Reflect

In this episode, Liz and his friends wait for Scooter to be rescued. They remember times when they were mean to Scooter and decide to be nicer to him when he is found.

Grace is giving someone something they don’t deserve. When we trust Jesus Christ, he gives us salvation even though we deserve punishment. That’s grace. Ephesians 4:32 says that we should forgive others in the same way Christ forgives us. We should remember that we are sinners who needed to be forgiven and we should treat others the same way. That’s how we can be patient and bear with others, even when they do us wrong.

Want to dig deeper into God's patience and love for us? Check out Lamentations 3:22; Romans 5:6-10; Hebrews 4:16.

Challenge

Use the divided paper you made for the last episode, or make a new one using the directions below.

[Divide a piece of paper into thirds. Label one section "Iron", one "Silver", and one "Golden". Choose one of these scenarios, or think of one you have seen or experienced.

  • Someone dropped your books and papers in the middle of a crowded hallway.
  • Someone is carrying a lot of stuff and needs someone to open a door.
  • Someone needs a little extra money to buy something.
  • Someone makes fun of a friend's outfit.

Draw or write three possibilities for how to respond. Iron is unkind. Silver is nice, but not the best. Golden is how you would want to be treated.]

Last time you focused on the Golden option. This time, look at the Iron. Have you treated someone this way? Are you able to give them an apology? Confess your sin to God. Look at the other options on your paper to see how to be better next time. Keep that paper for one more episode!
