MAN IN GOD'S CREATION

Lesson Thirteen

SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES IN PEOPLE (2)

Burden to Impart:

In this lesson we see that God made each of us with special differences, such as our appearance, fingerprints, likes and dislikes, ways of acting, activities, languages, and customs. Although we are all different from one another in so many ways, yet we are all made by God and are equally precious to Him. Therefore we should love and respect all of our fellow men.

Memory Verse: "...You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39).
Facts to Teach:


  1. How am I different from others?
    1. Appearance: height, face, coloring, hair, eyes, etc.
    2. Fingerprints: everyone has different fingerprints.
    3. Likes and dislikes: food, drinks, pets, etc.
    4. Activities: physical (games, strength, etc.) and mental (school work, reading, etc.)
    5. Languages
    6. Customs: food, clothing, housing, etc.

Practical application:

Although we are all different from one another, yet the Lord made us all and cares for all of us. We are all precious to Him, so we should all love and respect one another.
