Loving To The End... Learning Along The Way

John was amazed that Jesus loved them to the end.
Jesus models love by washing their feet, then commands them to
love one another as He has loved them.
Jesus models right actions flowing out of right thinking. (John
13:3)
If we don’t know who we are (identity), where we are heading
(destiny), and what we are about (purpose/mission), we will
falter in teaching our kids who they are.
There is still a snake in the garden; if he can’t take you out,
he will attempt to render you ineffective. He is at work in
culture, influencing our kids with his lies.
We must teach our kids after learning ourselves:
- You are uniquely made in your mother’s womb, a special creation
of God.
- You are made in the image of God to reflect His likeness.
- God created them male and female to reflect His character. Our
genders are to be celebrated rather than attempting to change
them.
- Sin entered the picture with confusion and pain. Many are
confused about God’s design, but you don’t have to be.
- As a Christ follower, He gives you a new life and clears the
confusion by renewing your mind with His truth.

1. Have you come to terms with Jesus’ love for you even through
your mess?
2. Is there something you have said like Peter to Jesus: “never
will you…”?
3. How do Jesus’s words affect you: “you have no part with me
unless…”?
4. Does His love really motivate the way you live? Do you love
Him with a willingness to obey Him?
5. Do you have a “biblical world view” being trained by the Word
versus the culture? How is the Word of God renewing your thinking
and leading in right living?
