Family Discussion Questions:
Younger and Older:
Why did the Old Testament priests not get to do their work forever? Why then can Jesus continue His work for us forever?
Will God hear your prayers because of what you've done for Him or because of what Jesus did for you?
Why is it better to have a relationship with God based on His promise instead of having a relationship with God based on how good you are?
Deeper Discussion:
If the Law of God was useless to bring us to God, what was it's purpose?
Christians too are tempted to relate to God according to the Law instead of by the Gospel. What does that mean?
Why do Christians keep the Law of God even though we do not draw near to God by it?

How does knowing that Christ saves you to the uttermost help you to: Draw near to God? Turn from all sin? Humble yourself?
