead as David had prophesied in Psalm 16:10 :         “ For thou wilt not abandon my soul to Hades, nor let thy  Holy One see corruption.” Pe
