SEPTEMBER 27 - OCTOBER 3
Rescue
Hey Lightgliders!
Last week we talked about the third part of the Far Greater Story - Redemption! Did you know that God is a rescuer? He will stop at nothing to rescue us. That’s what redemption is all about! God sent His Son Jesus to earth to rescue us from sin and death. Jesus lived the perfect life, a life that we are incapable of living. And, when Jesus died on the cross, He paid the penalty of our sin. When He came back to life three days later, Jesus defeated death for us. Because of what He did, we can be forgiven and live in a relationship with God forever. This is the ultimate rescue!
As Lightgliders, we have the awesome responsibility of going on missions to rescue the Gliddles from danger. We put on armor, glide into the Yonders, and free them from the toxic blight and the control of the Machines. Rescuing others from dangerous situations requires courage and strength of character. Remember that!
If you’ve ever made a truly selfish decision or disobeyed God’s standards in any way, then you need to be rescued. The hard truth is that we all have done this. We all need to be rescued from our sin, which separates us from God, causes pain to others, and destroys our lives.
Through Jesus, God rescues us from sin and death! And, as our theme verse tells us, through the power of the Holy Spirit we can point others to Jesus and pray that God rescues them!
Glide on!
