Lesson 8: God's Friendship with Us Unit 2, THE JESUS COVENANT Lesson 8: God’s Friendship with Us GOSPEL OF Genre: Gospel LUKE Author: Luke PROFILE Where Is It: New Testament: Gospel of Matthew – Mark - LUKE Key Characters: Jesus, the Disciples, Mary (Jesus’ mother), John the Baptist Main Plot: God comes to us in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus heals, teaches about the in-breaking kingdom of God, and offers a different way to be human. His death and resurrection is victory over sin, changing the world forever. THE WORD Luke 2:1-21 ENGAGE THE WORD Lesson Overview: Spiritual Dimension Of all the stories in the Bible, the story of Jesus’ birth is probably the best known. The narrative is told so frequently that we often grow numb to its significance. But what is happening in this passage is something completely creative and amazing! God sends his Son—inviting us into his story of grace and love. Jesus’ birth is the story of God pursuing us and loving us so much that that he actually becomes like us—fully human and fully God. This is life-changing news and so much more than just a manger scene at Christmas. In Jesus, we have the pinnacle example of God doing the unexpected. In this lesson, as you spend time teaching youth about Jesus—incarnate “God with us”—make sure they encounter the real Jesus. Often, youth (and adults) have a tendency to make Jesus into something other than who he really was. We forget about what Jesus came to accomplish on earth. We tend to leave Jesus in the manger, thinking it’s a nice story but not something to shape our lives around. Or perhaps we see Jesus as a vending machine: we put in our time and energy, and we receive from God what we want. Still others see Jesus as an unapproachable figure who lived a long time ago, but who doesn’t have much to do with our lives today. The story of Emmanuel—God with us—is always, always, always good news for youth and powerful to change their lives. Biblical Commentary LUKE 2:1–21 This passage picks up at the amazing circumstances of the birth of Jesus, beginning with Joseph and Mary’s travel to Bethlehem for the census. If you have students who are unfamiliar with this story, it will be important to take a step back and start with the story of Mary and Joseph found in Luke 1:26–38. In Luke 1:31–33, for instance, we read about the foretelling of the birth of Jesus. Terms such as “throne” and “unending kingdom” are used to describe Jesus’ upcoming life. After an introduction like that (and the song of Zechariah in Luke 1:67–79), one might expect something a little more grand than the entrance we find in Luke chapter 2. 46 Copyright © 2018 by The Foundry Publishing. Permission to use for local church ministry. GOD’S FRIENDSHIP WITH US THE MAIN IDEA THE BIRTH OF JESUS SHOWS US THAT GOD LOVES US SO MUCH THAT HE COMES TO US. IN CHRIST, GOD DEMONSTRATES WHAT REAL FRIENDSHIP IS. The story documents a simple birth. Joseph and Mary come into the Good News city not with great fanfare, but in the quiet of night. Jesus’ birth is not The Greek word for good news, in a palace, but in a humble stable or cave. He is wrapped not in kingly or “gospel,” is euaggelion. This robes, but in common strips of cloth. The contrast between what we is where we derive the word expect and what actually transpires seems vast. “evangelism.” The news that a Savior had come is, in fact, good Later in the passage, we read about angelic hosts proclaiming the birth news worth proclaiming and of Jesus. Throughout Scripture, angels are mysterious and divine. And spreading! their announcement is made not to the powerful and well connected, but rather to a group of ordinary shepherds. After the shepherds Consider Your Students settle down and calm their fears at the sight of angels, the angels Forming friendships is a critical impart some important news. In fact, it is called “good news” (Luke part of an adolescent’s transition 2:10) that will be for all people. Indeed, the birth of Jesus is good news into adulthood, but it can be revealing that our God is a faithful Redeemer. He promised a way for challenging for many students. his creation to once again be whole, and through Jesus he delivers a Think about your students who way. The story of Christ’s birth also reveals God’s heart. He longs to be might have difficulty forming with his creation so much that he sends his own Son to dwell with and friendships at school or in other areas of life. be God among us. REFLECT ON THE TOPIC: In what ways is the story of the birth of Jesus world-changing and life-transforming? Is there an important relationship between the humble setting and circumstances of Jesus’ birth and his message and mission throughout the rest of the gospel? REFLECT ON YOUR STUDENTS: What observations have you made about your students’ quest for identity and communal belonging?

In Christ, God demonstrates what real friendship is. Connect to My Experience: Welcome and Prayer Christmas Favorites (or) White Elephant Exchange Conversation About God’s Friendship Connect to the Word: Spontaneous Christmas Pageant (or) Modern-Day Manger Scene Connect to My Life and the World: God’s Friendship Is a Treasure (or) A Note to God Closing: Affirmation and Prayer CONNECT TO MY EXPERIENCE Student Goal: Youth will start to relate Christmas to God’s great invitation of friendship. Note: Because this lesson covers the Christmas story, bring in some fun Christmas treats and Christmas games even if you’re teaching the lesson outside of the traditional Christmas season. WELCOME YOUR GROUP AND OPEN IN PRAYER Below is the prayer of confession that will be shown throughout this entire unit. Consider making this your class prayer for these few weeks: PRAY: Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. After prayer, lead right into one of the ice breakers and/or opening options below.

