Bible Question:
I'm looking for a simple way to explain this verse to middle school students. I'm looking at breaking it down over the course of a few lessons. Any thoughts? |
Bible Answer: Just out of curiosity, what does, 'come to the Father' means? Ask a class full of kids this question and your answers will very. Mostly around 'getting into heaven', 'getting to know God', and so on. To keep this whole thing simple; Jesus was saying that the only way this is possible, is THROUGH ME. Not through doing good works, or being good. Not through simply studying the bible, "You carefully study the scriptures because you THINK that they give you enternal life. Those are the same scriptures that tell about me. But you refuse to come to me to have that life." Jesus is the Way we must follow; He is the Truth we must accept; He is the Life we must live and hope to live. There is no other way to obtain God's merit; There is no other way to get into heaven; There is no other way to come to know God the Father, except through God the Son. Unfortnatly I can not simplify this more than that. I hope this helps in some way. |
