2 UPPER PRIMARY Lesson 8 The signs of life Luke 9:18 22; 44 45; 51 Lesson aim To help students to understand that Jesus miracles point to who he is and what he came to do die and rise again to save us from our sin! Lesson outcomes Students will learn about: how Peter recognised that Jesus was God s promised king how Jesus must suffer, die and rise again because he is the Messiah. Students will learn to: acknowledge that Jesus miracles point to who he is and what he came to do recognise that Jesus came to die on the cross and rose again to save us from our sin. While the Apostles now knew that Jesus was the Messiah, they didn t yet understand that the Messiah must suffer, be rejected and killed (9:22; 45). The fact that Jesus talked about these events before they happened reveals that not only did Jesus have power over the death of others (see Lesson 7), he also had power over the future and over his own death. Jesus knew what needed to be done so his followers could be forgiven by God and live forever with him. Death could not defeat Jesus! He would rise to life on the third day after he died. His death would be as real as any but his death would not be final! He would rise once and for all, conquering death and releasing those who had faith in him from death s power. Readers are now grasping who Jesus is and what he came to do for all of us! Memory verse Sin pays off with death. But God s gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23 (CEV)» Bible background This passage marks a significant turning point in Luke s Gospel. Up to now the focus has been on Jesus ministry in Galilee and the surrounding areas. However with Peter s confession that Jesus was the Messiah sent from God, Jesus set out for Jerusalem to achieve what he came to do secure salvation for his people (9:51). It was on this journey that Jesus taught his disciples about what would happen to him when they reached their destination (Luke 9:22; 44; 18:31 33). 74 connect teacher s manual

It points us to something else.) Hand out the Match the sign activity sheets from page 82. Ask the students to match the sign with its corresponding partner. Signs are helpful and important because they usually point to something we need to know. ow, Jesus has done lots of amazing things and they look very impressive. But it s more important to know what they point to! Before we get to our next chapter of our Super Saviour Bible comic, let s remind ourselves of what we ve learned so far this term.» Bible focus Display the Outline of a person and hand out the Activity books What have we learnt about Jesus so far? (Accept responses. Encourage your students to look back through their Activity books and write their answers on the outline of Jesus.) Jesus has done some pretty amazing things; we ve seen he is no ordinary person. But did Jesus only come to do amazing miracles? Or did he come for something more? Our next chapter of our Super Saviour Bible comic will help us! The Comic Display the Visual aid of Super Saviour Bible comic 8. Picture 1: Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him. Picture 2: Jesus asked them, What do people say about me? They replied, Some say that you are John the Baptist or Elijah or a prophet from long ago who has come back to life. Picture 3: Jesus looked at them and said, But who do you say I am? Peter responded for all of the disciples: God s Messiah the promised king. Picture 4: Then Jesus then told them something very important. He said, God s Messiah must suffer many things, and be rejected by the leaders of God s people. He must be killed but three days later he will rise to life! The disciples did not like what they heard. Picture 5: Just over a week later, Jesus told them the same thing again! But they still didn t understand the meaning of Jesus words. They were confused but they were too scared to ask Jesus about it. Picture 6: After he told them what would happen to the Messiah, Jesus headed for Jerusalem. The time was coming near. Comic ends here Ask the students to open their Activity books to Lesson 8. We learned in Lesson 3 that God s people were waiting for someone. Whom had they been waiting for? (Accept responses. The promised king the Messiah. Explain to the students that Messiah means God s promised one, the king who will rescue his people.) God s people were waiting for the Messiah, God s promised king, to arrive. This was the king that God promised to King David when he said... Read 2 Samuel 7:16 from your CEV Bible. 76 connect teacher s manual

5 When Peter said that Jesus was the Messiah, he was saying that Jesus was the king that all Israel had been waiting for. What might Peter and the disciples have been expecting Jesus to do? (Accept responses. They may have expected Peter to become the physical king of Israel. At this time the Romans were in charge of Israel so many Israelites were waiting for their own king who would help them become their own free nation.) Let s have a look at what Jesus, the Messiah, had really come to do... Ask four students to each read aloud the printed Bible verses from Mark 10:45, Luke 19:10, Matthew 1:21 and John 1:29 from Lesson 8 in their Activity books. Explain that one of the titles Jesus often gave himself was the Son of Man. What do these verses tell us about what Jesus came to do? Mark 10:45 The Son of Man did not come to be a slave master, but a slave who will give his life to rescue many people. Luke 19:10 The Son of Man came to look for and to save people who are lost. Matthew 1:21 Then after her baby is born, name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. John 1:29 The next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him and said: Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Jesus, the Messiah, came to save people from their sin. But how was Jesus going to save people from their sin? (Accept responses. Direct students to the comic and Bible passage in their Activity books. The Messiah must suffer many things, and be rejected by the leaders of God s people. He must be killed but three days later he will rise to life.) Read Romans 6:23a from your CEV Bible. What is the consequence for our sin? (Accept responses. Death.) Remember our lesson about Ryan, Louisa and Con? Louisa stole and ate Ryan s muesli bar and it didn t seem fair that she should be forgiven so easily and not punished for her naughty behaviour. Well, Jesus came to save us from our sin. And to do that, he needed to take the punishment we deserve. He needed to die on the cross.» Connections Jesus miracles look great! They would ve been amazing to see! But they are only signs that point to something much greater. They point to who Jesus is and what he came to do... save us from our sin! If we put our trust in Jesus and follow him, our sins can be forgiven too. Display the Visual aid from page 83 of the Fireman. Firemen rescue people. That is their job. If you were in trouble and you saw a fireman coming to help, how would you feel? (Accept responses. Relieved, happy, safer.) ow imagine that as the fireman comes to pick you up and carry you out of danger, you say, o thanks! I ll be just fine on my own! It doesn t make sense, does it? (Accept responses. o, it doesn t make sense. The fireman is there to help you and to rescue you from danger.) You need to trust the fireman. You need to trust him to carry you out and save your life. You need to trust that he can do that. You need to let him rescue you! upper primary LESSO 8 T C E C O 77

6 upper primary LESSO 8 What would happen if you didn t let the fireman rescue you? (Accept responses. You might be in danger and could be seriously hurt or even die!) It s the same with Jesus. Jesus is the promised king. He came to save us from our sin. But we need to let him rescue us. We need to trust that he died in our place so our sins can be forgiven and we can live as his followers.

7 » Teacher reflections Do your students feel comfortable about asking questions during the lesson? Are you presenting the right amount of material for the time that you have for the lesson?» otes» For next lesson ext week s lesson is about Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. As part of the teaching you will need to be explaining the Cup of God s wrath/ anger. If you aren t sure what this means, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to read the Bible background, read a Bible dictionary article or discuss it with your minister. upper primary LESSO 8 T C E C O 79
