SESSION TWO<br />

GOD LOVES YOU<br />

34 35<br />

We enter into this beautiful relationship with God through <strong>Jesus</strong>, who<br />

was the Messiah (meaning ‘savior’). He is one with the Father, which<br />

means He is God. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.<br />

<strong>Jesus</strong> was not just a good guy or a role model, He was God in the<br />

flesh, and He is the means for God’s plan for redemption (and there<br />

is no plan B).<br />

MEDITATION VERSE:<br />

JESUS TOLD HIM, “I AM THE WAY,<br />

THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. NO ONE<br />

CAN COME TO THE FATHER EXCEPT<br />

THROUGH ME.” JOHN 14:6<br />

God’s love is not a distant benevolence. It is an<br />

intimate love, based on the fact that He knows<br />

everything about you, but loves you anyway.<br />

When we are loved unconditionally, we feel a<br />

sort of freedom. We are free from having to<br />

impress, free from insecurity. We’re forgiven of<br />

our mistakes and welcomed into relationship.<br />

We need to respond to this love in order to experience it and have it<br />

change us. What does that look like? That’s what we will explore in<br />

this week’s lesson.<br />

“GOD LOVES<br />

YOU.” YOU’VE<br />

PROBABLY<br />

HEARD THAT<br />

MORE THAN<br />

ONCE IN YOUR<br />

LIFE. BUT<br />

WHAT DOES<br />

IT MEAN?
