Knowing God: Lesson 2

Dear Parents,

This week we continued our three-week study on God’s knowability. This week’s lesson was a great lesson. I hope your student enjoyed it!

This week, the lesson was entitled “Knowing God.” It focused on helping teenagers understand that Jesus is the ultimate picture of who God is, and by knowing Jesus we can truly know God. We challenged teenagers to begin to look deeper into Jesus’ life and ministry to get to know Him better.

We looked at the following scripture passages:

• Hebrews 1:1-3
• John 3:2
• John 6:66-69

You’ll enjoy reading these powerful passages that show is that Jesus is the ultimate picture of who God is.


Next Steps...

During the next week as you have time to talk with your teenager, share with him or her from your experience what it means to know Jesus. So many Christians know facts about Jesus, but they don’t truly know Him because they don’t have a relationship with Him.
Once you have shared about what it means to know Jesus from your experience, Ask your student to share from his or her experience.
Then, spend some time praying for each other that God would give you both a deeper desire to know Jesus better.

Thanks being such a positive influence in your teenager’s life. If you have any questions about anything, please don’t hesitate to call me.
