完成本课后，孩子们将学习到我们可以顺服耶稣，因为祂给了圣灵来帮助我们认识真理。
主题
圣灵, 耶稣, 顺服
等孩子(10分钟) 上课前，为每个孩子印制足够多的岛屿着色页。在孩子们到达之前，在桌子上准备好以下颜色的蜡笔或签字笔：黄色、深蓝色、浅蓝色、棕色、绿色和白色。当孩子们到达时，给他们一份着色表，告诉他们按照指示，尽努力涂出漂亮的图片。按照指示，其实图片会被涂错颜色。完成后，讨论孩子们遵循指示的感受。
解释说，有时顺服很容易，尤其是当这是你想做的事。但在其他时候，顺服可能没有那么有意义，比如在你不累的时候上床睡觉，或者给一个傻傻的图片涂色。今天我们将找出为什么顺服耶稣时感觉总是很好。

你们若爱我，就必遵守我的诫命。-约翰福音14:15
在黑板上画一条线，代表这节经文的每个字母。让孩子们依次选择一个字母，如果这个字母是这节经文的一部分，就把它放在相应的空白线上面。被叫到而没有使用的字母也可以写在黑板上。第一个正确说出整节经文的孩子可以得到奖励。

故事与讨论(15分钟)
介绍：
当你今天来到主日学课堂时，你按说明给一幅画上了色。你被要求遵循指示，尽管没道理。但通过遵循它们，你可能会觉得自己没有违抗命令。耶稣要求我们遵守的命令是有道理的。不幸的是，魔鬼会尽其所能让我们做错事。它用各种各样的东西诱惑我们。幸运的是，耶稣给了我们圣灵，让祂住在我们里面，教导我们，引导我们做正确的事情。在我们今天的圣经故事中，耶稣与祂的门徒就谈论了圣灵。
在阅读这段经文之前，请在圣经词典中查找"保惠师"一词，或参考以下定义。
保惠师：在所有事情上的顾问。圣灵是天父在我们里面的存在，因此是我们的安慰者，不仅安慰我们，而且还加强、帮助和劝告我们。其权威性就像训练有素的法律顾问对他的客户那样。
读 约翰福音14：15-21；23-27
问题讨论：
1. 如果我们爱耶稣，我们会怎么做？ (顺服祂的命令。)
2. 耶稣以一种特殊的方式提到了圣灵。祂给圣灵起了什么名字？(保惠师。)
3. 在第21节中，当我们遵守祂的命令时，耶稣是如何向我们展示祂自己的？(祂不是通过视觉来显示自己，而是通过圣灵住在我们里面的生命来显示自己。）
4. 圣灵将在我们的生活中做什么？(教导我们一切，提醒我们耶稣所说的一切。）
5. 耶稣留给我们的平安与世界所给予的不同吗？(是的) 如何不同? (允许讨论。)

应用(4分钟)
那么我们怎样才能顺服耶稣呢？首先，通过学习圣经中祂的话语，做祂所教导我们的事。但耶稣要求天父赐给我们非常特别的一位，帮助我们顺服：圣灵。如果没有圣灵，魔鬼会很容易让我们做坏事，撒谎，偷窃，欺骗，败坏我们的思想。但圣灵会向我们表明这些事情实际上都是错的。祂不会用锤子砸我们的头，不会，但祂确实在我们做坏事的时候给我们一种不好的感觉。当我们做正确的事时，祂也会给我们一种好的感觉，即使当时我们觉得没有道理。耶稣称这种美好的感觉为爱。
圣灵通过许多方式向我们说话。祷告是一个很好的方法，可以让你的心准备好听圣灵说话。当我们读圣经时，或者当我们听神所使用的人说真理时，比如我们的牧师，祂也会对我们说话。有时，我们通过生活中发生的事情听到圣灵对我们说话。然而，我们必须小心，不要混淆我们认为是圣灵在说话，而实际上不是。确定的最好方法是将我们认为听到的东西与圣经中的内容进行比较。圣灵总是与神的话语一致。

