OUR SALVATION
Weekly Warm-up:
How do you feel about yard sales?
What is the best bargain you have ever found?
Do you prefer to pay for quality or quantity?
Weekly Overview:
In the world of
Medicare, recipients of government health insurance are called
“beneficiaries.” Seems a little
odd. Normally, a beneficiary is someone
who receives life insurance benefits after someone has died. In both examples, a person has paid an amount
of money, sometimes over many years, so that those benefits are available
either for themselves or for a loved one.
Things that we deem valuable are rarely free. Someone has paid a price.
Jesus paid a high cost
for our salvation in one lump sum payment so that we can be the beneficiaries
of an eternity of benefits. Before His
sacrifice, we were doomed but now we have been set free from the penalty of our
sin.
Weekly Discussion Questions:
Read Hebrews 9:11-15
What did the early form of sacrifice cost the beneficiary?
Why did that not totally free him/her from the guilt of sin?
What did Jesus’ sacrifice cost Him? Cost God?
Why was the sacrifice Jesus made the perfect sacrifice?
How did that sacrifice cover us once and for all?
What benefits did we receive by the cost Jesus paid?
How can we “pay it forward” to benefit others?
Group Prayer:
Pray a prayer of thanksgiving for the gift of salvation.
Pray for lost friends and family.
Pray for Easter church service and activities.
