In the Book of Luke, Jesus was at the border of Samaria and Galilee while he was going to Jerusalem;
Ten lepers approached Jesus, requesting that he should pity them and show mercy on them. Jesus said to
them “Go and let the priest examine you”. On their way they were made clean. When one of them saw
that he was healed, he came back, praising God in a loud voice. The man was a Samaritan; Jesus said
: “There were ten men who were healed; where are the other nine? Why is the foreigner the only one who
came to give thanks to God?” Jesus said to him, “Get up and go; your faith has made you well.”
CENTURION SERVANT LUKE 7: 1-10

After the Sermon on the plain, Jesus entered Capernaum. There a centurion (a Roman army officer in
charge of at least one hundred soldiers) sent Jewish elders to intercede on his behalf and implore Jesus to come
and heal his dear but dying servant. He did not go to Jesus in person because, being a gentile, he probably felt
unworthy to approach him, and thought that the Jewish elders would command greater respect with Jesus.
Eventually Jesus healed the Centurions servant even without physically going to the house where he was laid.
From this account of healing, we learn several lessons from the attitude of the centurion and the action of Jesus.

[b] Parables showing attitude to possessions.
[c] Parables showing maturity and responsibility.
[A] PARABLES ABOUT GOD’S RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS PEOPLE[ Luke 15: 18-32]
Parables are earthly stories with heavenly or spiritual meaning. Jesus used parables to illustrate his teachings on
God’s care and love for sinners. They also talked about attitude of Christians on how they can show high degree
of maturity and responsibility in their daily activities.

(1) The lost sheep; Luke 15:1-7
2) The lost coin Luke 15:8-10
3) The prodigal son Luke 15:11-32
4) The parable of the sower
THE LOST SHEEP; Luke 15:8-10.

Jesus talked about a man with one hundred sheep and looked for the lost one when eventually he found it, he
called his friends to rejoice and celebrate with him.
THE LOST COIN Luke 15:11-12

Also, there was a woman who had ten coins; she lost one out of it. She left the others in search of the lost coin,
when she found it, she rejoiced greatly.
THE PRODIGAL SON. [ Luke15:11-32.]

In the parable of the prodigal son, a man had two sons. One day, the younger
Son collected his inheritance from his father and went to a far country. He lavished the properties in careless
and useless living and later he started suffering. He returned to his father and was warmly accepted.

2. Our God is a compassionate God. There is no limit to His love
3. God values human beings highly
4. God has given us freedom to choose, act or speak.
THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER (matt. 13:1-23, mark 4:1-20)

At the bank of the sea, a large crowd gathered around Jesus and he got into the boat and taught them
in parables
He said that a sower went to sow some seeds. As he sowed, some of the seeds fell along the parts and
the Birds came and ate them up. Others fell on rocky ground where they had no good moisture or roots
and died as soon as they sprang up. Some of the seeds fell on good soil, growing up and yielding much
fruit. He concluded by saying that those who has hears should hear.
When he was alone, his disciple asked him about the parable.
THE PARABLE INTERPRETED(MARK 4:13-20)

The sower sows the word, that is, the word of God and the seed that fell along the path are those that
hear the word of God and the Devil immediately takes it away from them.
Those that fell on rocky ground are those who hear the word of God. They usually receive it with joy
but because they have no root in them, it lasted for a short time, vanishing when there is tribulation and
persecution on account of the word.
The seed sown among the thorns are those who hear the word, but the cares of the world and the
delight in riches render the word ineffective and unfruitful.
The ones that fell on good soil are those who hear the word accept it and practise it so that it
produces good results in them.

Peter had come to Jesus to ask the question’, Lord how often shall my brother sin against me and I
forgive him as many as seven times?’ Jesus answered” I do not say to you seven times but seventy times
seven. At this point, Jesus told the parable. He compared the kingdom of heaven to a king who wished to
settle accounts with his servants.
As he started to work on the account, a servant who owed him ten thousand talents (about N10m) Came
in and begged him to forgive him as he was unable to pay the debt. The king forgave the servant and
cancelled the debt. Later, that same servant met one of his fellow servant who owed him only one hundred
denani (about N20). He seized him, held him by his cloth and demanded the immediate payment of his
money.
In spite of the plea of that debtor, the man refused to forgive him. Instead he put him in prison until he
was able to pay the debt. His fellow servants saw this and told the king, who had earlier forgiven him,. The
king immediately arrested him and sent him to prison until he too was able to pay the debt. Then, Jesus said,
so also my heavenly father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.

