Matthew 7 · Grade 3
Hear and Do
Read the Story
Jesus said not to judge others unfairly. First take the log out of your own eye, then you can help your friend with the speck in his eye. In other words, deal with your own sin first.
Jesus said, "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you." If parents give good gifts to their children, how much more will our Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Jesus also gave the Golden Rule: treat others the way you want them to treat you.
Jesus ended His sermon with a story. A wise man built his house on the rock, and it stood strong in the storm. A foolish man built on sand, and his house fell. Anyone who hears Jesus' words and does them is like the wise man. The crowds were amazed at His teaching.
