JESUS ANOINTS ME
HOOK
How
do you welcome important guests to your house? We shake their hands, greet
them, introduce ourselves.
(Ask the children to demonstrate with a partner the
way they would welcome their guests.)
Do
you know how people in different cultures greet each other?
(Act it out and get
kids to imitate)
Japanese:
greet each other with a bow from the waist with palms on thighs and heels
together. A bow ranges from a nod to a 90-degree bend at the waist. The longer
and lower you bow, the more respect shown.
Brazil:
kiss two times on each cheek
Cambodia:
put two hands together in front of you. The higher the hands, the more respect
shown.
Jews:
Shalom dance
(accapella or tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCreul4NU94)
Shalom, my friend (2x)
Shalom, Shalom
May God be with you, May Christ be with
you
Shalom, Shalom
During
Jesus’ time, it was customary for the Jews to show honor and respect to their
guests by anointing their head with oil, kissing them and washing their
feet.
When
Jesus came to Simon the Pharisee’s house, he did not get any of this special
treatment (Luke 7:46). But a “sinful” woman came to anoint Jesus’ feet with the
most expensive perfume she had and washed his feet with her tears and hair.
LESSON : JESUS PREPARES A TABLE FOR ME (Psalm 23:5a)
Psalm 23:5b: You anoint my head with oil.
WHY WOULD A SHEPHERD ANOINT
A SHEEP’S HEAD WITH OIL?
Fights: Sheep usually will butt
heads with one another to show dominance.
Sometimes this causes injuries to the flock. To minimize harm, the shepherd
will put oil and grease their heads so that if they clash, their heads will
glide off each other without doing much harm.
Cuts: Sometimes if the sheep do
get injured, whether by fights or anything else In the great outdoors, the shepherd will add oil to the wounds to
help it heal faster.
A
good shepherd anoints His sheep because they are important to him. He honours
them individually and marks them as His own.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ME?
We are anointed
The Good Shepherd anointed us, put His seal of
ownership on us, and gave us His Spirit (2 Corinthians 1:21-22).
Jesus anoints us with His Holy Spirit. His Spirit is
in you. His Spirit who lives in us teaches us about all things (1 John
2:20,27).
The Holy Spirit is a sign, a badge, that shows the
world that God honours us as His special people, set apart for Him.
Because the Holy Spirit is in
me, I have His:
•
Peace
•
Favour and
•
Healing in my
life
Because
of this anointing, we do not have to fear any evil. People may try to bug us,
pick a fight or hurt us, but they can’t touch us because we are His special,
honoured children. We can stand tall.
My Good Shepherd gives me peace
Every day, we may encounter
rude people, bothersome comments, pesky accidents. They cannot harm us with
their words or deeds. Because of the Holy Spirit in us, they do not get into
our heads and cause negative thoughts (anger, fear, bitterness etc).
We have Jesus’ peace. We can
tell Him, “Please take care of all these.” We can give Him our problems.
My Good Shepherd gives me favour with others
When
we know Jesus, His life and love flows in us. His favour is upon us! So much so
that even our enemies will make peace with us.
Even when we meet people we
cannot stand, much less love, we can let Him love them through us.
Just tell Him, “Lord, I can’t
stand this person. Please love him/her for me.”
Psalm 133:1-2 How good and
pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on
the head …
My Good Shepherd heals me
When
Jesus was on the cross, He hung there and took all our sins and all our
sicknesses. By His stripes we are healed — physically, emotionally spiritually.
Sometimes
our friends may say things to hurt us. Our parents may scold us. Our teachers
may speak to us harshly. We may fall sick. But in all these things, we can look
to the cross, where Jesus took it all.
Our
Good Shepherd, Jesus, is attentive to all our wounds. Nothing is too small or
insignificant to Him. He cleans the wound, pours healing oil on it and heals
it.
If
you are ever in pain, just tell Him, “Lord Jesus, I thank you that you took
away my pains and hurts and sicknesses on the cross.”
CONCLUSION:
Our Good Shepherd anoints us with His Holy Spirit
because we are important to Him. His Holy Spirit gives us peace, favour and
healing.
So
far, in our journey through Psalm 23, we’ve learnt that we have a Good Shepherd
who: provides everything we need
·
invites us to rest in Him
·
gives us new life
·
guides us along the right paths
·
is with us through the darkest valleys
·
protects and keeps us safe with His rod and staff
·
prepares a table for us in the midst of our enemies
·
and anoints our heads with oil.
ACTIVITY SUGGESTIONS
HUDDLE TIME
In small groups, share about times when we were afraid, and what it means to have Jesus with us. Pray for one another.
MEMORY VERSE
Psalm 23:1-5a
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters
He refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me ; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a
table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my
head with oil.

Psalm 23:5b: You anoint my head with oil.
Psalm 23:5b: You anoint my head with oil.
WHY WOULD A SHEPHERD ANOINT
A SHEEP’S HEAD WITH OIL?
Bugs: Sheep hate bugs, such as
flies and lice. They like to travel up the sheep’s nose and lay eggs in their nostrils. The eggs will hatch into
worms that can travel up to the sheep’s brain. This will cause great distress
to the sheep, and they will keep banging their heads to try to get rid of the
irritation. The constant banging can cause death. The shepherd pours oil on the
sheep’s head and nose so that the flies would slide out instead of flying in.
Fights: Sheep usually will butt
heads with one another to show dominance.
Sometimes this causes injuries to the flock. To minimize harm, the shepherd
will put oil and grease their heads so that if they clash, their heads will