The first two servants were matured and responsible Christians who asked God’s gift in their lives very well.

Jesus Christ was brought up according to Jewish laws and customs. His parents were obedient Jews and
set an example for him from childhood on how to keep the religious laws and he was circumcised as was the
custom. He was brought to the temple for the annual and usual custom of presentation to the priest in charge.
Therefore his parents came to offer a sacrifice according to the law of God. By so doing they laid the foundation
for religious obedience in the young Jesus
II) THE VISIT TO JERUSALEM
When Jesus was 12 years, He followed his parents to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover feast at home,
in Nazareth; He learnt some trade and studied the religious life of his people. He followed them to the
synagogue. The Jews law has a rule that all male Jews must go to Jerusalem at least once a year.

stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will, be clean” the man was made clean. He ordered
the man to not to tell any one, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses
commanded for a proof to the people. He thereby taught the lesson of obedience to the law of the community.
When the Pharisees and the Herodians wanted to find a charge with which to accuse Jesus, they asked
for His opinion about the payment of taxes Matt22:17. Jesus knew he was being tempted. He took a coin that
had the picture of Caesar and told them that they should obey the government and also obey laws of God.”
Render to Caesar things that are Caesar’s and to God things that are God’s. Matthew 22:21.
PAYMENT OF TAXES
Jesus was obedient and also taught obedience to the laws of the community. A good Christian is one who is also

WEEK TEN
TOPIC: JESUS CHRIST CLARIRIFIES THE TRUE MEANING OF THE LAW
CONTENT:
(1) The observance of the Sabbath day [Mark 2:23-28;3:1-12]
(2) The practice of Corban [Mark 7:9-13]
(3) Ceremonial cleanness [Mark 7:18;14:23]
(I) THE OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH DAY OR HUMAN NEEDS ABOVE THE
DEMANDS OF THE LAW.[ Mark 2:23-28’3:1- 6 ]
When the Pharisees challenge Jesus for allowing his disciples to pluck corn on a Sabbath, He reminded
them on how David entered the house of God and ate the sacred bread when he was hungry. Jesus
therefore declared; the Sabbath was made for man; not man for the Sabbath.
A man with a withered hand was brought to Jesus to heal on a Sabbath day. The Pharisee came around
to know what He would do. Jesus knowing their intentions asked them “is it lawful on the Sabbath to do
good or to do harm, to save life or to kill. The Pharisee were confused. Jesus went ahead to cure the
man.
The conclusion, some human needs are above others.
(II) THE PRATICE OF CORBAN [Mark 7:9 -13]
Corban is a Jewish word which means dedicating or giving something to God. It was the practice of the
Jew to give their property to God .Such property will be used to maintain the temple and the prist
who worked in the Temple. The law of Corban states that once a property is declared a Corban,
no part of it is to be used by that person to help anyone in need of help . Some of them declared
their property to be Corban ,but they did not give it up for God’s use.They did this in order to
prevent using other part of it to help anyone including their parents.This law enabled some of the
Jews to dodge their responsibilities to their parents. Jesus condemned this evil practice and he
said that the people had made the Commandments of God useless by the law of Corban.
EVALUATION
What is Corban?
Give reason why Jesus condemned the law of Corban?
(III) CEREMONIAL CLEANNESS OR PURITY AND HUMAN LAW[ MK 7:1-13;18;14:23]
The Pharisee and Scribes condemned the disciples of Jesus for eating bread with unwashed hands. For
the Pharisees and all the Jews, except they wash, they will not eat. They also wash cups, pots, brazen
vessels and tables before eating or doing anything with them when they come from market; thereby
holding the tradition of the elders.
These were the charges the Pharisee and scribes brought to Jesus that his disciples failed to keep or
walk according to the traditions of the elders. Jesus responded to them by saying that they honour God
with their lips, but their heart is far from Him. That they worship God in vain teaching doctrines and the
commandments of men and laying aside the commandments of God.
Jesus further told them that purity of heart should supersede human laws. Human laws can be changed
and broken, but purity of heart becomes paramount as that is the only passport one has to see God. He
also told them that there is nothing that enters into a man that can defile him, but the things which come
out of him; those are the things that defile the man.