Consider discussing with your student how confess- How important are the friends in your life? ing our sins against God and neighbor helps heal our friendship with God. 48 GOD’S FRIENDSHIP WITH US SAY: Although it’s not Christmas time, we are starting a new series today and talking about the birth of Jesus. So let’s get into the Christmas spirit! For the next few weeks, we’ll be talking about “friend- ships.” What does the Christmas story have to do with friendship? Well, that’s what we’re going to find out today. The Christmas story is one we all know really well. In fact, we can become desensitized to the story because we hear it so often at Christmas time. Today, I want to show you how the birth of Jesus reveals that God loves us and wants to be in relationship with us—that he came to be our friend. ASK: Who can tell me some of the key characters in the Christmas story? Where in the Bible do we find the Christmas story? Take a Bible and turn to the Gospel of Luke. Show students that Luke’s gospel is one of four gospel accounts—Matthew, Mark, and John are the others—which tell the story of Jesus. Invite students to open up Bibles and follow along. CONNECT TO THE WORD Student Goal: Youth will take a look at the surprising and humble way in which the King of the Universe comes into the world. SAY: Today we are going to be looking at the story of Jesus’ birth found in the book of Luke chapter 2. This story picks up after Mary and Joseph have heard the news that Mary will be having a baby and that the baby will be Jesus. Let’s take a minute and read a couple of the Christmas in the things that have been said about this baby who is going to be born. Bible Pay attention to how this baby is described. I’ll ask some questions Each gospel contains after we read these first few passages and write our answers down. varying degrees of detail about God coming into our ASK a student to read Luke 1:26–38.

It circled the globe at 17,000 miles per hour. Imagine the power that it took to push that huge rocket through space at that speed! Did you know God is more powerful than that? The Bible says, “The Lord is…great in power” (Nahum 1:3). He made the heavens and Earth. God spoke and it was there! He is almighty. He rules over all nations. God’s power has no limits. He can make anything happen. The Bible tells about Abraham and Sarah. God promised them that they would have many children, but no children were born. One day, God sent an angel to Abraham when he and Sarah were almost 100 years old. The angel told him that the following year Sarah would have a son. That was impossible! When Sarah laughed, the angel said, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” (Genesis 18:14). Sure enough, Sarah had a son! Because God is all-powerful, He could make this impossible thing happen. The next time you have a problem, remember that God is very powerful and wants to help you. THINK ABOUT IT! What are some ways God shows His power? TALK TO GOD Tell God how great and powerful He is.

Some people have been surprised to discover something new about a friend they thought they knew well.

While under house arrest in Rome, the apostle Paul wrote to believers in the small city of Colosse, located in the southwest interior of what is now Turkey. When was it written? About A.D. 60 to 62, during the time Paul awaited trial on an appeal to the Roman emperor Nero. Why was it written?

  • Faith @ Work Metropolitan Baptist Church 40 Days of Power Lenten Devotional 2017
    Faith @ Work Metropolitan Baptist Church 40 Days of Power Lenten Devotional 2017 Dr. Maurice Watson, Senior Servant An Overview of Lent By Shirley Jackson, President Metropolitan PUSH Ministry What is Lent? Lent is a 40-day season of purposeful focus on prayer and fasting to draw us closer to God. A time to cleanse ourselves of unhealthy habits, relationships, and unforgiveness that block our blessings. A time to re-evaluate and redirect our use of time, talents, spiritual gifts, and service. A time to be more inten- tional. When is Lent? Lent is forty days before Easter, excluding Sundays. Sundays are excluded because every Sunday is like a little Easter and 40 days is like a tithe of one’s time, or one-tenth of a year. Lent always begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. Lent this year is March 1 - April 15, Display featuring a crown of thorns and cross with purple cloth 2017. heralds the beginning of Lent. Photo Credit: Kathleen Barry. United Methodist Communications. The People of the UMC. Why Should I Participate in Lent? Are you satisfied with every aspect of your Christian life? Are you living a fulfilled life of purpose, passion, and direction? Are you satisfied with your relationships at work, at home, among friends, and family? Are you using your gifts and talents to build up the body of Christ? Are you sensing that God wants you to do more or something different? God has a plan for your life. Are you on God’s plan? Do you fill the emptiness inside with mindless activities, TV, excessive eating, drinking, and unhealthy relationships? Our lives are filled with distractions and frustrations that take our focus away from God.
