Here are some of the homework pictures of Jesus you guys did for me:
Bethanie says about her picture: “I chose to draw Jesus like this because even though he’s dying he is relaxed and happy because he knows he is dying for what he believes. In my opinion I think Jesus should be remembered like this because it’s what Christians believe.”
We’ve been looking at the story of the Lost (or Prodigal) Son. This is found in Luke’s Gospel (15:11-31), and you can find the pictures I used here.
Here’s some of your work:
The elder son:
The father (notice his radiating heart):
We even had a poem!
Megan also wrote something in her book defining love: “Love is caring about someone so much that nothing else matters and you would do anything for them”. I think that hits the nail on the head when it comes to looking at Christian ideas of love. Christians understand God to be like the father in the story - even though his children may go off and squander everything given to them they are still welcomed back with open arms and a party when they decide to return.
