Lesson II
THE BAPTISM OF JESUS
John’s Role in Isaiah 40:3 (preparer) Malachi 3:1 ( messenger)
Purpose of Jesus’ Baptism:
1. Jesus sought to make a clear connection with John the Baptist.
2. Jesus' baptism connected the humanity of Jesus with the rest of humanity.
3. Jesus' baptism provided an example He expected other believers to follow
4. Fourth, the baptism of Jesus provided the first explicit mention in the New Testament involving all three members of the Triune God.
THE TEMPTATION OF JESUS
Jesus went to the desert to discern His true vocation.
The devil wanted Jesus to give up His vocation.
He became Human like us.
3 temptations
1. “Turn these stones into bread”
2. “Throw yourself down”
3. “Prostate yourself and follow me”
The wedding in Cana is about. . .
Turning water into wine.
Message
1. Jesus can provide all we need
2. Stop focusing on the 'wine‘
3. Believe in the messenger, not just the message

Lesson III
The kingdom of God
Used to emphasize the kingship of God-God who rules- rather than a place where God rules.
Already, but not yet. . .
The picture you get in the Gospels as Jesus unfolds the teachings of the kingdom is that it is both present and it is still future.
You can hear the future dimension of the kingdom in the Lord’s Prayer: “Your kingdom come” (Matthew 6:10).
Jesus used “Parables” to explain the Kingdom of God
1. The Parable of the Weeds (Mt 13: 24-30, 36-43)
2. The Seed Growing by Itself (Mk 4:26-29)
3. Treasures New and Old (Mt 13: 51-52)
4. The Workers in the Vineyard (Mt 20 1-15)
5. The Treasure and the Pearl (Mt. 13: 44-46)
6. Parable of the Fishing Net (Mt 13: 47-50)
7. The Mustard Seed (Mt 13: 31-32)
8. Parable of the Yeast (Mt 13: 33)
The Kingdom of God is. . .
CFC 2154
In process, an “eschatological” reality already present but not yet fully achieved.
Universal, Embracing all peoples and every condition and dimension of their lives.
Structural, restructuring our relationship with God and with one another. And upturning the basic values of the world
Established by Christ according to the Father’s will and design
Continually “coming” into the lives and hopes of the Faithful

Lesson III
Why are Jesus’ miracles/healings still relevant today?
1.They Show that Jesus Is Fully God
The miracles are extraordinary signs of the presence and power of God in the person of Jesus as his act of mercy and compassion for any person in need.
They are also signs that validate the profession of faith in his being truly divine.
1. He changed water into wine. (Jn 2:1-11)
2. He made the blind see. (Mk. 2:22-25)
3. He made the lame walk. (Jn. 5:1)
4. He healed the sick (Mk. 7:31-37)
5. He calmed the wind and the sea. (Mk. 5:35-41)

Unless Jesus is God, He cannot redeem us, only an immortal and holy God can-----
A. free the whole human race from sin and death
B. give us a share in the fullness of divine life
Catechism for Filipino Catholic, 511
2. They Show that Jesus Is Fully Human
The Scriptures and constant teachings of the Church are one in asserting that Jesus is truly human. He did not just appear to be human in our midst;
rather he became truly one of us.
How?
1. He was born of a woman.
(Luke 1:31)

2. He experienced the helplessness of infancy and the growth from childhood to adulthood
3. He experienced the weaknesses of human flesh
A. he got tired from his journeys (Jn. 4:6)
B. He knew what it was to be hungry (Lk. 4:2)
C. He knew what it was to be thirsty (Jn. 4:7)
D. He faced the cross in agony (Mk. 14: 34-36)
E. He wept over Jerusalem in sorrow. (Lk. 19:42)

4. Christ had a historical bodily existence

1. John 20:27
2. Luke 23: 55-56
3. 1 John 1:1

Aside from these four,

What was the ultimate human experience of Jesus?
Death on the CROSS!

Unless Jesus was truly man, he could not save us. “He had to become like his brothers in every way, that he might expiate the sins of the people. (Heb. 2:17)
*correct
Catechism for Filipino Catholic, 511
3. The Grand Story of Redemption
Thus, Jesus’s miracles fulfil Old Testament prophecy. It is now almost two thousand years since Jesus accomplished his miracles
The miracles tell stories that show analogues to the grand story of redemption. God redeems people from sin so that they may enter into the glory of God’s
presence.
The small stories of redemption point especially to the climax of redemption in Christ’s crucifixion, death, resurrection, ascension, reign, and second coming. These
stories have pertinence to us because God’s call to salvation still goes out to sinners today:
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved

In short. . .
Jesus performs miracles because of. . .
Faith
Forgives sins
Miracles and healings are important . . .
They Show that Jesus Is Fully God
They Show that Jesus Is Fully Human
The Grand Story of Redemption
