Good afternoon!
Today in class, we discussed different things since 215 is ahead of 208 due to buddies and field day meetings. Here's a quick recap of a few important notes regarding Chapter 8:
- The infancy narratives include some similar, yet different stories.
In regards to Jesus in the Temple, reflect on ALL these questions but select one to reply to this post (please restate the question, with your answer below it). Please read each other's responses.
1. Since Jesus was already the Son of God, why did he have to "grow" in understanding and wisdom? (2:40, 52)
2. How do you evaluate Jesus' carelessness in not going home with his parents when they left Jerusalem? (2:43-44) Was Jesus at fault or his parents?
3. Why was Jesus so engrossed in the Temple? (2:46-49) How was this interaction with Jerusalem's top teachers important for his own development? How did this represent something that was absolutely necessary for him to do? How did this relate to his calling?
4. Why was it important for Jesus -- and for us -- to grow "in favor with God and men" (2:52)? How is our relationship with people vital to our spiritual growth?
Homework:
1. Complete the top of the chart from the Infancy Narratives worksheet.
2. Watch the short video below for discussion tomorrow. (You do not need to reply to this post). You need to know what "contradict" means ahead of time. Look it up.
3. Reply to this post by Thursday (midnight) reflecting on one of the four questions above.
4. Create a timeline of all the stories from the Matthew and Luke narratives. First, it's best to prewrite/ brainstorm your list before you actually begin charting it so you know the order. Below you will see just three examples of some timelines I found online (not related to the infancy narratives). They are boring and don't include pictures, but the format is for you to get the idea. The fourth example would get extra credit for going over and beyond my expectations. You do not need dates, just the order and labeling of the Gospels.
To get an "A", here's what I'm looking for:
1. All twelve stories from both Gospels (the Canticles, the circumcision, and the geneology do not need to be included).
2. An icon that represents each event (no two icons can be the same).
3. Clear labeling of each story that it either belongs to Matthew or Luke
4. NEATNESS and color! No pencil. God didn't create the world in black and white.
5. A creative and logical format that is easy for the reader to follow the events.
6. All fit on one page.
7. Effort and care.
