Are you a Mary or a Martha, when it comes to being Jesus' friend? Today 2/8/26 in ViP Kidz, we learned that Jesus wants to be our friend! He says Mary chose the best thing - spending time with him. The more we get to know Jesus, we know what he wants for us, how much he loves us, and what his purpose is for us.
Bible Reading: Luke 10:38-42
Main Point: Jesus wants to be our friend
Memory Verse: Isaiah 43:1
Jesus visits his friends Mary & Martha. Martha gets upset because she's doing all the cooking while Mary just sits and talks to Jesus. Jesus says it's most important to spend time with him. That's because he want to be our friend.
Why it matters: Some kids might not feel like they have enough friends. They might feel lonely or unpopular. Help them see that no matter what their social status is, Jesus wants to be their friend!
Think about: What do you like in a friend? How does Jesus show those qualities?
Pray: Especially for kids who are struggling with friendships. Help them truly understand that there is someone who wants to be their friend - JESUS!
