The Big Question:
Is Jesus who he says he is?
Lesson Review
This week, we saw that Jesus healed a man on the Sabbath, which was illegal. Then he told the healed man to pick up his mat and walk, and carrying anything on the Sabbath was definitely not allowed. Both of these things show us that God is the highest authority. Higher than any person or rules made up by people. He proved it to the man by healing him, and God proves it to us by saving us through Jesus and giving us purpose.
But what’s more, it shows us that the Kingdom of God conflicts with other systems. When Jesus broke the rules, he showed us that God’s Kingdom doesn’t always fit in with what our culture wants us to do or act like. In fact, it often is completely, radically different. So that leaves us with one question we have to answer, and the answer we land on will define our lives.
Is Jesus who he says he is?
Questions
- Why is it that the Kingdom of God conflicts with just about every other system?
- Can you think of any areas in your life where you don’t let God be the ultimate authority? Think of something you can do to either change that.
- Do you believe that Jesus is who he says he is?
Do This
Pray and ask God what you need to do to live with him as the ultimate authority in your life. Ask him to call the shots and lead you to where you need to be.
