🚗 Welcome back to Carpooling with Jesus! 🎉 Today, we wrap up the Be Attitudes from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount with a powerful lesson from Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.” Have you ever been left out or made fun of for doing the right thing? Maybe you stood up for someone or chose kindness over being mean. It can feel lonely, but Jesus says you are blessed in those moments. Why? Because when you face challenges for doing what’s right, you’re living just like Jesus did, and you’re showing that you’re part of God’s family. 💡 Key Takeaways for Kids and Parents: Persecution happens when people are unkind to you for doing what’s right or following Jesus. Jesus promises that those who face this are blessed and belong to the kingdom of heaven. In tough times, we can remember Jesus’ example, stay kind, and trust that we are part of something bigger—God’s amazing kingdom. 🗣 Car Ride Question: Why do you think Jesus says we’re blessed when we do the right thing, even when it’s tough?
