Lesson Overview - Sunday 7-19
This week, we continue our Bible study called This is Jesus. The point of this lesson is to encourage students to magnify God in the same way that Mary did. As they examine the praise exhibited when Mary thanks God for His provision of the Messiah, they will be able to better understand their relationship to God as well.
Lesson Overview: In the fullness of time, God spoke to Mary to tell her she would be the mother of His Son, the Messiah. When Mary was told about God’s plan, she believed it. She praised Him for what He would do for humanity. Her “song” of praise expressed love for God, faith in His promises, and joy in His redemptive plan for humanity. Students will aim to understand Mary’s reasons for praising God, and reflect on their own view of God.
What we want students to learn: That Mary’s song of praise (The Magnificat) identifies some key traits of God.
What we want students to do with what they’ve learned: Praise God for choosing to love them and use them to share His love with others.
Scripture Passages We’ll Study: Luke 1:26-56.
Please Take A Few Minutes This Week To Read These Passages.
Next Steps...
During the next week, as you engage in conversations with your student, remember that one way that will help them to understand and apply what they have learned is to explain it to someone else. Use the following questions to guide your conversation:
• What does Mary’s song tell us about the arrival of Jesus and God’s faithfulness?
• How can you praise God the way Mary did?
• What interesting things did you learn about the Magnificat during your lesson?
