Lesson 9.3
God Judges His People: Gideon
Judges 6-8
This week, we continue examining the judges of
the Old Testament with Gideon. Gideon was an unlikely judge. When God called
him, he was afraid and was unsure if he could be used by God. God proved to
Gideon, and the Israelites, that He is strong enough and that He is the One
Israel should depend on.
The Israelites
cried out to God because they knew they could not save themselves. Even Gideon
was not enough to save them; God used Gideon to save His people, but God fought
the battle for them. The people needed someone who was mighty to save. Jesus
Christ came to save us from sin because we cannot save ourselves. Only God,
through Christ, can save us.
Help your kids see that God uses our weaknesses
for His glory.
