fully God.

Yet Jesus, like man, was tempted by selfishness (v.3),

(2 Corinthians 5:21)

Jesus shared in our humanity so he could free us from fear and
help us when we are tempted.

relate to us.

Jesus compassionately met people's needs (vss.29-33). Prayer
was a top priority for him (v. 35). He was intent on his
purpose (v.38).
F. Luke 23:32-43
Jesus, like God, is forgiving anf iflled with love.
3. 1 John 2:3-6 The goal of the Christian is to live like Jesus. This
must be our purpose if we are to be Christians.
4. John 14:6
A. The Way-exclusive, not just a way, but the only way to God
B. The Truth-not just some truth, but the whol truth of God
C. The Life-not just another alternative, but the life we were
created to live: an attractive, successful and fulfilling life
D. Acts 4:12: This decision is the most important decision of your
life
