When Waiting Is Hard: Practicing Patience From Jesus’ ExampleSample

Day 4 | Jesus Was Patient with People Who Didn’t Believe
Three days after Jesus died, something amazing happened....he came back to life! While some people were celebrating this amazing news, others didn’t believe it. Jesus’ friend, Thomas, was one of them. Instead of getting mad that Thomas didn’t believe him, Jesus showed him love and patience. Even when we don’t believe Jesus, he still loves us and shows us patience. This means we can show love and patience to those that don’t know Jesus yet.
Discussion Questions
- How does it feel when someone doesn’t believe you?
- How did Jesus act when his friend didn’t believe him?
- What can you do to show someone patience when they don’t believe something you say or do?
Prayer
Dear God, thank you for being patient with us when we have doubts or questions. Help us to trust you more and be patient with others who are still learning. Amen.
Scripture
