Consistent with our 2023 theme, “being salt and light to the world”, this study will explore our Lord and Savior, Jesus as the perfect example of being salt and light. The discussion-rich class will investigate various attributes of Jesus in the Bible in an attempt to better understand him and apply His example to our lives. Each class has value as a stand-alone lesson; however, building a more complete picture of Jesus will require consistent participation. 1 Peter 2:21 says “For this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example so that you might follow in his steps”.
