Presentation of the lesson

Through a discussion with the children about their family, introduce the concept of holiness. Based on the story of the prodigal son, highlight the consequences of disobedience. Similarly the disobedience of Adam and Eve can be explained. On the other hand Jesus was obedient to his parents and helped them. He grew up in the likeness of both God and man. Jesus also likes us when we obey our parents. After writing ‘I will obey’, ask the children to suggest whom all they will obey. Discuss with children instances where they can help those at home and outside and make note of it on a board or a chart paper.
