The Sacrifice of Isaac, by Cigoli, 1607. Oil on Canvas at the Galleria Palatina, Florence. The Conversion of St. Paul, by Caravaggio around 1600. Oil on cypress wood, Odescalchi Balbi Collection, Rome The Lesson for Sunday, January 7th is titled "Be Free!" Key Verse: John 8:31-32 Focus of the Lesson: Human beings often seek help when trying to free themselves from destructive behavioral patterns. What source of help is available to us when we seek freedom from sin? John says that we are made free in Jesus, who is from above. The reading is John 8:31-38, 48-56, 58-59 This text is from the New International Version®. Background Scripture: John 8:31-59 31To
the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching,
you are really my disciples. 32Then
you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
48The Jews answered him,
"Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and
demon-possessed?" 58"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" 59At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds. | ||
