This set of ten lessons covers Jesus’ triumphal entry, crucifixion, death and resurrection.
Dear Juniors,
Congratulations! When you complete the lessons in this book, you will have finished all of the lessons for Juniors in the Life of Christ series. You have learned many things that you did not know. You’ve heard the beautiful story of the birth of Christ. You have learned how things were in Jesus’ childhood, when He was baptized and how He selected 12 men to be His disciples. You’ve had fun lessons about prayer and giving. There have been lessons on the miracles Jesus performed to make life better for people. The Golden Rule, the importance of forgiveness and many of the parables that Christ taught are things you have learned. These lessons have been designed to be really fun and to make you a better Christian.
Be prepared, now, to make your way through the most important part of Christ’s life. He came to this world to be our Savior. Death is something we don’t really like to talk about. But, sometimes it’s important that we do. God loves you so much that He gave His Son, Jesus, to die for your sins. The penalty for sin is death. That means that because we have sinned, death is required. To pay the death penalty for us, Jesus, a perfect man who never sinned, died for everyone in the world. Jesus’ death makes it possible for you to be forgiven of your sins.
We must not stop here, because a most wonderful thing happened. Jesus was only dead for three days and three nights. He came out of that grave and today He lives! Because He lives, we can live forever. What a happy ending. You will learn all about Jesus’ death and resurrection in the lessons in this book.
This YEA book has some very important lessons for you to learn. But you will need to read your lesson each week before Sabbath School, and take time to learn your memory verse. Daily Bible reading is also important for you. Look on the back of your book and you will see the Daily Devotionals. Read the scriptures each week for that particular day. If you keep this up, someday you will have read the entire Bible. Won’t that be neat? Be prepared for some very important lessons and keep focused on the fact that Jesus lives today!