Jesus went beyond the act of killing to condemn anger of heart murder. He says that anyone who says,
“You fool” shall be liable to hell fire.
2) ON SWEARING: - The Jewish says “you shall not swear false but shall perform to the Lord what you
have sworn’ Jesus added more to it. He said do not swear at all ether by heaven, earth or by Jerusalem,
you shall simply say Yes or No.
3) ON REVENGE: The law says “an eye for an eye, tooth for tooth” Jesus says if anyone slaps you on
the right check, turn the left cheek. If anyone asks you to go a mile, go with him two miles, if anyone

6) ON LOVE: The Jewish law asked people to love their neighbours and hate their enemies. Jesus
however, said “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”
We should therefore understand the law before obeying it we should worship God with a pure
heart, this means no anger and hatred in the heart we should love our enemies and not kill them

After the Sermon on the plain Jesus entered Capernaum. There a centurion (a Roman army officer in
charge of at least one hundred soldiers) sent Jewish elders to intercede on his behalf and implore Jesus to come
and heal his dear but dying servant. He did not go to Jesus in person because, being a gentile, he probably felt
unworthy to approach him, and thought that the Jewish elders would command greater respect with Jesus.
Eventually Jesus healed the centurions servant even without physically going to the house where he was laid.

CONTENT:
(a) The wicked servant Matt 18:21-35
(b) The ten virgins Matt 25:1-13
(c) The talents Matt 25:14-30
When we say maturity, we simply mean to become completely developed or grown-up while
responsible on the other hand mean liable to answer for or accountable. Therefore when we say maturity and
responsibility we mean to develop completely and to be accountable
1) THE WICKED SERVANT; MATTHEW 18:21-31
Jesus told the parable of the wicked servant to teach his audience about maturity and responsibility.
Peter had come to Jesus to ask the question’, Lord how often shall my brother sin against me and I
forgive him as many as seven times?’ Jesus answered” I do not say to you seven times but seventy times
seven. At this point, Jesus told the parable. He compared the kingdom of heaven to a king who wished to
settle accounts with his servants.
As he started to work on the account, a servant who owed him ten thousand talents (about N10m) Came
in and begged him to forgive him as he was unable to pay the debt. The king forgave the servant and
cancelled the debt. Later, that same servant met one of his fellow servant who owed him only one hundred
denani (about N20). He seized him, held him by his cloth and demanded the immediate payment of his
money.
In spite of the plea of that debtor, the man refused to forgive him. Instead he put him in prison until he
was able to pay the debt. His fellow servants saw this and told the king, who had earlier forgiven him,. The
king immediately arrested him and sent him to prison until he too was able to pay the debt. Then, Jesus said,
so also my heavenly father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart.

Ten virgin went with their lamps to meet the bridegroom at a marriage feast. Five were foolish

had not enough oil in their lamps. In the middle of the night after much delay in waiting for the
bridegroom, the oil of the foolish maidens finished. They begged the wise ones to give them oil but they
refused.
The foolish maidens went to a nearby village to look for oil, before they arrived; the bride
groom had come and gone with the wise maidens. They cried but it was too late.
INTERPRETATION
Christians should be prepared for the second coming of Christ. The five foolish virgins were the
careless, irresponsible and immature Christians who did not prepare for the coming of the Lord. The wise
virgins were the prepared matured Christians who prepared for the coming of the Lord.
3) THE TALENTS MATT 25:14-30
A certain businessman was about to travel to a far country. He called his servants and gave them talents
according to their abilities. He gave the first one 5 talents, the second 2 talents and the third one 1 talent. When
the master arrived they all came to give account of their business. The first servant made 5 more talents. The
second two more talents, the third one went and hid his own in a pit. Their master commended the first two
servants and rewarded them accordingly, while the third servant was punished and condemned

I) MEANING OF OBEDIENCE TO THE FIRST LAW
Jesus Christ was brought up according to Jewish laws and customs. His parents were obedient Jews and
set an example for him from childhood on how to keep the religious laws and he was circumcised as was the
custom. He was brought to the temple for the annual and usual custom of presentation to the priest in charge.
Therefore his parents came to offer a sacrifice according to the law of God. By so doing they laid the foundation
for religious obedience in the young Jesus
II) THE VISIT TO JERUSALEM
When Jesus was 12 years, He followed his parents to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover feast at home,
in Nazareth; He learnt some trade and studied the religious life of his people. He followed them to the
synagogue. The Jews law has a rule that all male Jews must go to Jerusalem at least once a year.
At 12, He accompanied the parents to the Passover and stayed behind. His parents did not know it.
They later sought and found Him in the temple sitting among the teachers, listening and asking them question.
The parents persuaded Him and he came back with them to Nazareth.
III) JESUS SHOWS OBEDIENCE TO EXISTING LAWS. MARK 1: 40 – 45, MATTHEW 22:15-22
A leper came to Jesus and begged Him to cure him of his leprosy. Jesus had pity on the man and
stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will, be clean” the man was made clean. He ordered
the man to not to tell any one, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses
commanded for a proof to the people. He thereby taught the lesson of obedience to the law of the community.
When the Pharisees and the Herodians wanted to find a charge with which to accuse Jesus, they asked
for His opinion about the payment of taxes Matt22:17. Jesus knew he was being tempted. He took a coin that
had the picture of Caesar and told them that they should obey the government and also obey laws of God.”
Render to Caesar things that are Caesar’s and to God things that are God’s. Matthew 22:21.
Jesus was obedient and taught obedience to the laws of the community. A good Christian is one who is

