Last night at Youth Group we wrapped up a 3 1/2 part series entitled “Baby?”. The original plan had been to take the 4 weeks in December that we’d have Group and look at the 4 different pictures of Jesus that we are given in the Gospels. I say that it was only a 3 1/2 part series because of the snow that shut us down for one week in the beginning of the month.
As a culmination to this series last night we presented the Gospel and asked for those there to make a decision. What a Night!!! 2 students responded to Gospel and asked Jesus to be Lord and Savior in their lives. It was awesome! Not only did I do some speaking on Luke and John’s Gospel we had two other students share during the lesson. One, gave some background and context for John 3:14-17 and the other share her testimony and what Jesus means to her.
Perhaps the best part of the night was when I went to follow up with one of the students that committed his life to Jesus. As we were talking about it he mentioned that he had been hearing one of his friends talk about Jesus whenever they were around (This friend is the same guy that gave us the context of John 3). Apparently Trenton has been telling people about Jesus wherever he goes and Lance has always been around to hear what was said.
I’m not sure I can any more proud of Trenton at this point. A Junior in high school who has made a decision to be salt and light wherever he goes, and the Lord has used that in great ways. Merry Christmas!
Below are the 4 pictures of Jesus from the Gospels, if you’re interested.
Matthew–King
Mark–Suffering Servant
Luke–Human
John–God
