Look back: Look back over Hebrews 7:11-14 and remember the Levitical priesthood is insufficient for salvation, necessitating a new, eternal priesthood in Christ.

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we will be in Hebrews 7:15 and following. Read the passage during the week with your family. 

Ask: What applications in your own life come to mind when thinking about the resurrection of Jesus?

Pray: Praise God for the resurrection of Jesus.

From Sunday School January 12: 

CHRIST CONNECTION

This is the big idea of how this week’s Bible story points to Jesus.

• Babies & Toddlers: The people chose to sin, and Moses asked God to forgive them. When we choose to sin, we can pray and ask Jesus to forgive us. Jesus came to rescue us from sin.
• Younger Preschool: The people were wrong to worship a golden calf. Moses asked God to forgive them. When we do wrong, we can pray and ask Jesus to forgive us. Jesus died and came back to life to rescue us from our sins.
• Older Preschool: The people chose to sin when they worshiped the golden calf. Moses asked God to forgive their sin. When we choose to sin we can pray and ask Jesus to forgive us. Jesus died on the cross and came back to life to rescue us from sin.
• Kids: The people chose to worship a golden calf instead of God, and God’s anger burned against them. Moses interceded so that God would forgive them. We are all sinners who deserve the wrath of God, but Jesus interceded for us through His life, death, and resurrection so we can all be saved!
