Oct 23: Jesus Stays on the Cross
Bible Passage: Galatians 5:22, Matthew 26:47-56; 27:32-44
Big Idea: Self-Control is a fruit of the Spirit
Leader Context: Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit. In Matthew 26:47- 27:44, we see Jesus hung on a cross. Although he has the power to come down from the cross, and people taunt him to prove he’s really God by getting himself down, Jesus shows self-control and stays on the cross. Jesus knows he has to die for us, so he uses self-control. This fruit of the Spirit is hard for lots of us, especially kids. Frustration can build up as we develop this skill. Self-control is a skill we build over time. Think about a time that showing self-control was hardest for you. Share this and think of ways you can support each other as your grow in all the fruits of the Spirit.
