Big Question Who is Jesus? Why can I trust Jesus? Why do I need Jesus? How can Jesus help me when I mess up?

What does Jesus want me to do?

Big Answer Jesus is God’s Son and when I meet up with Him, I discover how much God loves me.

I can look up to Jesus and ask His help because He is trustworthy.

Jesus’ death and resurrection make it possible for me to join up with Him and be part of God’s family.

When I open up to Jesus about my sin, He forgives me and helps me make a fresh start.

Jesus wants me to know and love Him and get fired up about sharing Him with others.

Bible Verse "This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him."(1 John 4:9)

"When I am afraid, I will trust in you."(Psalm 56:3)

"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"(John 14:6)

"The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him."(Daniel 9:9)

"Go and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always."(Matthew 28:19-20)
