Story summary

In this Bible lesson, a crime has been committed, and all evidence points to the Wonderwolves. Red goes against the crowd and defends his brothers and cousins, and learns a lesson from Proverbs 17:17 about sticking by loved ones.

Proverbs 17:17

A friend loves at all times,
    and a brother is born for adversity.

What did We Learn?

  • The heart of a true brother or sister is to stick with someone through difficulties.
  • Sometimes that person is innocent and we still by them when everyone else thinks they aren’t.
  • Sometimes they are guilty and, though we don’t excuse what they have done, we love them and try to minister to them even so.

Let's Pray

Heavenly Father,
Give us the heart of a true brother or sister, not a fair weather heart, but one that sticks with them through any difficulty.
Help us be friends that love at all times, by the power of your Holy Spirit in us.
In Jesus’ Name we pray.
Amen.