however, said “love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you”
We should therefore understand the law before obeying it we should worship God with a pure

TOPIC: LOVE THE SUPREME LAW
CONTENT:
(1) The law of love
(b) Love as the new commandment of Jesus Christ
(c) Moral Lesson
1) THE LAW OF LOVE. Luke 10:25-28

One day, when Jesus was teaching, a lawyer stood up to test Him, He asked Jesus what he
should do to have eternal life, Jesus replied by asking him what is written in the law? In reply the
lawyer said, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your souls and with all
your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself. Jesus answered that he had
answered rightly and added. “Do this and you will live”.
2) LOVE AS THE NEW COMMANDMENT OF JESUS CHRIST JOHN 13:33,

I COR. 13:4-13
The new commandment or law which Jesus gave His disciples was love. He said “A new
commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, by this, all men will
know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.
Paul, who had earlier preached the gospel to the Corinthians, later wrote a letter to them about
love. Here are the characteristics of the God kind of love that Paul enumerated in I Corinthians. 13:4-8
11) It is kind
12) It is patient
13) It is not arrogant or boastful
14) It is not jealous
15) It is not resentful or irritable
16) It does not rejoice at wrong but rejoices in the right
17) It believes all things
18) It endures all things
19) It hopes all things
20) It does not fail
Infact, he told them that the crown of all virtues (good character) is love. Therefore, Christians
should see love as supreme.
CONCLUSION
1. Love is free: - There is no limit to love. It touches all aspects of life
2. Love is better expressed. We must act it out, to meet and help a neighbour in need.

II. The message of the fore runner, Matt 3: 1-12
The birth of the fore runner, Luke 1: 5-25; 57-80, Isaiah 9: 6

The birth of Jesus Christ was predicted by prophet Isaiah ever before Christ was born.
John the Baptist was the fore runner of Jesus Christ. He was born by Zachariah and Elizabeth. They lived in
Jerusalem in the days of king Herod of Judea. Zachariah was a Priest and his wife was barren for many years.
While in the temple one day, angel Gabriel from the Lord appeared to him, and told him that his wife was going
to bear a son. He said the child shall be great, his name shall be called John and must not drink strong wine.
Zachariah doubted this message and he was made dumb until later the child was born. Elizabeth later conceived
and bear a male child, on the eighth day, the family of Zachariah wanted to name the child Zachariah after his
father; but the mother said No. they asked the father to write and he wrote the name John on the slate.
Immediately his tongue was loosed, and he spoke. There was great rejoicing that day.
The lessons we learn from that is that, we should not doubt God, with God all things are possible and that we
should have faith in God.
The massage of the fore runner, Matt 3: 1-12

John started his mission by calling on the people to repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. He was preaching
in the wilderness, he wore a garment of Carmel’s hair and a leather girdle around his waist. His food was locust
and wild honey. People went to him from all parts of Jerusalem, Judea and Jordan.
They confessed their sins and were baptized by him in river Jordan. He referred to many of the Pharisees and
Sadducees who came to him as “brood of vipers”. He preached to them and many were baptized. He told them
that someone was coming after him whose sandal he was not worthy to carry and who would baptize them with
the Holy Spirit and fire. And he would reward or punish people according to their works.

