To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:
Distribute copies of the “Jesus’ Heritage” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. Have students work in pairs or small groups to complete as indicated.
- If all your learners are online, consider using Zoom Breakouts (which you can learn about here) to form study pairs.
- If some of your learners are online and others are in the classroom with you, consider breaking the in-person learners into pairs together and using Zoom Breakouts for the online learners.
After no more than 15 minutes, have students share their conclusions. Use the commentary to fill in any gaps.
Make a transition to Into Life by saying, “While we don’t have any control over our human heritage, we do have control over our spiritual heritage.”
To encourage personal application:
Close by distributing copies of the “Jesus, My Savior, Is All Things to Me” from the activity page. As someone reads aloud the words to the hymn, encourage students to remember and acknowledge that their spiritual heritage is in Jesus—and what a wonderful heritage it is!
