Christ died not only to save us but also to leave us an example of holy suffering, showing us how to endure injustice while entrusting ourselves to God. He lived without sin, reviled no one in return, and submitted to the Father’s will—even unto death. This lesson teaches us what following Christ looks like: imitating His humility, righteousness, and patient endurance, especially in times of suffering.
Christ Died: To Teach us Marital Love (Ephesians 5:23 - 29)
Christ died to reveal His deep, sacrificial love for the church—He gave Himself to cleanse, sanctify, and present her in glory, without blemish. His love is steadfast, nourishing, and committed to our eternal good. This lesson teaches us how marriage points to this greater love: the love Christ has for His people.
Christ Died: To Enable Us To Live By Faith In Him (Galatians 2:20)
Christ died to enable us to live by faith in Him, not in ourselves. Galatians 2:20 reminds us that our old self was crucified with Christ, and now Christ lives in us. As new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17), we no longer live for ourselves but by trusting in the Son of God, who loved us and gave Himself for us. This new life means we no longer depend on our own strength or desires—we remember Christ daily, live by faith in His power and promises, and show our love for Him through obedience (John 14:23-24). His death gives us the joy and purpose of living for Him.
Christ Died: For Us to Boast in the Cross (Galatians 6:14)
Jesus died so that we would stop boasting in ourselves and start boasting in Him. The cross shows us that salvation is not earned by our works, wisdom, or strength—it is entirely a gift of God's grace. Christ alone lived a perfectly righteous life, and His righteousness is given to all who trust in Him. That’s why the only thing worth boasting about is the cross. It humbles us, lifts up Jesus, and reminds us that in our weakness, His power is made perfect.
Christ Died: To Magnify His Greatness in Our Hearts (2 Corinthians 5:15)
Jesus died not just to save us from sin, but to reorient our hearts to live for His glory. When we truly behold the beauty of Christ—His humility, love, sacrifice, and joy—we are moved to treasure Him above all else. This lesson invites us to fix our eyes on the One who gave Himself for us, that we might no longer live for ourselves, but for Him who died and rose again. In doing so, we find that living for Christ is not only right—it is more satisfying than anything the world can offer.
Christ the Shepherd, Who Died: To Gather Every Last Sheep (Psalm 23:1)
Jesus is not only the Good Shepherd who leads and protects—He is the Shepherd who laid down His life to gather every one of His sheep. From eternity past, the Father gave Him a people, and Jesus came to seek, save, and never lose even one. This lesson explores the Shepherd’s deep love and fierce commitment to His flock—how He pursues the lost, heals the wounded, gathers the scattered, and carries His own forever. We are the sheep of His pasture, and in His voice, care, and sacrifice, we find our peace, our purpose, and our place.
Christ Died: For Us to Die to Sin (1 Peter 2:24)
Jesus bore our sins on the cross not so we could remain in them—but so we could die to them and live for righteousness. 1 Peter 2:24 reminds us that by His wounds, we are healed—healed from the deadly disease of sin, and empowered to walk in newness of life. This lesson unpacks the transformative power of Christ’s death: how He healed our deepest wounds, freed us from sin’s grip, and calls us to a life marked by righteousness. Dying to sin is not a one-time act—it’s a lifelong journey of becoming more like Him.
Christ Died: To Free Us From Slavery to Sin (Romans 6:6-7)
Sin isn’t just something we struggle with—it’s a master that enslaves every person apart from Christ. But through His death and resurrection, Jesus broke the power of sin and set believers free. In this lesson, we’ll explore what it means to be enslaved to sin, how Christ’s sacrifice delivers us, and how God’s grace transforms us to become slaves of righteousness, walking in freedom and sanctification.
Christ Died: To Free Us From “Creation Worship” (1 Peter 1:18-19)
Since the fall, mankind has exchanged the truth of God for lies—worshipping the creation instead of the Creator. From idols of silver and gold to self-worship and nature adoration, people chase what is seen and forget the One who made it all. But God is not silent about this. His Word shows us that creation worship leads to judgment, while true worship of the Creator leads to life. Jesus died to free us from these empty pursuits and restore our hearts to the only One worthy of worship—our Creator and Redeemer. In this lesson, we see that Christ’s blood redeems us from idolatry so we can live in joyful, wholehearted devotion to the God who made and saved us.
Christ Died: To Become Our Compassionate Priest (Hebrews 4:15-16)
Jesus, our High Priest, understands our struggles because He Himself experienced suffering and temptation. Though He was fully human, He remained sinless, passing every test that we fail. Because of His perfect obedience, He can sympathize with our weaknesses and offer us grace in our time of need. His compassion is not distant but deeply personal—He knows our pain, intercedes for us, and invites us to approach God with confidence. This lesson explores how Christ’s role as our compassionate High Priest gives us hope, mercy, and strength to persevere.
