Lesson 2

The New Testament Provides an Account of God’s Saving Actions

Jesus came to seek out the lost and offer them forgiveness and salvation from sin.

Lesson Vocabulary

  • Forgive
    :
    To forgive is to let go of anger towards someone who has harmed you. It can also mean to cancel a debt someone owes you.
  • Corporal Works of Mercy
    :
    Jesus taught us that we must love our neighbor by performing Corporal (and Spiritual) Works of Mercy. Corporal means “of the body.” The corporal works of mercy help us meet a person’s physical needs. They are: feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, visit the sick, visit the imprisoned, and bury the dead.
  • Spiritual Works of Mercy
    :
    The Spiritual Works of Mercy are loving actions taught to us by Christ that help us meet the needs of a person’s soul. They are: instruct the ignorant, counsel the doubtful, admonish sinners, bear wrongs patiently, forgive offenses willingly, comfort the afflicted, and pray for the living and the dead.
  • Good Shepherd
    :
    A title for Jesus taken from the parable of the lost sheep (Luke 15:1-7). We are like the sheep in the parable. Sin has caused us to go astray and become lost. But Jesus, who is like the shepherd, comes to us sinners. He seeks us out and invites us to receive salvation and be restored to God’s family.
