READ THE BIBLE

Look up these Bible stories of people who learned from their own mistakes. You can use your own Bible, a Bible App or the Bible Gateway website.

Zacchaeus - Luke chapter 19:1-6

The ‘Sinful Woman’ - Luke chapter 7:36-50

REFLECT ON WHAT IT MEANS

They are both amazing stories of people who made lots of mistakes in life. Like the son that went off, they both learned from their mistakes and admitted to themselves that they were in deep trouble. Then, they did the best thing anyone can do in that situation - they came looking for Jesus. And they found him - and we can, too!

RELATE IT TO YOUR LIFE

As you read you can ask yourself these easy questions:

What does the story tell me about God?

What does the story tell me about people?

What does the story say to me about something I should do?
