FOLLOWUP | Living Like a Follower of Jesus (Ephesians 5:1-17)

Dear parents,

We’re continuing our three-lesson study on sharing Jesus with others. The first lesson focused on why we share Jesus with others and what God’s Word has to say about it. This week’s lesson focused on living like a follower of Jesus. We talked about God’s desire for us to lead lives that imitate and reflect Christ, and how this is one of the most powerful ways to share Jesus with friends and point friends to Jesus. 

As you go throughout the week, help reinforce this teaching in your teenager’s life by asking the following questions as you have the opportunity:

• How is the idea of imitating a famous person similar to the goal of imitating Jesus? How is it different?
• How do we recognize the best time to share our faith with a friend? How do we know it’s the right opportunity, not an awkward time or an ineffective time to share?
• How can you make the most of every opportunity to be like Jesus?

​Have a blessed week!
