Little Shepherd edition—short, big eyes, no sermon pressure.
Treat others the way you want to be treated
Jesus said it plain. Grown-ups can sit longer in the Golden Rule Life Lesson.
Read-aloud
Sometimes a brother grabs your toy. Sometimes you want to grab back. Jesus gives a different kind of strong—the kind that asks, “What would I want someone to do to me?”
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:12 (KJV)
That is the Golden Rule. It is not easy. It is good. God helps us try again.
Gentle question
If someone did to you what you just did (or wanted to do), would it feel kind or sharp?
Short prayer together
Jesus, help us treat others the way we want to be treated. When we forget, pull us back to Your words. Amen.
