Jesus
Christ
Wants
Us to
Love
Everyone
Primary 3: Lesson 31
Let’s take 1 minute each to share
something you have done recently to show
kindness to someone else.
• How do you feel when you
are kind to others?
• How have Heavenly Father
& Jesus asked us to treat
others?
I’m going to draw
a large circle on
the chalkboard like
this one…
What does love
mean to you?
I’m going to write
your answers
outside of the
circle.
Now, name
people you love
and I’ll write
these names
inside the circle.
This is the Circle
of Love.
As we become
more Christ-like,
we learn to love
and serve others
better and include
more people in
our circles of love.
In this lesson we
will learn how
Jesus Christ wants
us to love
everyone.
Scripture Time!
The scriptures teach
us how we should
treat other people.
Let’s read John 13:34.
•What does this scripture
tell us to do?
•LOVE ONE ANOTHER
Jesus Wants Us to Love Everyone

It is so important that
we learn to love each
other that it is repeated
many times in the
scriptures.

Heavenly Father wants
us to love every one of
His children, just as He
wants us to love each
member of our own
families.
As I have loved you,
Love one another.
This new commandment:
Love one another.
By this shall men know
Ye are my disciples,
If ye have love
One to another.
Let’s make a list on the
chalkboard:
1. What did Jesus do to
show His love for us?
2. In what ways can we show
love for others by following Jesus’
example & doing what he taught
us to do?
The Scriptures Help Us Know
How Much We Mean to Jesus

When Jesus visited the
Nephites in America, they
were excited and honored
to be in His presence.

They loved to be near
Him and hear His
teachings.

Let’s read the story when
Christ blessed the Nephite
children.
After much destruction in the land, many
Nephites gathered at the temple in
Bountiful.
While they
were
talking, they
heard
a quiet voice
from
heaven. It
made
their hearts
burn.
The voice they
heard was
Heavenly Father’s.
It introduced
Jesus Christ
and told the
people to
listen to Him.
Jesus Christ came down from heaven and
stood among the people.
They were afraid to
speak because they
did not understand
what was happening.
They thought Jesus
was an angel. He told
them he was Jesus
Christ, the one the
prophets had said
would come.
Jesus Christ told
the Nephites to
bring their little
children to him.
The children sat
on the ground
near Jesus.
The Savior told
the people to
kneel down. Then
He knelt and
prayed to
Heavenly Father.
After His prayer,
Jesus said the
Nephites would
be blessed
because of their
faith.
He felt so much
love and
happiness that
He wept.
Then He took the children and blessed each one. He
prayed to Heavenly Father for them and wept again.
Jesus told the
Nephites
to look at their
children.
As the people watched,
angels came down from
heaven and encircled the
children. The children and
the angels were
surrounded by fire.
•How do you think the
little girl in this
picture felt?
•If you were in the group
of children with Jesus,
how would you feel if
Jesus placed His hands
on your head?
I think when I read that sweet story of old,
When Jesus was here among men,
How He called little children like lambs to
His fold
I should like to have been with Him then.
I wish that His hands had been placed on my
head,
That His arms had been thrown around me,
That I might have seen His kind look when
He said,
“Let the little ones come unto me.”

Do any of you have
an experience you
can share when you
have been included
in someone’s circle
of love, or when you
have included
someone else in
your circle of love?
I need 4 volunteers to
tell / act out what they
would do in the following
scenarios.
Volunteer # 1. You are building
a birdhouse in your back yard
with your friends. Your little
brother comes up and asks if he
can help.
What could you do to make your brother feel good about himself?
How would you feel if you were the little brother and your big
brother let you help?
Volunteer # 2. Your Primary class is
planning a service project. Everyone is giving
his / her ideas except Heather. She is shy &
doesn’t say much. Suddenly Heather starts
to speak, but she is interrupted by someone
else and stops talking.
What could you do to show that you care about Heather & want
to make her feel important?
How would you feel if you were Heather & someone showed you
that they cared?
Volunteer #3. You are playing outside at
school, and you see some children telling
another child not to play in their game.
They are mean to that child.
What would you do to show that child that he / she is important?
How would you feel if someone asked you to play when the other
children hadn’t let you play?
Volunteer #4. There is a new boy in your
Primary class, and some of the boys are
teasing him because he acts differently than
other members of the class.
What would you do to make the new boy feel accepted?
How would you feel if you were new at church and someone
took the time to talk to you and make you feel welcome?
I want you to know that
Heavenly Father
& Jesus love each
one of us; they
want us to love &
help others, too.
Each of us is included
in Heavenly Father’s circle
of love.
