THE PERSON AND LIFE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

Character Lesson Eight

LOWLY

Definition:

 

A lowly person is not proud and does not boast about himself.

Examples and/or Questions to Ask the Children:

1. Show the picture from the Children's Character Book under "LOWLY* (Living Stream Ministry, P.O Box 2121, Anaheim, CA 92814).

2. At school, if you earn the best grade, you should not boast about it, instead you should offer to help your classmates, not in a proud way.

3. Tell the story of the Lord Jesus in Luke 19:29-48. He rode on a donkey instead of on a white horse. Tell the difference between a donkey and a horse and ask the children why the Lord Jesus rode on a donkey.

Verse:

"When pride cometh then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom," Proverbs 11:2

Craft Ideas:

Have the children make "pop-up" cards with the picture from "LOWLY" (reduced in size from the Children's Character Book by Living Stream Ministry) pasted or glued inside the card. See the attached sheet for instructions.
