do when someone hurts them? What do you do when someone hurt
you?
6. Jesus in verse 39 suggests that instead of retaliation or “pay back

time”, there is a better way. What did Jesus teach us regarding this
“pay back time”?

you think it means?
10. The Golden Rule can be found in verse 12:

Lesson 6 – Why did Jesus have to die?

(The reason for Jesus’ death and resurrection)
Objectives
- In this lesson you will discover God‟s solution to the problem of sin
without compromising His love for sinners and the holiness of His own
character.
- You will also discover the reason why Jesus had to die and rise again.
Previous Lesson
 In the previous lesson we learnt about God‟s attitude towards sin and
towards the sinner. Before we move on to look at God‟s solution to the
problem of sin, is there any questions, doubts or comments that you
may have about the previous lesson?
Study Questions
 Jesus died in order to bear the penalty of sinners
1. According to Leviticus 17:11 and Hebrews 9:22, how can forgiveness

of sin be granted?
2. Read Leviticus 22:21. In the Old Testament, God demands a perfect

animal for sacrifice, without defect or blemish. Why do you think He
demands such sacrifice?
3. In the Old Testament, the people of Israelites were required to obey

the law perfectly. However, because they could not keep it perfectly,
they have to make regular sacrifices for their shortcomings. They
had to do this again and again because an animal is just not able to
serve as a perfect atonement for human‟s life.

However, the good news is that God has prepared a perfect sacrifice
for us. Read the following verses and write down what you discover.
a. Ephesians 5:2, Romans 3:25

b. Hebrews 4:15

d. 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 2:2

____________________________________________________
____________________________________________________
4. Read Romans 5:8. Why did Jesus want to become the sacrifice to
God for us?
 The reason for Jesus’ resurrection
5. Read John 1:1-2, 14 and Romans 1:4

What is the reason for Jesus‟ resurrection according to those
verses?

6. Read also Colossians 1:19-23 and Ephesians 1:19-22. What is the

reason for Jesus‟ resurrection according to those verses?
7. In 1 Peter 1:3-5, we can read that “God has given us a new birth to a
living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.” What do you
think it means by this living hope?
(Read also 1 Corinthians 15:20-23)
Jesus has gone all the way from Heaven to earth to die for us, to atone for
our sin. Share in your own words how this particular knowledge has impacted
your heart. Share your response or reaction, if there is any, to what you have
learnt from this lesson.
Key Verses
Romans 5:8 (NIV)

8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners,
Christ died for us.
Next Lesson
In the next lesson you will see how this relates to you personally:
(a) We will see how that:
 You can receive forgiveness for sins
 You can receive eternal life
 You can become a follower of Jesus Christ
(b) Jesus‟ words to consider before looking at these possibilities:
 His invitation should be accepted – Luke 14:15-24
 Before accepting an invitation of Jesus, one should think deeply
about it. Luke 14:25-33, i.e., the first place in life must be given to
Jesus and this requires, if needed, a willingness to suffer for Christ.

Lesson 7 – Jesus Christ and You

(How can you receive salvation?)
Objectives

Jesus Christ.

as possible. The decision is totally yours.
- It is our prayer that God will continue to reveal Himself to you in a
personal way, that you will be able to know Him personally, and accept
Him as your personal saviour and Lord.

do not follow God‟s will.
10. Faith expresses itself in a number of ways

a. You must confess your sins to God – Rom 3:23, 1 John 1:9
b. You must repent of that sin, i.e., turn from that sin to Jesus –
Luke 13:3, Acts 26:17-20
c. You must receive Jesus, i.e. , commit your life to Him – John
3:16, John 1:12
d. Lastly, you must in faith, confess that Jesus is the new Lord of

salvation and clear instruction as to how you can receive salvation.

- It is our prayer that God will continue to reveal Himself to you in a
personal way, that you will be able to know Him personally, and accept
Him as your personal saviour and Lord.
Previous Lesson
In the previous lesson, you were presented with God‟s salvation plan for us
through Jesus Christ. Is there any thing that you want to ask or comment
before going on to this lesson‟s study?
Discussions
 Jesus Christ’s invitation to you.
1. Jesus told the Parable of the Lost Son in Luke 15:11-24.
a. In this parable, who does the father represent?
b. In this parable, who does the younger son represent?
c. What did the younger son do to deserve his father‟s forgiveness?

2. Read Titus 3:3-7.
Why does God want to save us? How does He save us?
3. Jesus told the Parable of the Great Banquet in Luke 14:15-24.
The master in the parable depicts Jesus inviting people into His
banquet. But the people made excuses for not accepting the
invitation.
In the previous lesson, you have learnt the invitation that Jesus
offers with regards to salvation. In order to receive salvation, we
have to accept His invitation. If you have not accepted His invitation,
is there any particular reason why you have not done so?

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Conclusion
In the past eight lessons, you have learnt and studied about the life and the
work of Jesus Christ. You have read about His power over nature, and His
power to do miracles. You have learnt about His hatred toward sin and His
love towards sinners. You have studied about His death and His resurrection,
and their significance to God‟s salvation plan.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, be assured that
that is the best decision in your life. As you began your journey walking and
growing in the Lord, we hope that you will continue to learn from His Word
and will continue to fellowship with your brothers and sisters in Christ to grow
together and to encourage each other in love and unity. It is our prayer that
God, through His Holy Spirit will continue to strengthen you in your walk with
Christ through the good and tough times. It is also our prayer that you will let
the people that you love – your friends, family members, colleagues – that
have not known about Jesus about this new relationship that you have with
Jesus. May you make God famous in all you do!
If, however, you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, be
assured that you have made the right decision to know and learn about
Jesus. With this knowledge in your mind, my prayer is that someday, through
some occasion or some circumstance in your life, God will touch your life and
the knowledge you now have in your mind will become a conviction in your
heart that Jesus is the way to God. We hope that you continue to seek Him
personally in your daily life, and we trust that God will honour your journey
and will reward your with a true and fresh revelation about Himself one day.
Finally, it has been our privilege to journey with you in learning about Jesus.
We trust that His Word that has been spoken and shared to you will not return
void. As Jesus said in Luke 8:18 - “However, when the Son of Man comes,
will He find faith on the earth?” – It is our prayer that He will indeed find faith
on the earth – in our hearts – yours and mine. Amen
