Lesson 1: Jesus - God's Greatest Gift (PDF)
Everlasting happiness is not just something to wish
for. God loves you so much that He sent His Son Jesus, to be your friend. Those who
receive Him will have eternal happiness. So Jesus is the best gift you could
have.
Lesson 2: Jesus - The Great Teacher (PDF)
Jesus grew up in Nazareth, a city of about 15,000 in
the province of Galilee. It was a stopping place on a great highway between Jerusalem
and the seaports of Tyre and Sidon. Vice and crime were so common that people said,
"Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Jesus saw the sinfulness: the selfishness,
corruption, cruelty, and rebellion against God. He saw that men and women were slaves
of sin.
Lesson 3: Jesus--Prophet and King (PDF)
Moses was a great prophet and leader. He led his
people out of slavery and gave them the laws of God. God showed Moses that the Messiah
would also be a prophet to give God´s message to the people. He would lead people out
of the slavery of sin. He would be King of their lives and give them new rules to live
by.
Lesson 4: Jesus Teaches Forgiveness (PDF)
There were two ways to leave an inheritance: by a will,
or by gifts to the heirs while the owner was still living. The younger son was anxious
to get away from home to enjoy life in his own way. He wanted to choose his own friends.
He didn´t want his father or brother telling him what to do. So the father gave him his
part of the inheritance, and he left home.
Lesson 5: Jesus Dies in Our Place (PDF)
The main religious leaders hated Jesus because He preached
against their sins. They were jealous because crowds followed Him. They decided to arrest
Jesus, accuse Him of being a revolutionary, and have Him put to death. However, they were
afraid that if they arrested Jesus openly the crowds would defend Him. So they bribed one
of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, to lead them to Jesus at night.
Lesson 6: Jesus the Risen Lord (PDF)
Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea, religious leaders
who believed in Jesus, got permission from Pilate to bury Jesus. They knew He was dead
because, just to be sure, one of the soldiers had plunged a spear into His side. They
wrapped the body in grave clothes, put it into a new burial cave, and rolled a big stone
over the entrance. Nicodemus remembered Jesus´ words: that He must be "lifted up,"
crucified.
