Whitewashed Tombs

Dear parents,

During our third week of our four-lesson series titled “The Controversial Jesus,” we examined a time when Jesus referred to a group of religious leaders as “whitewashed tombs."

This lesson helped us see the importance of being sure that our hearts and actions match up. We cannot claim to be a follower of Christ and then live a life that contradicts who we say we are. This sometimes happens in teen friendships, where someone will seem to be a friend, but it turns out they were never really a teenager’s friend in the first place. It’s a tough topic to address when it happens, but we pray that this lesson helps prepare our students for those moments.

As you go throughout the week, help reinforce this teaching in your teenager’s life by asking these kinds of questions as you have the opportunity:
  • Why does God hate hypocrisy?
  • When people choose to live their lives this way, does it just affect them? Or can it also affect those closest to them? What do you think?
  • Knowing that God is incredibly generous with his grace, how can you offer grace to someone this week?

We hope you're having an amazing week!
