PROCLAMATION
“Make straight the way of the Lord.” John the Baptist
What do we know about John the Baptist from the Infancy Narratives? (Lk 1:41-45; 67-80)
John was a Levite.
His ministry fulfilled the prophecy that Elijah would return and “turn the hearts” of the people.
Clothing & Food: camel’s hair, leather belt, locusts and wild honey
Message: “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
Ministry: baptism and forgiveness of sins through water
BAPTISM OF JESUS
Read Matthew 3:13-17
Why did Jesus want to be baptized by John? What did he mean by “it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness”?
Connect Jesus to humanity
Continue to connect Jesus as the heir of David’s Kingdom
Promised land… to… Eternal Life
New Adam
TEMPTATION IN THE DESERT
Read Luke 4:1-13 Jesus fasts for 40 days – what OT events involved
the number 40? Flood – 40 days and nights
Fasts of Moses and Elijah – 40 days
Israel in the wilderness – 40 years
Overcomes temptations that humans could not. Hunger – bodily temptation – Jesus shows that
God’s plan is more important
Testing God by misquoting Scripture
Glorious kingship
MIRACLES: NATURE & HEALING
Wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaWI4-n0z_0
First miracle
Prefigures the Eucharist and the Wedding Feast of the Lamb
Shows Mary as our intercessor
Cleansing of the Leper (Mark 1:40-45) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7oJ3SDmVTA
Healing miracles like the cleansing of the leper made some people think that Jesus was the Messiah – who would heal the sick.
Healing the Paralytic (Mark 2:1-12) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LqHYkGU4Zg
Demonstrates the belief that sickness was caused by sin. The forgiveness of sins would come with healing.
Only God could forgive sins, and only the priests could declare that the sins were forgiven by God.
Healing of a Blind Men (John 9:1-41) Jesus pointed out that not all sickness was caused by sin.
The blind man knew that Jesus was Lord (Faith) and the scribes could not.
CASTING OUT DEMONS
Mark 1:21-28
Should show that Jesus is the Messiah, the Lord
Pharisees and other leaders don’t believe it, and say that Jesus is casting out demons by demonic power.
Only God is strong enough to cast out Satan.
EATING WITH SINNERS AND OUTCASTS
Tax collectors - hated because they stole people’s money – considered sinners
Matthew/Levi
Zacchaeus
Women – Jewish men did not speak to women in public
Samaritans – Jewish people did not interact with Samaritans
Jesus’ relationship with sinners and outcasts demonstrates that Jesus’ ministry and salvation is for all people.
THE TWELVE APOSTLES
The same number as the tribes of Israel – the Messiah would come and restore the Kingdom of Israel
“Apostle” – means “ones who are sent” – they are to go out and be the leaders of the Church, the new Israel.
Most of the apostles were of the lower class
THE 12 APOSTLES
Sea of Galilee
JESUS’ ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM
Jesus knew that the journey into Jerusalem would bring about his suffering and death.
However, the people there were still awaiting the Messiah they had heard was coming.
He road into Jerusalem according to the prophesy of Zechariah – on a donkey. And the people greeted Jesus with palm branches and sang “Hosanna in the highest!”
“Hosanna” means “Save” or “Give Salvation”
