Here are the answers and discussion points for the questions in the image:

Lesson Five

1. Today we are going to look at God's second requirement in Micah 6:8. First, can you recall the first requirement?
* *Answer:* The first requirement mentioned in Micah 6:8 (though not explicitly stated in the text, it is commonly known as "to act justly" or "do justice"). The text implies the second is "to love mercy."

2. What does it mean to love mercy?
* *Answer:* It means showing compassion, kindness, and leniency with those who are in error. It involves being kind to someone who may not deserve it.

3. How do you feel when someone is kind to you?
* *Answer:* (Personal response) Usually, people feel grateful, happy, relieved, or loved.

4. Describe the opposite of mercy.
* *Answer:* The opposite of mercy would be being harsh, unforgiving, cruel, or giving someone exactly what they deserve (often punishment) without leniency.

5. Mercy is more than just being kind. It has the connotation of being kind to someone who may not deserve it.
* *Answer:* (Statement for reflection) This highlights that true mercy is given even when the other person has made a mistake or is at fault.

Example 1:
* Scenario: Waylin is bored with homework but is invited to have fun with his cousin.
* Question: Do you think Waylin's mother should have mercy on him? What are some reasons that she should or should not? How should she decide?
* *Answer:* This is a discussion question.
* *Reasons for mercy:* He is working hard, he is tired/bored, the cousin visit is a special opportunity.
* *Reasons against mercy:* Homework needs to be done for learning, he started dawdling.
* *Decision:* She might decide to let him finish the last few problems quickly so he can go, showing kindness while still ensuring the work gets done.

Example 2:
* Scenario: A sales clerk makes a mistake charging the wrong amount.
* Question: What do you do if someone makes a mistake? Should you show them mercy? What if they make a mistake because they were careless? Does that change anything?
* *Answer:*
* If someone makes an honest mistake, showing mercy (forgiveness, understanding) is usually the right thing to do.
* If they were careless, it might be harder, but mercy is still valuable. Everyone makes mistakes.
* Changing anything: Carelessness might mean you need to be more careful in the future, but it doesn't necessarily mean you stop being kind.

6. Can you think of a time when you were shown mercy?
* *Answer:* (Personal response) Think of a time you made a mistake and someone forgave you or didn't punish you as much as you expected.

7. Memory Work: Use memory card #5 and review Micah 6:8 today.
* *Answer:* (Action item) Review the verse.

Lesson Six

1. True Story: (Reading comprehension)
* Would you say Micah 6:8 is an easy verse or a hard verse to follow? Do you agree it reflects God's Law?
* *Answer:* The story suggests it can be hard because it requires having the "heart of God." It reflects God's Law because it summarizes His desire for justice and mercy.

2. One of the challenges of this verse is that "justice" and "mercy" appear to be opposites.
* Think About It: If someone was arrested for a crime, would they want a judge who was known for justice or known for mercy? Would the victim of the crime want that judge to have justice or mercy?
* *Answer:*
* The accused person might want a judge known for mercy (leniency).
* The victim might want a judge known for justice (fair punishment).
* Ideally, a judge needs both to be fair.

3. The Perfect Judge
* A judge should be both perfect in mercy and perfect in justice. Is that hard to do? Who is the only perfect judge?
* *Answer:* Yes, it is very hard for humans to be perfectly just and perfectly merciful at the same time. God is considered the only perfect judge.

4. Craft Time
* Make the second part of the craft you started in Activity Four, but this time write "love mercy."
* *Answer:* (Action item) Complete the craft activity.

5. Memory Work: Use memory card #6 and review Micah 6:8 today.
* *Answer:* (Action item) Review the verse.
