4 Let s play a little game. We are going to say the words to the following song, Do as I m Doing As we say these words, I want you to do whatever I do, OK?

5 DO AS I'M DOING Do as I'm doing; Follow, follow me! Do as I'm doing; Follow, follow me! If I do it high or low, If I do it fast or slow, Do as I'm doing; Follow, follow me! Do as I'm doing; Follow, follow me! Words: Anon. Music: Folk style (c) 1963 by D. C. Heath and Company.

6 Let s try that again, only this time let s sing the song at the same time you do the actions I do.

7 DO AS I'M DOING Do as I'm doing; Follow, follow me! Do as I'm doing; Follow, follow me! If I do it high or low, If I do it fast or slow, Do as I'm doing; Follow, follow me! Do as I'm doing; Follow, follow me! Words: Anon. Music: Folk style (c) 1963 by D. C. Heath and Company.

8 When you did the same actions I did, you were following my example. When we follow someone s example, we do what they do. Jesus said, Follow me (see Matthew 4:19).

9 One of the reasons Jesus came to earth was to be an example for us and show us how to live. Jesus was perfect.

10 That means he did everything the right way. The way he lived when he was on the earth is the way we should try to live.

11 Listen as we read from the Bible. In John 13:15 it reads: 15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

12 These are Jesus words. We want to be like Jesus and follow his example. Let s sing about it.

13 I'M TRYING TO BE LIKE JESUS 1. I'm trying to be like Jesus; I'm following in his ways. I'm trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say. At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice, But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers, Chorus "Love one another as Jesus loves you. Try to show kindness in all that you do. Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought, For these are the things Jesus taught."

14 I'M TRYING TO BE LIKE JESUS 2. I'm trying to love my neighbor; I'm learning to serve my friends. I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again. I try to remember the lessons he taught. Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying: Chorus "Love one another as Jesus loves you. Try to show kindness in all that you do. Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought, For these are the things Jesus taught." Words and music: Janice Kapp Perry, b (c) 1980 by Janice Kapp Perry.

15 What kinds of things should we do if we are trying to be like Jesus?

16 Let s listen to a story about Zaccheus, the tax collector.

37 How was Jesus kind to Zaccheus? (See Luke 19:5.) How do you think Zaccheus felt when Jesus was kind to him?

38 Let s all sing Jesus said Love Everyone Follow the actions as we sing. (Actions are in blue)

39 JESUS SAID LOVE EVERYONE Jesus said love ev'ryone; (spread arms out wide) Treat them kindly, too. (Nod head up and down) When your heart is filled with love, (put hands over heart) Others will love you. (hug self) Words and music: Moiselle Renstrom,

40 Let s listen to the story of how Jesus prayed for the Nephite children.

41 Go to Video Go to Slides Continue

42 The Savior s prayer was so marvelous that it could not be written. It filled the Nephites with joy.

43 The Savior told the people to kneel down. Then he knelt and prayed to Heavenly Father.

44 Jesus Christ told the Nephites to bring their little children to him. The children sat on the ground near Jesus.

45 After his prayer Jesus said the Nephites would be blessed because of their faith.

46 He felt so much love and happiness that he wept.

47 Then he took the children and blessed each one. He prayed to Heavenly Father for them and wept again.

48 Jesus told the Nephites to look at their children.

49 As the people watched, angels came down from heaven and encircled the children. The children and the angels were surrounded by fire.

50 Jesus showed by his example that we should pray for others.

51 Whom did Jesus pray for? (See 3 Nephi 17:21.)

52 How do you think the children felt when Jesus prayed for them?

53 Whom can we pray for?

54 People who are sick. Family Members. Who are some people we can pray for? Church Leaders President Thomas S. Monson Missionaries Meet these Missionaries

55 Can you remember the stories we heard in todays lessons?

56 When you show love for others by being kind and by praying for them, you are following the example of Jesus. You are also setting a good example for other people.

57 Let s try singing another songs with you following my actions.

58 I'M TRYING TO BE LIKE JESUS 1. I'm trying to be like Jesus; I'm following in his ways. I'm trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say. At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice, But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers, Chorus "Love one another as Jesus loves you. (hug self) Try to show kindness in all that you do. (shake another person s hand). Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought, (pretend one hand is an animal s head and pet it with the other hand), For these are the things Jesus taught."(hold hands together, palms up, like a book of scripture).

59 I'M TRYING TO BE LIKE JESUS 2. I'm trying to love my neighbor; I'm learning to serve my friends. I watch for the day of gladness when Jesus will come again. I try to remember the lessons he taught. Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying: Chorus "Love one another as Jesus loves you. (hug self) Try to show kindness in all that you do. (shake another person s hand). Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought, (pretend one hand is an animal s head and pet it with the other hand), For these are the things Jesus taught."(hold hands together, palms up, like a book of scripture). Words and music: Janice Kapp Perry, b (c) 1980 by Janice Kapp Perry.

60 Just as you follow the example of Jesus, other people watch you and follow your examples.

61 We need a volunteer to be... THE LEADER

62 There are more important ways to be an example than by how we move our bodies. You can be good examples by doing good things, such as telling the truth, obeying their mothers and fathers, sharing your toys, being reverent at church, and helping your families.
