Luke 12 · Grade 5

Seek His Kingdom

Name Date

Read and Think

Jesus spoke to His disciples while thousands crowded around. He warned them to beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. He told them not to fear those who can only harm the body, but to fear God, who has all authority. Yet the same God cares for sparrows and knows every hair on their heads. When they are brought before rulers, the Holy Spirit will teach them what to say.

A man wanted Jesus to divide an inheritance, but Jesus saw greed in his heart. He told of a rich man who planned to build bigger barns and take life easy. God said, You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. Life does not consist in the abundance of the things a person owns. To be rich toward God is to trust Him and use what we have for His purposes.

Jesus told His disciples not to be anxious about food or clothing. The ravens do not sow or reap, yet God feeds them. The lilies do not work, yet Solomon was not dressed like one of them. Seek God's Kingdom, and these things will be added to you. Jesus also urged them to be faithful and ready. The master will return at an unexpected hour, and the servant he finds faithful will be blessed.
