2. Protecting the Most Vulnerable

• The episode spotlights God’s special concern for people who might be mistreated or forgotten:

  “Many of God's rules protect the people in society who need the most. Orphans, widows, the poor and outsiders. Because of the customs at the time, these people are the most vulnerable. And that is a good word to remember.”
  [00:28-00:46]

• Miss Emily defines “vulnerable” for young listeners:

3. Mercy Even for Enemies

• The episode highlights God’s instructions to show kindness not only to friends but also to those considered enemies:
