When Jesus was here on earth, he was a perfect man and a master teacher. The people loved to hear him speak because he taught the pure word of God with knowledge and authority. (see Matthew 7:29)
Jesus was an example of complete respect and obedience to God - one we should try to copy. He never took credit for himself, but instead always gave the glory and honor to God. In Matthew, he told the people, “…let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” (Matthew 5:16, NLT)
How can WE give glory to God? We can be thankful for what he has provided, recognizing His mercy and generosity. And, when we do good deeds, we can give all the credit to God, for giving us the time, talent and ability to do them!

How can WE show love for our neighbor? We can share toys or snacks with classmates, or look for ways to be helpful to our parents and teachers.
