3 Start typing your answers in the boxes provided. The box will increase in size if necessary. 1. A description of Jesus and the impact of his life on others that you have developed from classwork This question is asking about the relationship that Jesus had with the people around him and how he changed their lives. It should have evidence supported from scripture. At least one reference. (About 100 words) Jesus was a very wise and patient man. He was revolutionary in his way of thinking, often going against what the church taught at the time. He was accepting and loving, letting anyone into his life who was pure of heart and repented for their wrongs, Matthew 9:33 After the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel. He did not judge others, and did not discriminate. He did not waver in his faith, and fought for what he believed in. He was a teacher, doing his best to teach everyone who was willing to listen. He did his best to make those around him better people. Luke 6:17 He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon. 2. The Jesus characteristics which you can identify in the character of Patch Adams as portrayed in the video Complete the table. Give 5 examples Jesus Characteristic Loving Inclusive Influential Went against order and authority Healed people How was it shown in the movie patch Adams (Describe the scene) Patch Adams was loving towards everybody. He established the clinic to help those in need. Even towards his roommate, who despised him, he still managed to show care and love. Patch Adams wanted to treat each patient as a person, and did not discriminate based on disease or injury. Patch Adams demonstrated a strong pull for people, drawing in followers from his colleagues to setup his hospital. Also having a massive impact on those he treated in the hospital. Patch Adams stood for what he believed was the best way to treat patients, and fought for what he believed in, even though it went against teaching in the hospital. Patch Adams perceived his life of having the purpose of healing people. He wanted to become a doctor to heal those in need. Scriptural reference John 11 The Death of Lazarus Famous verse Jesus wept. It shows he felt emotion and attachment, and especially love Matthew 8:1 Jesus Cleanses a leper Matthew 13 The Parable of the Sower This is the famous parable where a crowd of over 5000 gathered to listen to him. Matthew 15:1-3 The tradition of the elders This is where Jesus defies and goes against what the Pharisee s see as tradition Matthew 8:5 Jesus heals a centurion s servant Typical story of Jesus

4 healing someone. Particularly a centurion s servant shows that he did not discriminate based on job or status. 3. Comparison of a contemporary representation of Jesus qualities with the traditional, scriptural representation Find a contemporary person/ group who embodies the Jesus characteristics and how does it compare with the traditional scriptural representation. A simple compare and contrast here is all that you need to do, although the representation needs to be justified. (About 100 words) Red-Cross This group endeavors as its main purpose to help those in need. It is a non-for-profit organization, which means they don t seek to make whole lots of money. Just like Jesus, who did not strive for self-glorification, but instead lived to help those who were worse off. Like this organization, Jesus took people in, and cared for them from an otherwise more unfortunate life. This organization doesn t discriminate between people who have nothing, and people who are simply struggling, much like Jesus, people could seek Jesus for consolidation no matter who you are and where you come from. 4. Jesus universal message and use current evidence to indicate how it is relevant for our lives today Choose the universal message of Jesus ministry and explain, with detail, how your life today reflects that message. (About 100 words) Mark 12:31 The second is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus teachings are relevant as it comes back to the saying do unto others as you would want done unto you. It essentially encapsulates the whole idea of treating others fairly. In today s society people are selfish and self-driven, with very little concern for those around them. If people today kept this in mind, it would not only lead to happier lives for themselves, but it would leave an impact on those around them. With Jesus commandment, the lives of many people would be happier. As Jesus wrote, love your neighbor as yourself, we should do our best to help those in need. In correlation with the Jesus words, a modern interpretation can be summed up with, to put yourself in someone else s shoes. If society took the time to understand other people and their experiences, many perspectives would be changed.
