When Waiting Is Hard: Practicing Patience From Jesus’ ExampleSample

Day 2 | Jesus Was Patient with His Friends
In this story, Jesus’ disciples, some of his closest friends and followers, argued with him. When this happened, Jesus didn’t lose his cool. He gently reminded them of what matters most—serving others. Jesus showed his friends patience by staying calm and not yelling or arguing. He did this even when they were not showing kindness and patience with him! What an amazing thing for Jesus to do!
Discussion Questions
- When was a time someone was patient with you?
- Who is someone you can be patient with?
- How can you be patient with them?
Prayer
Dear Jesus, thank you for being patient with us, even when we don’t get it right. Help us to be patient with our friends and family too. Amen.
Scripture
