****Sparks
Highlights**** These weeks of Sparks we have been learning
about salvation – our Bible heroes and their lives are pictures of Jesus. They were saved or were used by God to save
someone else. We learned that Christmas
was when Jesus – God’s Son, God in human form – came to earth in human flesh as
a baby. Last week, for Valentine’s Day
we talked about God’s love for us that He gave us that gift of Jesus that when
we believe on Him, we can have everlasting life. That gift of love took the punishment of our
sin, which was death. He was and is our salvation from the
punishment of our sin. Tonight, and for
the rest of the Sparkie year, we are learning about who Jesus is and why He is
the One who is fit to take that punishment and to claim He is God in the flesh,
to claim why He is the One and Only One that can grant us salvation. Specifically, tonight, we are looking at
Jesus’ character of Holiness. He was
tempted to sin, yet did not. He could
not take the punishment for our sin if He Himself was a sinner as He would be
no different that you and me. Indeed,
we are not perfect as Jesus to never sin, but we can use His example to help us
try not to sin. Jesus was tempted three
times in Matthew Chapter 4, and each of those three times, He used the help of
His Father God to resist the temptation.
Those words He quoted were words of His Father, and you know, we have
those same words in scripture. That is
why it is so important to learn God’s words, memorize scripture. These verses your Sparkie works on every week
are the words of God! We hide those words in our hearts that we
might not sin against God.