Baptism of Jesus, Matt 3: 13-17

Jesus Christ came from Galilee to river Jordan to be baptized by John, but Jesus said he should allow it to be so,
to fulfill all righteousness.
When Jesus was dipped in water and baptized, the heavens opened and the spirit of God came upon him like a
dove and HE heard a voice saying “This is my beloved son with whom I am well pleased”. The lesson we learn
from Christ here is that we should be humble, should be a good example in school, home and society.
Temptation of Jesus Christ Matt 4: 1-11

Jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness; He fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. He was hungry after the fast
and was tempted by the devil.
Firstly, the devil asked him to command stones to become loaves of bread, if he was really the so of God. But
Jesus replied “Man shall not live by bread alone, but every word that proceeds from the mouth of God”.
Secondly, the devil led him to a holy city. He took him to the pinnacle of the temple and asked him to jump
down from it, fir it is written God will send his angels to guide thee, lest He dash his foot against a stone. Jesus
answered, be gone Satan for it is written, you shall not tempt the Lord your God”.
Thirdly, the devil took him to a high mountain; He showed Jesus all the glories of the world and promised to
give it to Christ, if only he would bow down and worship him. Jesus replied “Be gone Satan, for it is written
you shall worship the Lord your God and him only you shall serve”.
We learn a lesson here that just as Jesus was tempted, so we must expect temptation, but we must not fall into it.
We can overcome temptation through prayer and the word of God.

i. JESUS AND THE ELITE – NICODEMUS John 3: 1-17
Nicodemus was a ruler of the Jews and a Pharisee, he came to Jesus by night and said to him “Rabbi”. We know
that you are a teacher from heaven and no none can do this signs unless God is with; “what must I do to inherit
the kingdom of God, Jesus replied by telling him that He must be born again”, Nicodemus asked if he should
enter the second time into his mother’s womb and be born? Jesus made him to realize that He must be born of
water and of the spirit i.e. he must go through spiritual rebirth i.e. the birth of regeneration. This is a process
whereby he has to repent and forsake his sins and live a holy life. He must also be baptized in water and spirit.
There is need in the country to day to justify the practical and the moral aspect of this spiritual rebirth.
Christians at home and school are duty bound to be honest in all their doings, anyone who steals or cheats
shows the absence of the born again experience. The mark of spiritual birth includes: Repentance, love, honesty,
respect for elders peace etc.
Jesus concluded his statement with the popular saying “… for God so loved the world that He gave his only
begotten so that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life”. Nicodemus was a
theologian and a member of the Sanhedrin. He used the cover of the night to hide his identify, but Jesus was
able to identify him.

Jesus Christ is loving, HE accepted all men without discrimination. This is seen in the meeting with the
Samaritan woman. The Samaritans were rejected among the Jews. They were regarded as inferior or second
class citizen because they were product of mixed-blood.
Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well of Jacob at the Samaritan city called Sychar. Jesus asked for some
water, the woman not knowing Jesus refused to give him since the Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans.
Jesus told her that if she knows the gifts of God, she would have given him water and besides he had living
water which He would give her and she would thirst no more. Jesus told the woman that she should go and call
her husband, the woman said she had husband, Jesus said she had five husbands and the one she was living with
was not her husband, the woman agreed with the statement of Jesus and perceived that he was a prophet or
messiah. She quickly left her water pot and ran to the city and told the people about a man who told her all she
ever did.
The people came round and Jesus preached to them and many believed in Him. HE was there for two days.

that you are a teacher from heaven and no none can do this signs unless God is with; “what must I do to inherit
the kingdom of God, Jesus replied by telling him that He must be born again”, Nicodemus asked if he should
enter the second time into his mother’s womb and be born? Jesus made him to realize that He must be born of
water and of the spirit i.e. he must go through spiritual rebirth i.e. the birth of regeneration. This is a process
whereby he has to repent and forsake his sins and live a holy life. He must also be baptized in water and spirit.
There is need in the country to day to justify the practical and the moral aspect of this spiritual rebirth.
Christians at home and school are duty bound to be honest in all their doings, anyone who steals or cheats
shows the absence of the born again experience. The mark of spiritual birth includes: Repentance, love, honesty,
respect for elders peace etc.
Jesus concluded his statement with the popular saying “… for God so loved the world that He gave his only
begotten so that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life”. Nicodemus was a
theologian and a member of the Sanhedrin. He used the cover of the night to hide his identify, but Jesus was
able to identify him.

ii. JESUS AND THE REJECTED – THE POOR SAMARITAN John 4:7-47
Jesus Christ is loving, HE accepted all men without discrimination. This is seen in the meeting with the
Samaritan woman. The Samaritans were rejected among the Jews. They were regarded as inferior or second
class citizen because they were product of mixed-blood.
Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well of Jacob at the Samaritan city called Sychar. Jesus asked for some
water, the woman not knowing Jesus refused to give him since the Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans.
Jesus told her that if she knows the gifts of God, she would have given him water and besides he had living
water which He would give her and she would thirst no more. Jesus told the woman that she should go and call
her husband, the woman said she had husband, Jesus said she had five husbands and the one she was living with
was not her husband, the woman agreed with the statement of Jesus and perceived that he was a prophet or
messiah. She quickly left her water pot and ran to the city and told the people about a man who told her all she
ever did.
The people came round and Jesus preached to them and many believed in Him. HE was there for two days.

