介绍
在本课中，孩子们将学习如何以更全面的方式将耶稣放在首位——用他们的生命。将耶稣放在一切之上，是神所喜悦的事情。
主题
行为、选择、跟随耶稣、敬虔、讨神喜悦
等孩子(10分钟)
孩子们到达时，给他们活动中的第四组图片（“用我们的生命将耶稣放在首位”）。
如果不用布告栏，孩子们仍可以涂色，并将图片张贴在墙上。每组图片帮助孩子们理解：当有人将耶稣放在首位时，生活是什么样子；以及当有人没有将耶稣放在首位时的对比。此外，还有预先上好色的图片可供选择。
开头的祷告(5分钟)
参见：开头的祷告
经节(7分钟)
你们要穿上怜恤的心肠、恩慈、卑微、温柔、恒忍。-歌罗西书 3:12
这节经文提醒孩子们，当我们在生活中将耶稣放在首位时，我们就能够展现出神希望我们拥有的品格。
向孩子们解释怜恤的心肠、恩慈、卑微、温柔、恒忍在一个敬虔的人身上的表现。
如果班级年龄适合，邀请5名孩子排成一排。让每个孩子记住一种品格，轮到他们时大声说出来。开始时先说“你们要穿上……”，然后第一个孩子喊“怜恤的心肠！”，接着下一个孩子喊“恩慈！”，依次类推，直到全部词语都喊出来。看看他们能多快完成这个记忆经文的活动。
故事(15分钟)
围坐在孩子们身边准备讲故事。介绍后，用儿童版本的故事讲述，或直接从圣经中朗读故事。
让孩子们围坐在你周围，准备进入故事时间。在引言后，先从圣经中朗读诗篇 103:8-12，然后朗读儿童故事《彰显神的爱》。故事讲述了一个小女孩发现，要真正爱别人，她必须学会在生活中将耶稣放在首位。读完故事后，进行讨论问题环节。
引言：
要了解在生活中将耶稣放在首位意味着什么，最好的方法就是读耶稣的故事，以及祂是如何如此关爱我们的。我们来读一段短短的诗篇，听听主是如何以慈爱和怜悯待我们的。同样，我们也可以以这样的方式对待他人。
读诗篇 103:8-12：
耶和华有怜恤，有恩典，不轻易发怒，且有丰盛的慈爱。
祂不长久责备，也不永远怀怒。
祂没有按我们的罪过对待我们，也没有照我们的罪孽报应我们。
天离地何等的高，祂的慈爱向敬畏祂的人，也是何等的大。
东离西有多远，祂叫我们的过犯，离我们也有多远。
讨论问题：
玛格丽特的母亲注意到她的朋友莎拉有什么特点？（她是一个非常有爱心的女孩）
莎拉做了什么让玛格丽特感受到被爱？（她牵着玛格丽特的手一起走去上学。她们一起读书、谈论神）
尽管莎拉有身体缺陷，她嘲笑过玛格丽特吗？（没有）
莎拉通过她的行动向我们展示了什么？（她向我们展示了如何在力所能及的情况下爱护和帮助朋友）
莎拉是否表现出了怜恤的心肠、恩慈、卑微、温柔、恒忍？（是的）
你想要像莎拉这样的朋友吗？（是的）
莎拉是因为被要求才去爱玛格丽特，还是因为她知道神希望她这样做？（她知道神希望她这样做）
趣味时间(10分钟)
结尾的祷告/点心时间(10分钟)
参见：结尾的祷告
提供果冻夹心零食，例如 Gushers®。当孩子们吃这些零食时，夹心可能会让他们感到意外。提醒他们，这种夹心很像我们的生活。我们的言语、行为和思想都来自内心。然而，有时从我们内心流露出的东西可能并不“美味”。当我们说、做或想到不好的事情时，可能会让别人感到意外甚至受到伤害。将耶稣放在首位，我们的生命就会充满五样美好的品格 - 怜恤的心肠、恩慈、卑微、温柔、恒忍
结束时的活动(5-10分钟)

PUTTING JESUS FIRST
LESSON 4: With Our Lives
In this lesson, children learn how to put Jesus first in a more general way; with their lives. Putting Jesus first in everything is very pleasing to God.
TOPICS
Behavior, Choices, Following Jesus, Godliness, Pleasing God
AS KIDS ARRIVE (10 minutes)
Putting Jesus First (Bulletin Board/Coloring Activity) Click here
As the children arrive, give them the fourth picture pair found in the bulletin board/coloring activity (Putting Jesus First with our Life).
If you are not using the actual bulletin board idea, the children can still color the pictures, and you can post them on the wall. Each picture pair will help the children see what it looks like when someone is putting Jesus first, and what it looks like when someone is not putting Jesus first. Optional pre-colored pictures are also available.

BIBLE VERSE (7 minutes)
“Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience." Colossians 3:12b NIV
This verse reminds children that when we put Jesus first in our lives, we are then able to show the characters that He wants us to have.
Explain to the children what compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience look like in a person of God.
Then, if appropriate for the age of your class, ask for 5 volunteers to stand in a line. Give each child one of the characteristics (words) to say when it is her or his turn. Start by saying "Clothe yourselves with..." then have the first child shout out, "Compassion!" The next child should follow immediately with, “Kindness!” Have the kids follow suit until all five words have been shouted. See how fast they can complete the memory verse in this way.
BIBLE STORY (15 minutes)
Gather the children around you in preparation for story time. After the introduction, first read Psalm 103:8-12 from the Bible. Then, read the children's story, Showing God's Love, which is about a little girl who discovered that to truly love someone, she must learn how to put Jesus first in her life. After ready the story, go to the discussion questions.
Introduction:
The best way to find out what it means to put Jesus first in our lives, is by reading about Jesus, and how He cares so much for us. Let's read one short passage from the book of Psalms. As we read, listen to all of the ways our Lord shows kindness and love for us. In the same way, we can show the same for others.
Read Psalm 103:8-12
(Repeated below from the New International Reader's Version.)
"The Lord is tender and kind.
He is gracious.
He is slow to get angry.
He is full of love.
He won't keep bringing charges against us.
He won't stay angry with us forever.
He doesn't punish us for our sins as much
as we should be punished.
He doesn't pay us back
in keeping with the evil things we've done.
His love for those who have respect for him
is as high as the heavens are above the earth.
He has removed our lawless acts from us
as far as the east is from the west."
Psalm 103:8-12

Discussion Questions:
1. What did Margaret’s mother notice about her friend Sarah? (She was a very loving girl.)
2. What did Sarah do to make Margaret feel loved? (She held her hand as they walked to school. They read books together and they talked about God.)
3. In spite of having a handicap, did Sarah make fun of Margaret? (No.)
4. What does Sarah show us with her actions? (She shows us how to love and help her friends when she is able.)
5. Did Sarah show compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience? (Yes.)
6. Would you like to have a friend like Sarah? (Yes.)
7. Did Sarah show love to Margaret because she was told to, or because she knew God would want her to do so? (She knew God wanted her to show love.)
FUN TIME (10 minutes)
Ways We Care (Activity) Click here
PRAYER/SNACK (10 minutes)
Further info? Click here
Have ready a sweet treat of fruit snacks with filling, similar to Gushers®. As the children eat them, they will bite into the filling and it might catch them off guard. Remind them that the filling is very similar to our life. Our words, our actions, and our thoughts come from inside us. But unlike the fruit snacks, sometimes what comes out of us doesn't taste very good. When we say, do, or think mean things, it may catch others off guard causing distress or even hurt feelings. When we put Jesus first, our lives will be full of five good things. Do you remember the five words we learned earlier? compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience
