Lesson 4 The Importance of Seeing Jesus!
Questions 1 and 2
Greetings friend, welcome back to the mentorship course.
In the last lesson, we noted the three things that we should be doing when we mentor students.
Question 1. What three things are we to do when we respond to the lessons our students submit?

Yes, we are to 1) share our story (identify with the student), 2) give the gospel (at least once, preferably more), and 3) pray for your student.
Again, there is no specified order to do the above things, just pray about it and include each of the three somewhere in each lesson. As you learn to ask questions and listen well to the answers, you'll know where to share your story, where to share the gospel and where to pray for your students.
Consider how you personally wash at the cross and how it affects your own heart. Consider how that leads you to walk by the Spirit so that you don't gratify the lusts of your flesh. Consider how you are receiving (and possibly refining) the plan God gives you to war against your flesh. These are the things you want to share with your student.
Today, I want us to consider the reason for sharing the gospel with our students, and then the fun part comes where you'll have a chance to answer a sample student.
The reason we share the gospel comes from the following passages:
Isaiah 45:22 NLT Let all the world look to me for salvation! For I am God; there is no other. Numbers 21:7-9 NLT Then the people came to Moses and cried out, “We have sinned by speaking against the LORD and against you. Pray that the LORD will take away the snakes.” So Moses prayed for the people. (8) Then the LORD told him, “Make a replica of a poisonous snake and attach it to a pole. All who are bitten will live if they simply look at it!” (9) So Moses made a snake out of bronze and attached it to a pole. Then anyone who was bitten by a snake could look at the bronze snake and be healed! John 3:14-15 NIV Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, (15) that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him." 2 Corinthians 3:15-18 NIV Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. (16) But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. (17) Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. (18) And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. Question 2. What do the above verses have in common, and what are they teaching us to do?
