Reply to "Micah 6:6-8 "Do Justice, Love Kindness, Walk Humbly" Lessons, Ideas and Resources"

Hey Rev Cindy!

Micah 6 is one of my favorite Bible passages!  Please share what you end up doing.

The passage reminds me of the Great Commandment in that it condenses a lot of scripture into a passage that's HIGHLY VISUAL, full of ACTIONS, and is easily and important to remember.   So depicting it and working on remembering it would be two of my goals in teaching it.

How? My initial thought is something like a "stations of the cross" walk-through --> "Micah 6:8 Stations." Each station has something sensory/visual to see or experience, something each participant is asked to "give up" or leave behind, something they can collect to take with them that will help them remember the verses.  

For practical purposes, "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly" are all the same thing. They are three sides of the same attitude. 

"Walking humbly" for example, is the same thing as doing justice and being merciful because in Jesus' lexicon, "humility" is about WHO we walk beside and HOW we walk with others, help, be seen with, side with, stand up for, give to, go out of our way for.  And when we walk with these in this way, we are in fact walking with God.

Jesus says as much in Matthew 25: "whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me"    Jesus gives us several VISUALS which could be part of a Micah walk/station:  Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?   I would update those with problems that face us today. 

Micah 6:8 (NIV)

8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