WEEK 1
TOPIC: JESUS AS A LAMB John 1: 29-34
CONTENTS
In John 1: 29-30, John described Jesus as the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the whole world. This
is a figurative expression which talks of the fact that the death of Jesus on the cross is the only sacrifice that has
brought redemption to humanity. In other words, just as a Lamb was slaughtered, Jesus was slain for the
atonement of the sin of mankind.
Significance
By describing Jesus as the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, John was unknowingly talking
about the death of Jesus on the cross where he will sacrifice his blood to save the whole world from sin. Thus,
as a sacrificial Lamb, Jesus will die for the remission of the sins of the world.
JESUS AS THE DOOR AND THE GOOD SHEPHERD (John 10: 1-18)
Once, Jesus taught the people about himself, using a metaphor of a door and shepherd. He told them that
whosoever does not enter a sheep pen (where livestock is reared) by the door but enters through other ways is a
thief. He who enters through the door is a shepherd whose voice his sheep know and listen to the shepherd calls
his by name and they follow him as he leads them because they know him so well.
On the other hand, the sheep cannot follow a stranger, but will rather run away because they do not know his
voice. He said he is the gate or door and whosoever enters through him shall be saved. He who enters through
him shall be saved. He who enters through him shall also find pasture as gives life. Lastly, he says he is the
good shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep.

abundance to the flock.

the flock.
3. A hireling does not care about the sheep unlike the good shepherd who takes good care of them.
4. As a hireling, the sheep do not follow him. They are afraid because he is a stranger. The good shepherd

has just come to work.
6. The hireling stays as long as he is paid but the good shepherd does not abandon his sheep because of
non-payment of his allowances / salaries
Significance of Jesus as the door

through him.
2. By giving life, Jesus means that he who believes in him, even if he dies, he shall live again this time,
everlasting.
3. Being a good shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep signifies that Jesus so loves us that he
agreed to die so that we shall live.

WEEK 2
TOPIC: JESUS AS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
CONTENTS:
In the encounter between Nicodemus and Jesus, Jesus mentioned that light came into the world, but the world
preferre3d darkness. This is because they were evil, since every evil doer hates the light, So as not to expose his
evil ways. According to him, whoever lives in truth loves the light so that it will be clear that his deeds are done
through God.
Again, shortly after Jesus discharged the woman caught in adultery, he taught the people, saying that he is the
light of the world, whoever follows him will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life. Finally, Jesus
declared to his followers that he is the light of the world, as long as he was in the world. This was in response to
his disciples question if the blind from birth because of his sins or those of his parents.
Significance
Jesus was constantly referring to himself as the “light of the world”. This phrase simply means that his way of
life is perfect and he is perfectly situated in the right hand of God. The light he brought to the world is the
gospel of the kingdom of God which people must embrace to be saved and to inherit life.

Jesus describes himself as the true vine and his father as the vine dresser. Any branch that does not bear fruit
will be cut off and every branch that bears fruit will be pruned that it may bear more fruits. According to him,
his disciples should abide by him and his words will abide in them.
As the branch cannot bear fruits by itself, unless it abides in the vine, so also the relationship should exist in
Jesus will be cast off to wither and be burnt. It is only when that relationship exists that they can achieve
something. He further states that if they abide by his words and his words abide in them, they should ask
whatever they like and it shall be done for them. Jesus said that as the father loves him, he also loves the
Christians.

Essential Christian Religious Knowledge for SS 1 – 3 by Edmond Ugochukwu
CONTENT
Once, Jesus met a woman in a well in Samaria and asked her to give him some water. The woman refused on
grounds that it was an abomination for Jews and Samaritans to have anything in common. Jesus told the woman
that if she knew the gifts of God and the one asking for a drink, she would have demand from him from him
some living water.
Confused because Jesus was not having any container of water with him, she asked where he will get the water
he is talking about. The woman queried whether Jesus was greater than Jacob who gave them the well and even
drank from it with his children and cattle. Jesus answered the woman, saying that the water the woman was
having will still evoke more thirst after drinking it, but that his own water becomes as spring in he who drinks
it, welling up to eternal life. The woman therefore demanded for the living water so that she may not thirst again
nor come to the well to draw water.
On another occasion, Jesus told his followers that he is the bread of life; that whoever comes to him will never
go hungry; while whoever believes in him will never be thirsty.