DISCOVERING JESUS
LESSON 3: WE CAN OBEY JESUS
After completing this lesson, the children will learn that we can obey Jesus, because He gives us the Holy Spirit to help us recognize the truth.
TOPICS Holy Spirit, Jesus, Obedience
AS KIDS ARRIVE (10 minutes) Before class, print enough copies of the Island coloring sheet for each child. Before the kids arrive, have crayons or markers of only the following colors laid out on the table. Yellow, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Brown, Green and White. As the kids arrive, give them a copy of the coloring sheet, and tell them to follow the directions, and do the best they can to make a pretty picture. By following the directions, the items in the picture will be colored wrong. When finished, discuss how the kids felt following the instructions. Explain that sometimes it is easy to obey, especially when it is something you want to do in the first place. But at other times, obeying may not make sense, like going to bed when you're not tired or coloring a silly picture. Today we will find out why it always feel good when we obey Jesus.

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes)
"If you love me, keep my commands." John 14:15 NIV
On the board, draw a line to represent each letter of this verse. Have the kids in turn choose a letter, and if the letter is part of the verse, place it above the corresponding blank line. Letters that are called and not used can be written on the board also. The first child to correctly say the entire verse can be given a prize. (Played like the popular game "hangman").
SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes) Introduction: When you came to Sunday school class today, you colored in a picture using a guide. You were asked to follow the directions, even though they didn't make sense. But by following them, you probably didn't feel like you were disobeying. The commands that Jesus asks us to obey do make sense. Unfortunately, the devil will do his best to make us do the wrong thing anyway. He tempts us with all sorts of things. Fortunately, Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit to live in us, to teach us and guide us to do what is right. In our Bible story today, we find Jesus talking to his disciples about the Holy Spirit.
Before reading the scripture, look up the word Counselor in a Bible dictionary, or refer to the following definition:
Counselor: An adviser in any matter. The Holy Spirit is the presence of the Father within us, and therefore our Comforter who not only consoles but also strengthens, helps, and counsels, with such authority as a highly trained legal advisor has for his client.
Read John 14:15-21; 23-27 Discussion Questions: 1. If we love Jesus, what will we do? (Obey His commands.) 2. Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit a special way. What name does He give the Holy Spirit? (Counselor.) 3. In verse 21, How does Jesus show Himself to us when we obey His commands? (He shows Himself not by sight, but by the life He lives in us through the Holy Spirit.) 4. What will the Holy Spirit do in our lives? (Teach us all things and remind us of everything Jesus said.) 5. Is the peace that Jesus leaves with us different from what the world gives? (Yes) How so? (Allow for discussion.)

APPLICATION (4 minutes) So how can we obey Jesus? First of all by doing what He teaches us, through His Words in the Bible. But Jesus asked the Father to give us someone very special to help us obey. The Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, the devil would easily get us to do bad things, lie, steal, cheat, corrupt our minds. But the Holy Spirit actually shows us these things are wrong. He doesn't hit us over the head with a hammer, no, but He does give us a bad feeling when we do something bad. He also gives us a good feeling when we do what is right, even when it doesn't make sense to us at the time. Jesus calls this good feeling, love.
The Holy Spirit speaks to us through many ways. Prayer is a great way to prepare your heart to hear the Holy Spirit speak. He also speaks to us when we read the Bible, or when we listen to someone used by God to speak the truth, such as our pastor. Sometime we hear the Holy Spirit speak to us through things that happen in our life. However, we must be careful not to confuse what we think is the Holy Spirit talking when it really is not.
The best way to know for sure is to compare what we think we hear to what the Bible says. The Holy Spirit always agrees with God’s Word.
NEXT WEEK Did you know that in the Bible we are called branches? Come back next week to learn what that means.
