Opening Activity

• Have a picture of parents.
• Can anyone guess who are in this picture? It is my parents. I love my parents very much and I know that they like to hear me say, “Mom and dad I love you!” Do you think your parents like to hear you tell her that you love them? Of course they do! But do you know what your parents like even more? They like for you to show them that you love them.

• Do you love Jesus? I’m sure you do. Do you think Jesus likes to hear you say, “I love you?” I know He does. But he likes it even better when you show Him that you love Him. How do you do that? He told us how. He said, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teachings.” The Bible is full of things that Jesus taught us. You show him that you love him by obeying his teaching.
