Reference
- 2019 St. George and St. Reuiss’ Curriculum
- Please read Genesis 18:1-15, and give the lesson with emphasis on the points below.
PURPOSE OF THE LESSON:
To learn that the Lord is so kind and is ready to enter our lives. Let us be ready to invite Him and honour Him as the best Visitor of our life.
MEMORY VERSE:
“Sarah your wife shall have a son” Genesis 18:10
PLEASE EMPHASIZE:
- Abraham was sad because he did not have any children. He asked God to give him a son. God said to Abraham that He was going to give him children more than the number of the stars in the sky. Now, Abraham was happy because he believed that God would do what He said. Please read Genesis 15:1-7. Then He brought him outside and said: ―Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.‖ And He said to him, ―So shall your descendants be‖ (Genesis 15:5).
- Abraham became very old. Sarah, his wife, was very old too. They were too old to have a baby. But God promised that He would give them a little boy.
- Three men came to visit Abraham. When Abraham saw the three men he ran to meet them even though he was so old and the afternoon was very hot. Abraham knew that the three men had come to visit him from heaven. One of these Men was God Himself accompanied by two Angels. He asked them to come and eat with him.
- They were so kind and accepted his invitation and ate with him.
- God always keeps His promises. He told Abraham and Sarah that He would still keep His promise to give them a child even though they were very old.
- Sarah laughed because she could not believe she could have a baby.
- How do we receive our visitors? Do we share our toys with them? Do we try our best to make sure that they spend a nice time at our place?
- Tell the story of Zacchaeus when he invited Jesus to his house, (Luke 19:1-10). ―So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully‖ (Luke 19:6).
WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM THIS LESSON?
- We must be kind to our visitors and make sure they are very comfortable when they are in our home. Abraham honored his visitors and gained God‘s blessing.
- We must trust God. Whenever we ask Him something we must be patient until He gives it to us. Just as God always keeps his promises, we must also keep our promises to others.