Miracles are signs of God’s special intervention in human affairs. When we talk about nature miracles, we are
talking about miracles that violate the law of nature.
a. THE WEDDING AT CANA IN GALILEE

Jesus and his disciples and his mother were invited to a wedding at Cana in Galilee. While they were
there, the wine got finished. The mother of Jesus went to him and told him to do something about the
situation but Jesus said to her “my hour has not yet come”. Mary told the disciples to do whatever Jesus
asked them to do.
Later Jesus instructed the disciples to fill six Jars with water after which they should start to serve the
people and the disciples obeyed. When the steward of the feast tasted the wine, he discovered that it
tasted better than the former one. He called the bridegroom and said to him “every man serves the good
wine first and when men have drank freely, the poor wine but you have kept the good wine until now”.
This was the first miracle Jesus performed at the beginning of his ministry and the disciples believed in
him.
b. THE FEEDING OF THE FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE

While Jesus was on the mountain with his disciples, he saw the multitude coming to him. Jesus asked
Philip how he could be able to feed them. Jesus said this to test him because he knew what he would do.

Andrew said there was a lad who had five barley loaves and two fishes, then Jesus told the disciples to
tell the people to sit down in group of hundreds and fifties.
He took the five loaves and two fishes, lifted them up and blessed them. He gave them to the disciples
to distribute among the crowds. All five thousand people ate and were satisfied. They gathered twelve
baskets of fragments, by taking care of the left over, they were being taught that all gift were not to be
wasted.

they have sailed for about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to
the boat, they were frightened, but Jesus said, “it is I do not be afraid”. He entered the boat and the

the carnal sensual love, it is highly conditional, it expresses itself only when the going is good, it withdraws

The second type of love is “Phileo”. “PHILEO” – This is the human type of love. This type of love is stronger

compels God to send his only begotten son to die for the sin of mankind. This is the love expressed in John 3:

Gal 3: 19-21, 2: 16-21, Rom 10: 5, 11: 10-17, Rom 4: 1-5, 10, 16-22
CONTENT
a. Meaning of justification
b. Condition for justification
Justification is a process in which a penitent sinner is regarded guiltless by the reason of his faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ. The righteousness of Jesus Christ is imputed on him and placed to his credit. We receive
justification as a gift from God, not as a result of our works or deeds or obedience to the law.
Faith is the condition for justification. Faith is implicit trust of confidence in God works and ways. A sinner
cannot be justified without faith in the atonement work of Christ on Calvary. A man who has faith in God and
his son Jesus Christ is said to be righteous and justified by faith.
Abraham was not justified by his own works but by his faith in God. The gospel of Christ as preached by Paul
and his fellow apostle contained the Christian message of faith, love and hope.
Paul in the book of Galatians condemned the Jews for practicing the righteousness that was based on the law.
He believed that it is through a strict observance of the law that a man is saved. God promised for his people is
based on faith.
Evaluation questions
1. Explain the concept of justification and state the condition for its attainment.
2. Mention two patriarchs who were justified by faith.

CONTENT
1. Definition of Human Relationship
2. Types of Human Relationship
3. Factors mutilating against good human relationship
A. DEFINITION OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP

Human relationship develops from the knowledge and interaction with one another. Through
interaction, human beings tend to understand one another and this brings peace in their relationship.
When we live together and we do not understand each other, the relationship will break down. There
are certain things that help towards building interaction. In other words, there are things that you shall
know about the person that you are interacting with. They are as follows:
1. Name
2. Background
3. Age
4. School
5. Religion
6. Hobby
7. State
8. Nationality
9. Likes and dislikes
10. Interest, hopes and fears.
In the bible, Abraham and Lot were relatives and they understood each other. This explains why they came
together and ironed out the causes of quarrel that ensued between their servants that would have ultimately led
to their separation.
We also have another example of human relationship in the Bible where the Gerilogy background of Jesus was
traced to Abraham in Matthew and Luke.
TYPES OF RELATIONSHIP

i. Family relationship:- This is sub divided into two; immediate and extended family

was grown in Egypt and was widely used as writing material in Egypt.
The book in use in the Biblical times was the scroll. This is the real predecessor of the modern book. The Bible

