After a great week last week, I have used the foundation the YLT student made as a springboard to a new series on the names of Jesus. Given there are so many different names, each Monday and Friday we will also have some short video devotionals to talk about some of the other names of Jesus (otherwise the series would take us into January 2015). So if you come across those take some time to watch them and ask your teenagers about it.
This week, being the week before Easter we discussed Jesus as the Lamb of God. Together, we looked back at the Passover and how it points in so many ways to Jesus and how He serves for us as a Passover Lamb. We also looked at the Israelites and their life of slavery and how we can often relate to them, finding our selves as slaves to Sin, which the Lamb of God frees us from.
We ended the night being reminded of the words in Galatians 5 reminding that Christ has set us free and to stay free! We broke some chains and each took a piece to remind us never again to go back to the life of slavery we once lived in, but instead live lives full of the freedom bought for us by the precious blood of the Lamb!
