Helping Like Jesus

Jesus Was Patient

One night a man named Nicodemus talked to Jesus. Nicodemus had some questions. Jesus was patient while he asked his questions. When Nicodemus didn’t understand, Jesus explained again.

You can read this story in John 3:1–21.

I Can Be Patient with Others

• Who can you be more patient with?

• Say a prayer and make a plan to help them.

• Do your plan!

• Cut out this card to remind you to keep helping like Jesus.

I work hard to be a good friend and be kind to everybody, especially those that seem lonely or are being treated differently just because they look or act a little different. I want them to know that they are loved and that they have a friend in me who cares for and respects them.
