背经节(12分钟)
爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒；爱是不自夸，不张狂，不作不合宜的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒，不计算人的恶，不因不义而欢乐，却与真理同欢乐；凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。-哥林多前书13:4-7
继续背整段经文。从第一节开始的孩子现在应该集中精力背13:5。
故事与讨论(15分钟)
引言：
(先给孩子们读路加福音6章27-36节，并向孩子们解释，耶稣如何明确指出我们应该爱别人，即使是那些不爱我们的人。）
有一个广为流传的圣经故事，说明爱是仁慈善良，即使是对仇敌。在这个故事中，犹太人有一个仇敌，离他们很近，称为撒玛利亚人。当犹太人出门远行时，他们会尽量对撒玛利亚人居住的地方绕道而行。现在，让我们都在圣经中找到这个故事。
路加福音10:25-37（好撒玛利亚人的比喻）
让孩子们读这个故事。可以在房间里转一圈，让每个孩子读一两节。还可以把基督的话语分配给声音有命令感的人。
问题讨论：
1. 那个去耶利哥的人发生了什么事？ （他被抢劫并被殴打得几乎死）
2. 当祭司和利未人看到受伤的人躺在路上时，他们有什么反应？(他们在路的另一边与他擦肩而过）
3. 最后是谁提供了帮助？(一个撒玛利亚人）
4. 撒玛利亚人为这个受伤的人做了什么？ (为他清理伤口，把他带到一家旅馆，然后给了钱照顾他）
5. 这个故事中，谁表现了爱和善意，是亲人还是仇敌？(仇敌)
6. 撒玛利亚人对自己的仁慈善意期望得到什么回报？(没有什么)
7. 爱那些爱我们的人就够了吗？为什么？（不，耶稣命令我们向所有人表达爱）
8. 为什么耶稣选择一个与犹太人为敌的撒玛利亚人作为示好的例子？(为了表明真正的爱是没有界限的，无论是民族、种族、地域还是宗教）
课堂活动(20分钟)
备选-课堂活动(10分钟)
应用(4分钟)
我们知道彼此相爱和善待是很重要的。但今天我们知道，耶稣希望我们甚至爱我们的仇敌。这需要一种非常强大的爱，这种爱只能来自于耶稣。但是谁是我们的仇敌呢？可以是任何与我们想法不同的人，与我们意见相左的人，或对我们不好的人。可以是一个邻居，一个同学，一个亲戚，甚至一个朋友。但是，如果我们对他们仁慈和爱护，谁知道呢，也许我们就把他们引向耶稣。而耶稣爱每一个人，甚至那些把祂置于十字架上的人。如果耶稣能爱那些置祂于死地的人，我们当然也能爱那些仅仅是看不起我们的人。
下节课
你会不会对那些让你生气的人做一些特别好的事。下周再来看看你是否应该这样做。

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes) "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV
Continue memorizing the entire passage. Kids who started with the first verse should now concentrate on memorizing verse 5.
SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes) Introduction: (First read to the children Luke 6: 27-36, and explain to the kids how Jesus was very clear that we should love others, even those who don't love us.)
There is a popular Bible story that illustrates that LOVE IS KIND, even to an enemy. In this story, the Jews had an enemy that lived very near to them. They were called Samaritans. When they traveled, Jewish people would do their best to walk around the land where the Samaritans lived. Let's all find this story in our Bibles.
Luke 10:25-37 (The Parable of the Good Samaritan) Have the children read this story. A suggestion may be to go around the room and have each child read one or two verses. Or you may want to assign the words of Christ to someone who has a commanding voice.
Discussion Questions: 1. What happened to the man who was traveling to Jericho? (He was robbed and beaten nearly to death.) 2. How did the priest and Levite react when they saw the wounded man lying on the road? (They passed him by on the other side of the road.) 3. Who finally offered help? (A Samaritan) 4. What did the Samaritan do for the wounded man? (Cleaned him up and took him to an inn, then gave money for his care.) 5. Who showed love and kindness in this story, a relative or an enemy? (An enemy) 6. What did the Samaritan expect in return for his kindness? (Nothing) 7. Is it enough to love those who love us? Why? (No, Jesus commands us to show love to everyone.) 8. Why did Jesus choose a Samaritan, an enemy of the Jewish people to be the one to show kindness? (To show that true love does not have boundaries, neither ethnic, racial, geographical nor religious.)

APPLICATION (4 minutes)
We know it is important to love and be kind to each other. But today we learned that Jesus wants us to love even our enemies. That takes a very powerful kind of love that can only come from Jesus. But who is our enemy? It can be anyone who thinks differently from us, who disagrees with us, or who treats us badly. It can be a neighbor, a school mate, a relative, or even a friend. But if we are kind and loving to them, who knows, we may draw them to Jesus. And Jesus loves everyone, even those who put Him to death on a cross. If Jesus can love people who put Him to death, surely we can love those who simply look down on us.
