Step 3 of “Recognize God’s Ways” asserts that “God may use unexpected means” to reach us. Incredibly, according to Isaiah 53:4-6, the “arm of the LORD” was purposely sacrificed. Man’s ways intended harm, but God used the result to bring salvation to many (Genesis 50:20).Write the word altruism in large letters and ask members what the word means. What is the give and what’s the gain in this “give to gain” situation, or this one? Can you identify sacrifices made by others (they willing give up something they value) for your benefit? A parent? A friend? A co-worker? A doctor? A nurse? A peace officer? Make a list of the sacrifices (objects of value) as members call them out.
Idle question: would you give up a kidney to save the life of someone you love?
