May 16 | Move Toward the Kid Others Avoid | Devotional for Kids Carpooling with Jesus Kids Devotional
Carpooling with JesusHey Carpool Crew! In today’s episode, Pastor Justin shares one of the most powerful moments from the life of Jesus in Mark chapter 1. When everyone else avoided a man with leprosy, Jesus moved toward him with compassion, kindness, and courage.Back then, people with leprosy were completely isolated. Nobody wanted to be near them. But instead of stepping away, Jesus reached out and touched the man. He showed everyone that people matter more than popularity, fear, or fitting in.This episode encourages kids to notice the classmates who feel left out, overlooked, or ignored and challenges them to move toward others the way Jesus did.Kids will learn:Why Jesus treated people differently than the crowdWhat compassion actually looks like in everyday lifeHow to include kids who feel left out at schoolWhy kindness sometimes takes courageHow one simple conversation can change someone’s dayScripture Referenced:Mark 1:41 (CSB)Today’s challenge:Find one kid this week who normally gets overlooked and make the first move. Say hi. Invite them into a game or conversation. Open the circle instead of closing it.Special shoutout to Cammie from Riverside, California.
