Look back: Look back over Hebrews 7:23-25 and remember Jesus Christ as our eternal High Priest, intercedes on our behalf, providing salvation to the uttermost—fully and forever—by shielding us from both God's judgment and the enemy's accusations. 

Look ahead: This coming Sunday, we will be in Hebrews 7:26-28. Read the passage during the week with your family. 

Ask: Why is the sinless of Jesus important to his priesthood?

Pray: Praise God for Jesus' perfect sinless life, by which he became our perfect priest forever.

FAMILY TALKING POINTS

CHRIST CONNECTION

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

• Babies & Toddlers: If we believe in Jesus and follow Him, we will be saved from our sin and live with Him forever.
• Younger Preschool: Joshua and Caleb believed God, and God let them go into the Promised Land. God wants us to believe Him and trust in His Son, Jesus. He will save us from our sins, and we will live with Him forever.
• Older Preschool: Joshua and Caleb believed the words God had spoken, and they were allowed to enter the Promised Land. If we believe the words that God has spoken about Jesus and choose to follow Him, we will be saved from our sin and will be with Him forever.
• Kids: Joshua and Caleb believed the words that God had spoken, and they were eventually allowed to enter the Promised Land. The people who did not believe would die in the wilderness. If we believe the words God has spoken about Jesus and place our faith in Him, we will be saved from our sin and will enter the new heaven and new earth.
