Holy Week: Wednesday

Wednesday Scripture:
Matthew 25:31-46 (the sheep and the goats)
 
  • Tell the story: Jesus taught on the Mount of Olives. He told a story to help the people understand what’s important to God - how to live inside the blessing. He tells them that whatever they do for other human beings, it’s like they’re doing it for him.
    • Read Matthew 25:31-46
    • Read pages 258 in the Shine On story Bible.
  • Prime the pump:
    • Things to notice:
      • Jesus gives some concrete examples of what it means to live inside the blessing here. List them out.
    • Background information:
      • The people listening to Jesus would have heard all kinds of scripture references as he told this story! Look at Isaiah 66:18, Ezekiel 34:17 and Micah 4:3 to get an idea of what would have popped into their heads.
    • Conversation starters:
      • There’s a lot of imagery in this story! See what sort of pictures it brings to mind.
  • Activity prompt:
    • Open your eyes to Jesus around you. Feed, clothe, visit, or welcome someone.
