Day 3 | Jesus Was Patient with People Who Were Different Than Him

In the book of John, we hear a story about Jesus and a woman at a water well. The woman at the well was a Samaritan, a person that was different than Jesus. Many people did not like or talk to Samaritans. Instead of ignoring the woman, Jesus talked to her and asked her to help him get a drink. Even when she told him who she was, he continued to talk to her and share how much God loves her! It changed her life, and she trusted him!

Whether it is a new kid at school, someone not following the rules in a game, or a person waiting impatiently in a line, we need to be patient with people who aren’t like us. This story tells us that we can go to Jesus, and he can help us to be patient with others, no matter who they are!

Discussion Questions

  • Is there someone you know that it is hard to be patient with?
  • What is one way you can show patience with this person?
  • How do you think having patience with someone different than you will make them feel?

Prayer

Dear Jesus, help us be more like you. Show us how to stop, listen, and care for others with patience and kindness. Amen.
