Teaching Jesus heals a hand on the rest day

Doing good and showing kindness is always right - because God cares most about a loving heart.

  • The leaders cared about rules; Jesus cared about the hurting man. Why does God care most about loving hearts?
  • Jesus said it's always right to do good. Can you think of a good thing you could do for someone today?
  • Jesus said a good tree grows good fruit. What kind of "fruit" (words and actions) grows from a heart that loves God?
