Children: Do I help or do I keep people away from Jesus? Evangelio: Marcos 9:38-43, 45, 47-48 (Hemos Visto) Adultos: Cuáles son los tres valores que me motivan a diario? Por qué? Niños: Ayudo a los demás a que conozcan a Jesucristo o soy un obstáculo para ello? Remembering that we will be judged by what we do for the least among us, let us give generously and joyfully to support all those in need. Anyone who gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, Amen, I say to you, will surely not lose his reward Mark 9:41 Does your life reflect the life of Jesus? Remember, we were made in His image. We tend to forget this. When others see you, do they see the face of Jesus? When you look at others, do you see the face of Jesus in them? Cualquiera que les de un vaso de agua para beber porque pertenecen a Cristo, les aseguro que no perderá su recompensa Marcos 9:41 Tu vida refleja la vida de Jesús? Recuerde, fuimos hechos a Su imagen. Tendemos a olvidar esto. Cuando los demás te ven, ven el rostro de Jesús? Cuando miras a los demás, ves el rostro de Jesús en ellos? Para que recordemos que seremos juzgados por lo que hagamos por los que menos tienen entre nosotros, que demos generosa y alegremente para apoyar a todos los necesitados.
