Jesus is not only the Good Shepherd who leads and protects—He is the Shepherd who laid down His life to gather every one of His sheep. From eternity past, the Father gave Him a people, and Jesus came to seek, save, and never lose even one. This lesson explores the Shepherd’s deep love and fierce commitment to His flock—how He pursues the lost, heals the wounded, gathers the scattered, and carries His own forever. We are the sheep of His pasture, and in His voice, care, and sacrifice, we find our peace, our purpose, and our place.
Christ Died: For Us to Die to Sin (1 Peter 2:24)
Jesus bore our sins on the cross not so we could remain in them—but so we could die to them and live for righteousness. 1 Peter 2:24 reminds us that by His wounds, we are healed—healed from the deadly disease of sin, and empowered to walk in newness of life. This lesson unpacks the transformative power of Christ’s death: how He healed our deepest wounds, freed us from sin’s grip, and calls us to a life marked by righteousness. Dying to sin is not a one-time act—it’s a lifelong journey of becoming more like Him.
