The Search | Episode 6
What Jesus did for us through his life, death and resurrection was the greatest act of love in history. He saved us. He did this for each one of us. Personally. But some might feel unworthy of this gift of love. We may feel we have too much baggage. We may feel unlovable. But God didn’t come to reveal himself to us on a pedestal, he came to enter into our messy human condition. To fix us from within. To transform us from the inside out. Some might be surprised by how generous the love of God really is. We don’t deserve God’s love, but that’s the amazing reality of God’s mercy. This relationship with God isn’t all about our love for Him. It’s about His love for us that changes our lives forever.
Following the video, reflect on the following:
What does it mean that salvation is in the here and now?
What is sin?
A violation against reality
a disordering of God’s creation.
Who determines reality?
God as Creator.
Who determines sin?
God, not man.
When we determine what is sin, we are playing God
Who can be saved?
God wants everyone in heaven—that was Jesus’ final prayer (John 17). The mission of Jesus is unity.
We are on mission to gather all to Christ.
We cannot save ourselves. We need grace.
What is grace?
How do we receive grace?
Living radical love
How do we live the radical love necessary for salvation?
You learn by looking at the face of the One who loves you.
Holy homework: Consider if you have given your “yes” to Jesus. Is He the Lord of their life? Jesus has the power to rewrite your story if you let Him in. How can He help you live your story?
