Kindness
Kindness means treating others with love and care, just like Jesus treats us! When we are kind, we show God's love to everyone around us.
"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."
— Ephesians 4:32
Bible Story: The Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25-37
Jesus told a story about a man who was hurt on the road. Many people passed by without helping, but one kind man stopped to help him. He bandaged his wounds, took him to an inn, and paid for his care. Jesus said we should be kind like this man, helping anyone who needs us.
