RESTORED Lesson Summary
RESTORED - Week 2 - What else died on Jesus' cross? (It wasn't just Jesus!)
Summary
- The cross is explained as more than Jesus dying physically; the believer's old life and debt of sin were also dealt with there.
- Jesus carried grief, sorrow, transgression, guilt, shame, and punishment so believers do not have to keep carrying them.
- The believer is invited to reckon the old self dead and to live from union with Christ instead of bondage to the past.
- The lesson emphasizes that sin's legal claim has been canceled, not merely postponed.
- Freedom is received by faith and then practiced by agreeing with what God says happened through Christ.
- The cross becomes the place where shame loses authority and a restored life begins.
