Lesson 15: Sibling Love & Advocacy
Embedded Files
Hi AY Family,
As God’s children, He does not want us to hate another person or a group of people for any reason because they are also His children.
James and John, who were two of Jesus’ disciples, wanted God to send fire down from Heaven to kill the Samaritans because they did not like the Samaritans.
Luke 9:51-56 says: “And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, and sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.”
God wants us to be kind to our siblings, and He does not want us to mistreat them in any way.
Sincerely,
Samuel Reid
