1. Read Philippians 2:5-11 and briefly describe the direction Jesus’ life took.
Although Jesus was God, he took the nature of a humble, obedient human servant. This obedience even took him to the point of death on a cross for the salvation of humankind.
2. Read John 1:1-3. What other familiar passage in Scripture does this remind you of?
The "In the beginning" part reminds me of Genesis 1 because Jesus was with God in the beginning and all things were made through him.
3. In what ways does the textbook say that Jesus is similar to Moses and David?
Jesus was a great leader and deliverer, like Moses and David.
4. Briefly summarize the Parable of the Sower from Mark 4.
A farmer sows seed in a field:
• Seed falls on paths, birds eat it
• Some seed falls where there are rocks, and not much soil. Plants grow quickly, but soon the sun dries them. There is not enough soil, and the plants die.
• Some seed begins to grow in a place where there are too many weeds. The weeds stop the growth of the plants, and the plants die.
• But other seed falls on good ground. So, the plants grow well. The farmer has a harvest from these plants.
Farmer = Jesus
Seed = Good News
Places = different
