Beatitudes Sunday School Lesson for Kids -
Blessed are the Meek
Use this
children’s Sunday School lesson about the third Beatitude to teach kids to be
humble in Christ.
Needed: Bibles, soft balls or paper wads
Intro Game: Catch It!
Divide students into two teams for a game of dodgeball. You can use soft balls or paper wads. One team can only play defense, and the other can only play offense.
Team A throws the balls to get Team B out. Team B can only catch the
balls to get Team A out. After Team B catches a ball, they roll it back to Team A.
See which team wins. Then, switch roles.
Afterward, explain that the team who was only defending was being
“meek” because they didn’t try to throw balls at the other team.
Lesson
Brag about everything you can for a few moments.
Ask, How did you like it when I was doing all that bragging?
Have you ever known someone who bragged all the time?
Do you think God wants us to brag?
(Read Matthew 5:5.)
What does it mean to be “meek”?
To be meek means to be humble, to not brag, to not fight with other
people. Jesus says that if we will be
like that, if we will be meek, He will
give us the earth, the whole world, when He comes back.
Why do you think God doesn’t want us to brag?
Bragging makes other people feel bad. Also, we shouldn’t be making
ourselves sound great. We should be making God sound great. The Bible says that
if we want to brag, we should brag about how good God is.
Jesus Himself was meek when the people put Him to death. He didn’t
fight back when the guards arrested Him. He didn’t argue or fight when He was
on trial. He didn’t even say something mean
when they beat Him and hung Him on the cross.
Jesus was meek and God raised Him
from the dead. If we will be meek, Jesus
will come back and will give us control of the Earth.
