May 4, Everlasting Punishment
This week’s Bible Lesson gently reorients our view from retribution to reformation. Rather than presenting God as a condemning force, the texts reveal divine Love at work—awakening, correcting, and redeeming. Jesus’ life illustrates that true discipline is not about shame or fear, but about uncovering what is real and good. This lesson helps us see that sin loses its grip not through suffering, but through the steady light of spiritual understanding. In this light, punishment is not something inflicted, but a turning—a deep shift of thought that frees us to live more fully in alignment with God.
