Series Overview
The best gift we can ever receive is our salvation! To explore how valuable this gift truly is, this holiday season, we’ll spend four weeks unwrapping four names of Jesus!! Last year, we explored Jesus as Messiah, Lord of Lords, and Immanuel. This year, we’re unwrapping Jesus being the Light of the World, the Lion of Judah, the Prince of Peace, and the Good Shepherd.
Lesson Overview
We first see the house of Judah described as a lion in Genesis 49:8-12. Revelation 5:5-6 brings the imagery full circle and confirms it as a description of Jesus.
Jesus isn’t an actual lion but at times He acts like a lion—
- Jesus is BIGGER than anything we face in this world!
- Jesus can seem scary to those who work against Him and he defeats His enemies!
- Jesus defeated death and sin and is coming back one day—we can trust His protection!
