Hello! I will read the story to you.

Voices come from your device. If one sounds odd, choose another.

Jesus loved everyone. He welcomed little children, He helped people who were sick, and He shared food with people who were hungry.

Jesus told His friends: “Love one another as I have loved you.” That is His special commandment for us.

Jesus also said that whatever we do for other people, we do for Him. When you help a friend, it is like helping Jesus!

Here are some ways to be kind like Jesus:

  • Share your toys and snacks.
  • Use kind words, like “please” and “thank you.”
  • Help at home without being asked.
  • Invite someone who is alone to play.
  • Say sorry when you are wrong, and forgive others.