TOPIC: THE VIEWS OF DIFFERENT TRIBES CREATION
CONTENTS
I. Yoruba traditional account of creation
II. Edo traditional account of creation.
A. YORUBA TRADITIONAL ACCOUNT OF CREATION
Every ethnic group in African society has its own myth about the creation of the universe. According to
the Yoruba, the creation started when Olodumare sent Orisa nla to mould sixteen lifeless human
images. He moulded it and brought it to Olodumare. Olodumare now breathe on them and they became
living souls and were sent to the earth to multiply.
Olodumare sent orisa-nla with snails shell containing sand and water and two birds when he got to the
earth, he threw the shell down. The water splashed on one side and the sand on the other side. He puts
down the birds to spread the sand, the sand could not reach some places; such places are still with water
till today. They eventually became rivers, Oceans, Sea etc. while the places with sand became dry land
that we see today. When Orisa-Nla reported to Olodumare that he had completed the job, Olodumare
sent a Chameleon to inspect it; after the inspection, the Chameleon reported that it is well done.
B. EDO TRADITIONAL ACCOUNT OF CREATION
In Edo, God is called Osanobua. HE gave power to Osanobua to mold and make man and Osanobua he

WEEK 7
TOPIC: THE DIGNITY OF MAN IN GOD’S CREATION
CONTENT
Man was created in the image of God after His likeness. Man is thus referred to as the pyramid of creation. He
is the crownb of creation. God gave man power to sub due and have dominion over every created things. He is
equally given the power to be fruitful and multiply.
The special consideration given to man at creation is dignity. When man was created on the sixth day, God felt
that man should not be alone and this made God to create a helper for them. “Then the Lord God said, it is not
good for the man to be alone, I will make him a helper suitable for him’ (Gen 2: 18).
The dignity of man in God’s creation rises everyday, the Ten Commandments given to man attests to this. In the
fourth commandment, man was asked to remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy. Man has been able to rise in
dignity through this.
TOPIC: THE DIGNITY OF MAN IN GOD’S CREATION

CONTENT
We go to church on Sabbath and many of us become priests, thereby placing us in the higher position to
worship and magnify the work of God. And the priesthood of man started in the garden of Eden which is the
garden of God.
We marry today. It is a charge from God and we are elevated in this. When a helper was created for the first
man , the man was so overwhelmed that he said “This is now the bone of my bones, and flesh and of my flesh,
she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. For this cause, a man shall leave his father and
his mother and shall cleave to his wife and they shall become on flesh. (Gen 2: 23-24).
The image of God is shown in terms of human intelligence, creativity, love and care for others. Man is able to
reason and distinguish between bad and good in creativity because man can design and mould image like
himself and many other things that are good for decoration. The love of man has for one another emanated from
God and we take care of ourselves as God takes care of us from the beginning.
For man to thank god because he realized that God put him in position of dignity, he offers sacrifices like that of
Cain, Abel and Abraham. Even now, man tends to give thanks to God for his mercy.

2. What is dignity? Show how Adam and Eve were dignified by God.
WEEK 8
TOPIC: MAN’S SHARE IN GOD’S CREATIVE ACTIVITY
CONTENT
God created the first man from the dust and made a helper fit for him. Adsam called her woman because she
was taken from his ribs. God gave Adam power over all creatures. He told man to rule over the fish, Plants,
anials and every other creatures. God commanded man to be fruitful and multiply over the world. Man thus
shared in the creative power of God through different activities such as PROCREATION (bringing new life into
being) and the development of material resources of the earth for the benefit of all people.
The first man and woman (Adam and Eve) gave birth to Cain and Abel, and since then we have been
multiplying on the earth. When man and woman meet, the woman will conceive for a period of nine month. The
child will grow up (male or female) and later produce his/her own offspring, so we can see here that man is also
helping God in producing new life.
TOPIC: MAN’S SHARE IN GOD’S CREATIVE ACTIVITY

CONTENT
God delegated man to rule the world and this has made man intellectually aware of his environment. Man is
also conscious of life with his emotions and desires and because of power and energy, he is motivated to act.
Man has been able to cultivate the land to plant his food. After God has driven man away from the Garden of
Eden and there was no more free food for him to eat, man had to find way of feeding himself and his family.
The same thing is happening today.
As a result of intellectual development of man, he is able to develop material resources within his reach.
Examples are food production, trees used to make fir to cook his food and other things such as chairs, tables,
buildings, books, white board marker etc.
Nowadays, there has been increase in technological development and man is now making cars, aero planes, and
trains to carry people from one place to another.
Also, through the G.S.M Phones, one can reach people far away even without physically going there, thereby
making communication easier and faster.
