Session 5

Aims

• To teach the true meaning of Jesus’ death on the cross




• To show that his death is the key to a relationship with God




• To consider the reality of the resurrection

It is likely that participants will approach the events surrounding Jesus’ death and resurrection with mixed understanding and experience. Some will be familiar with the story; some will have a hazy recollection; and some may know little or even nothing about it.

For all participants, session five offers an opportunity to understand why Jesus’ death and resurrection are so fundamental to the Christian faith and to consider their own response.

The session includes:

• Two DVD clips




• Personal reflection on the cross




• Group exercises and discussion




• Reflection on the road to Emmaus




• Follow-up activity
