#17: Proverbs 13:7 - Knowing Jesus Is True Richness

Story summary

In this Bible lesson, Barbara Yak’s flashy wealth is pit against Joy Jackrabbit’s humble generosity, revealing that true riches come from a heart full of Jesus’ kindness, not money.

Proverbs 13:7

One pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;
another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.

What did We Learn?

  • Being “rich” isn’t what the world thinks it is.
  • Being rich isn’t how much money you have, it’s knowing Jesus, having friends, and being filled with a kindness that gives itself away.

Let's Pray

Dear Lord,
Help us to not look at what we have to show us whether we are rich or poor.
Instead, let us look and see if we have Jesus in our heart and life.
Only then are we truly rich.
In Jesus’ Name we pray.
Amen.
