In this second lesson, students are reminded of the previous discussion about Jesus calling us to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. The lesson emphasizes the importance of allowing the Spirit to guide us and the value of forgiveness as a supreme act of love and peace. It highlights the challenges faced by people during Jesus’ time, particularly regarding their faith and understanding of his teachings, including the significance of taxes and moral conduct in the temple. Ultimately, Jesus taught humility and the need to respect God over earthly matters, demonstrating this when he criticized those selling in the temple.
