Parent Connection - 4.11.21

             


             #Rejected

Students will understand why Jesus was rejected and will choose to trust in Him alone for salvation.


 

John 12:37

 

 

 

Your good is not good enough.

 

 


Tonight’s lesson was the third lesson in a four-week series called “His Story.” This series highlights passages from the Gospel of John. Tonight, we focused on the fact that Jesus was rejected.

 

We learned that having a relationship with God is not about making sure our good works outweigh our bad works. In fact, we discovered that our “good” is not good enough to get us to Heaven. Our good will never be enough to outweigh our bad.

 

We discovered that Jesus was rejected so that we don’t ever have to be rejected by God. He died on the cross, was buried, and rose again. He defeated sin and death and wants us to stop trusting in our own righteousness and simply receive His righteousness by trusting in Him as Savior.

 

Your teen was given the opportunity to reject the idea that his/her good deeds could ever outweigh his/her bad deeds, and instead, trust Christ as Savior. All of the teens who believe in Jesus were challenged to boldly proclaim that trust on their social media site or at school. Make a point this week to have a discussion with your teen about the concept of our “good outweighing our bad” and how it falls short of what is needed to have a relationship with God.
