Luke 6 · Grade 3
The Wise Builder
Read the Story
On a Sabbath, Jesus healed a man whose right hand was withered. Some leaders were angry, because they thought healing was work. Jesus asked if it was right to do good on the Sabbath or to do harm. Then He healed the man anyway.
Jesus prayed all night on a mountain. In the morning He chose twelve apostles. Then He taught a large crowd. He said God blesses the poor and the hungry. He said to love your enemies and pray for those who mistreat you. He told them to be merciful, just as the Father is merciful. He said to stop judging others, and to give generously.
At the end, Jesus told about two builders. One dug deep and built on rock, and his house stood firm in the flood. The other built on the ground with no foundation, and his house fell. Hearing Jesus and doing what He says is like building on rock.
