Bible Lesson Activities About Being a Neighbor

Rather than answering his question directly, Jesus told the parable of the good Samaritan, which highlighted the importance of being a neighbor to everyone. These Bible lesson activities underscore the importance of being a neighbor in the biblical sense of the word. Even young children can understand this concept.
