Session 5 Reflection: “Who Is Jesus" Reflection: It is without question that no person has changed the world like Jesus of Nazareth. Time is measured by His birth, churches were built to worship Him in every corner of the world, cities were named after His followers, and His life has captured countless works of art and literature. Is He a legend, a liar, a lunatic? Or is He who He claimed to be-God in the flesh? Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Who do you say that I am?” (Mathew 16:15). He asks the same question of us.
Discussion Questions:
1. How do we know Jesus exists?
2. Why did Jesus choose unqualified men to follow Him?
3. What do you think when Chris Stefanick said, “Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all of history? That makes no sense at all. A guy that had no money, no armies, no power-the most dominant figure in all of history.
4. “At the center of Christianity is the claim that God came looking for us." Why did God come looking for us?
5. C.S. Lewis wrote that there are three options to believe in Jesus. "Jesus was either a liar, or a lunatic, or He was in fact the Lord. And you have to make your choice." What does this statement mean to you?
6. Why does the Church have the Sacraments for us to receive and what do the Sacraments do for us?
7. Who do you say personally Jesus is? Answer as if one of your doubting friends asked you?
8. What is the one thing you have learned from this session?
Session 5 Prayer: Dear Jesus, in Your divinity You reveal to us who God is and, in Your humanity, You reveal to us who we are. May we have the confidence to respond like Peter to the question: Who do you say that I am? "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God". Amen. (see Mathew 16:16)
