My Identity in Jesus My Identity in Jesus Jesus

Did you know that when you become friends with Jesus he gives you a new identity? You’re a member of God’s Kingdom and with the help of the Holy Spirit, you now have the power to follow Jesus’ way of living.

I Am… FREE

B

efore we become friends with Jesus, our instinct is to do what we want when we want. And that doesn’t always end well.

However, when we choose to follow Jesus, something inside us changes as described in John 8:34–36. Jesus’ friendship gives us the freedom and power to make the right choices in life. This means we don’t have to focus on negative stuff such as our mistakes or the things we nd dif cult. Instead, we can trust that God loves us and because he’s given us his Holy Spirit, we now have the power to live our lives the best way possible. We are free to love Jesus and to love others too.

Every day this week, tell yourself ‘I am free’. This will help God’s truth stay in your heart. Use the chart below to help remind you and tick each day once you’re done.

Spectacular Supernovas

A supernova is the super-powerful explosion of a star. A star is held together by two opposite forces. Gravity tries to squeeze the star into the smallest, tightest ball possible. However, the nuclear fuel burning in the star’s core creates a strong outward pressure. This outward push and inward squeeze create a balance.

When a massive star runs out of fuel, it cools. This causes the outward pressure to drop. Gravity wins! The star quickly collapses and the shock waves cause a mega explosion. These spectacular events can be so bright they can be seen across the universe!
