While most of you teachers know this, it never hurts to emphasize that “becoming like a little child,” (Matt 18:3) pictures the new birth of a believer in Jesus, the Christ. Such a person is “born of the Spirit” and is totally dependent on the Lord for salvation. This is contrary to any religious system that promotes a way to heaven by “being good,” or performing works of righteousness. A wrong motive for caring (the topic of this week’s lesson “A Caring Community”) is to believe that acts of caring will merit salvation.
Never underestimate the power of influence you have on those around you. Consider using a quote about influence to help you introduce Step 2 of the lesson.
