KNOWING JESUS AS FRIEND


Objective: Students will understand the incarnation of Christ and be challenged to seek growth in their friendship with Him.

Key Scripture: John 15:15

Key Thought: What a friend we have in Jesus!

Lesson Summary: Tonight, we finished a series called, “Knowing Jesus: God, Messiah, Creator, Friend.” We highlighted the fact that Jesus came to earth and became a human while still maintaining His deity. This is called the incarnation. Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. The GOD MAN desires a relationship with us.

It is this friendship with Jesus that we highlighted in the lesson tonight. Your student was challenged to begin a relationship with Jesus, or, for students who have already trusted Christ as Savior, they were challenged to strengthen their relationship with Jesus. Truly, we have a friend in Jesus.

Make a point this week to ask your student about his/her relationship with Jesus.

Elevate Sunday Follow Up - Lesson 17

Dear Parents, Hello again!  This week was our 17 th lesson in “The Thread,” and we’re still charging through our look at the big picture of the Bible. It is amazing to see how each story helps us better understand that God’s plan from the very beginning was to send Jesus.   This week’s lesson was entitled “Samuel Anointing David.” We looked at the story of David becoming king of Israel. He was an unlikely choice; in fact, his own family thought his chances of being chosen by Samuel were so slim they didn’t even remember to invite him to the meeting. We looked at the following Scripture passages: •    1 Samuel 16:1-13 •    2 Samuel 5:1-5           •    Philippians 2:5-11 Next Steps . . .
