Embracing an Adult Faith: Jesus

Will the real Jesus please stand up?

I know you are too young to remember a television show called "To Tell the Truth," but you might have encountered it on Nickelodean or some such. I'll let you research it if you're interested.

This week's session of our new Canterbury@ULM series is titled, simply, "Jesus." And lots of people have widely different views, not only of what Jesus looked like, but who he was and especially what being his follower means. Here are the advance reflection questions:

1. Why does Jesus matter to you (if he does)?
2. What does Easter mean to you?
3. What does it mean to you to respond wholeheartedly to Jesus' call to "Follow me"?
4. What difference to you does it make that Jesus was a faithful practicing Jew?
5. How has relationship with the post-Easter Jesus changed your life?

So... everyone, please pick at least ONE of the above questions and be prepared to share something in response before we view our video lesson.

And I'm bringing pizza for lunch!

See you Friday,  11:30 am, Walker 1-113.
