Kid's Devotion - Being Kind to Your Enemies

1. Watch the above video
2. Doug Trivia - What troop number does Doug belong to?
3. In what ways was Roger mean to Doug?
4. How could Doug have gotten even?
5. Has anyone ever been mean to you or bullied you?
6. Have you gotten even with them?
7. Read Luke 6:27-38  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke%206:27-38&version=NIV1984  How does Jesus say we should treat bullies?
8. Did it change Roger?

Note to parents;
          In this episode, Doug is bullied by Roger. This is a reality with kids growing up; they will be bullied especially as Christians - the Devil will see to that. (See the preceeding verses 22,23) How are they/we to respond? We are to kill them with kindness. How can we possibly do that? On our own, we can't, but remind them, if they have asked Jesus into their hearts He will give them the ability to do it because He was able. Talk with them about mean kids at school and what they can do to be nice to them. Discuss why these kids might be mean and teach them to sympathize and pray for them. Also tell them that just like Roger they may not change but God is possibly more interested in us changing than them.
