This study of the life of our Lord is set up as a series of lessons to be first studied by the student then discussed by the teacher or discussion leader. It may, however, be adapted and used for other teaching styles. The student is asked to read the passages covering a particular aspect of our Lord’s life then answer a few questions over these passages. Some of the questions will be such that there are correct answers to be found in the passages. Other questions will be “What do you think...” or “In your opinion...” questions in which there may not necessarily be a correct answer. Following the questions over the passages, the student is asked to list several applications that they may see in these passages for living in today’s world.
The study does not always cover all the scripture included in any given unit or section, nor does it delve “in-depth” into many of the passages it covers. Such a thorough study goes beyond the scope and intention of this work, which is to briefly introduce our Lord’s life. As time and opportunity allow, more will be added.
From the unit studies menu, the worksheet for any unit may be accessed. The answers may be accessed using the button options to show or hide the answers. The answers do not purport to be exhaustive, especially when the questions are “What do you think...” or “In your opinion...” questions. Nor are the applications given by the author intended to be comprehensive. They are provided as a starting point for discussion. It is a work in progress. It will be added to and expanded as time is allowed this student of God’s Word.
The introduction gives some of the basic assumptions made by the author and some background on the Gospels. The chronology chart gives one harmony of the life of our Lord from the Gospels and a few other books. The unit studies of various sections may also be accessed from the chronology.
The Holy Spirit is the true teacher of God’s Word; we are only instruments to be used by Him. Yet, in the process of teaching, we also become learners. We must continually be open to being taught by the Spirit of God through those whom we teach. More often than not, when teaching these passages, the author has been learned much from observations made by the students in his classes.
