Lesson 4: Have Mercy

In the next verse of the passage we are learning in Colossians 3, the Apostle Paul tells us to “clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness...” These are two things that are not easy to find in today’s “me first” society. In this lesson, the children will learn from the story of Jesus healing the blind man. They will see how Jesus looked for an opportunity to show mercy and kindness to this man. In the same way, the children will learn that each of us must do our part to look for opportunities to show mercy and kindness toward others. If we clothe our selves in kindness and mercy, others will see Christ in us.
