In this lesson, circle or underline the name Jesus uses for God. What does this reveal and how does it affect Believers?
1. How would you describe someone as being great? What do you observe about Jesus' description?
But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for
it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. (Matt 5:34-35, ESV)
At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from
the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; (Matt 11:25, ESV)
2. While answering the greatest commandment of God, what does Jesus reveal about Him?
And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well,
asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of all?" Jesus answered, "The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the
Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'"
(Mark 12:27-29, ESV)
3. In response to the Sadducees, who did not believe in the resurrection of the dead, what does Jesus call God and what does He reveal?
But Jesus answered them, "You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the
resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not
read what was said to you by God: 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not God of the dead, but of the
living." (Matt 22:29-32, ESV)
4. What do you observe about Jesus' name for God? How does this affect Believers?
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you
will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. (Luke 6:35-36, ESV)
5. Facing the prospect of death to pay for the penalty of sin for all of mankind, Jesus makes a personal appeal to God. What do you observe
of His relationship to God?
And he said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what
you will." (Mark 14:36, ESV)
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God,
my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matt 27:46, ESV)
