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?
