Family Quest: The Hope – Love & Justice 2

Mike MeyersChildren's Ministry, Family Quest, ResourcesMarch 5, 2016 Leave a comment0

Family Quest header v3

The Hope series graphic copyGOD’S LOVE & JUSTICE INTERSECT, PART 2

“God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood — to be received by faith.” – Romans 3:25a

 

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matt. 27:46).

At the cross Jesus suffered the humiliation, physical death, and most dramatically of all, the separation from the Father, spiritual death, that our sin has earned us.  That is the intersection of love and justice.

thebridge

BIG IDEA: God is love. God is just.

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THIS WEEK’S VIDEO (Begin at 5:36 at watch to the end. Parents: There are some scenes in this portion of The Hope that are not appropriate for younger viewers.  You may consider simply reading the account to your child from Luke 23 or skipping some sections of the video as we did in Quest.)

MEDITATING ON THE WORD:

Isaiah 53
John 3:16
Romans 6:23
2 Corinthians 5:21

SECTION VERSES:

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.’”   – John 14:6-7

LESSON VERSE:

“God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood — to be received by faith.”  – Romans 3:25a

PRAYER:

Think about the fact that Jesus did nothing wrong, but was willing to suffer and die so we can live with God.  Give thanks for God’s love.

DISCUSSION STARTERS:

  • What does it mean to be just?
  • According to God’s justice, what does sin deserve? (Romans 6:23a)
  • If Jesus was innocent, why did Jesus die? (2 Corinthians 5:21)
  • Why is Jesus’ sacrifice important to us?

LIVE IT OUT!

  • Talk about what Jesus did for you. How should we respond to what we’ve learned about Jesus and what He did on the cross?

ABOUT FAMILY QUEST: At Reston Bible Church, we firmly believe that parents are a child’s first and most important spiritual leader.  In order to support you that mission, we have created a parent devotional and some discussion starters to go along with each lesson your grade school age children are learning at Quest on Sundays. Our hope and prayer is that this material will help you to engage with your children around the topics they are learning on Sunday mornings, answer their questions, go deeper with them, and find real, day-to-day applications. We are honored to be able to partner with you in the critical task of sharing Christ with the next generation.
