People wear a cross on necklaces,
sport one on bumper stickers and even slap on across T-shirts, but what does
the cross really stand for? What does it really mean? Over the next two weeks, we
will take a look at the cross in a different way, a way that moves beyond
gratitude and nostalgia to a way of life. The cross teaches us that we live so
we can die, and we die so we can live.
Session One (4-13-11)
Most of us think of the cross as the place where Jesus died for us. That is true. But it’s also about more than that. The cross isn’t just the place where Jesus died. The cross is the place where we die too. It’s not just an event that happened thousands of years ago. It’s an ongoing part of being a follower of Jesus. This week students will discover the ongoing, sacrificial life Jesus called His disciples to lead—a life characterized by the cross.
Session One Parent Cue: What are some ways that I am challenged to sacrifice myself in everyday life?
