Giải thích cho trẻ em

Imagine you and your friend have different ideas about what game to play. Sometimes, when one person becomes really excited about something new, like a new toy or game, it might make others feel upset because they don't understand why this thing is so special. Jesus talks about how following Him can be like that - sometimes people in the same family won’t agree.
