Do you have to earn love? This has been the question that Year 6 have been exploring and delving into over this past half-term. It has led to many thought-provoking discussions and questions amongst the class. To help us understand more about love and specifically God’s unconditional love we have looked at the parable of the Prodigal Son alongside various passages in the bible. This parable revealed to us how powerful unconditional love is and how a father welcomed his son home despite how his son had treated him previously. He loved his son without any conditions attached, much like how God loves us. We drew pictures to portray the father embracing his son when he returned. We have thought through advice that is given in the bible about how to love one another and the importance of not only offering forgiveness and grace but also receiving it.
