Living the Truth...about Jesus



John 1, Philippians 2:1-11,
Luke 4:16-21, Isaiah 53:4-10, Romans 3:24-26, John 3:16-17, Galatians 2:20-21

We have talked in the past couple of weeks about living the truth…about God and living the truth…about us.  If we look at the truth about God, we should want to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.  When we look at the truth about us, we should want to love our neighbor as our self.  However, also as we look at the truth about us, we realize that living that truth, loving God and loving our neighbor as our self is not easy to do.

Exercising our freedom to choose the way we would go, we find ourselves choosing our way, which is sometimes (frequently) different than God’s way, which means NOT loving God and NOT loving neighbor.  So how can we love God and love neighbor even as we are fallen human beings?

This week we are going to learn about living the truth…about Jesus.  Specifically, we are going to talk about how this was God’s rescue plan from the beginning, and we will also talk about how we can live out that truth about Jesus in our everyday, 24x7 lives.
