Friendship Lessons (Good Samaritan)

Categories: Jesus (Parables)

True Friendship (link to Hot Topic), examines how to improve our friendships with others.

After reading the article on True Friendship discuss the following questions:

• Ask your pupils to retell the parable of The Good Samaritan in modern terms.  Who might be the Levite today? The Priest? The Samaritan? The one in need? 
• Answer the questions Jesus asked:
• Who is my neighbor?
• How can I act neighborly or be a neighbor or friend?
• Read the last paragraph from the article and answer:
• How do we love ourselves?
• Strangers?
• Friends?
• And those who make life difficult for us?
• How can love transform our lives?
