Orbit 6.1
John is making a big impact in the area. He preached about turning round to God and about being baptised and some people are confused as to who he is!
Read Luke 3 verses 15-20
- Who did people think John might be?
- How did John answer them?
- What do you think verse 17 means? It seems to be about how Jesus would judge the world.
- Does this sound too harsh? Can we talk about judgement and forgiveness?
Prayer – Pray about the way Jesus came to judge people and love people… ask for his forgiveness.
Creative – Can you draw a picture of a judge? Write underneath “not me”
Orbit 6.2
Jesus is the Son of God is easy to say, but what does it mean?
Read Luke 3 verses 21-22
- What things are we told about Jesus?
- Psalm 2 verses 6-7 says God’s king is His Son – so God was saying Jesus is the king.
- God was pleased with him – for he had no sin – so why was he baptised? Baptism is a symbol of being washed of our sins?
- How else did Jesus stand in the sandals of sinful people?
Read Luke 3 verses 23-38
- Any surprising names in there?
Prayer – Give thanks to Jesus the unique one – the holy Son of God!
Creative – Can you recreate this scene with an action man, bird, loud voice etc?
Orbit 6.3
Straight after his baptism, Jesus is taken to a place to be tempted!
Read Luke 4 verses 1-13
- What ways did the devil try to tempt Jesus?
- What was the temptation for Jesus?
- How did Jesus beat each temptation?
If Jesus had given in – that would have been the end of God’s rescue plan. But Jesus kept trusting God and his word to get him through!
Prayer – Thank God for the strength of Jesus and his love. Pray for your own strength to conquer temptation.
Creative – Leave a chocolate sweet somewhere in your room and go a whole week without eating it – see if you can do it…
