  1. Some things have a meaning..Can you guess what the meaning of these objects is? Do any of these objects have POWER to actually do what they mean? Eg can a medal actually make someone brave?

  2. What are Sacraments ? • To define a Sacrament • To explain how the Sacraments make God’s life and power real • To evaluate whether objects can make God’s life and power present to us Was God really present in Jesus’ body ? Did God miracles through Jesus’ body? Forgive sins through Jesus’ hands? Could other objects or things make God really present?

  3. 1. How did God first show his power on earth? 2. Why doesn’t God give himself to us now through Jesus’ own physical body? What does He do instead? Para.2 3. What are the Sacraments? Write out the definition and put a box around it. IMPORTANT TO KNOW !! **What sort of “objects with a meaning” does God use, to make real His power for us? God worked in Jesus to heal sickness, forgive sins, rise from the dead. God gave himself to us through Jesus body, and sacrificed himself for us on the cross. Jesus doesn’t walk on earth any more -but God still gives us His power to heal, forgive sins in other ways - through the Sacraments. The Sacraments are religious ceremonies that use objects with a special meaning. They give us God’s power and eternal life – the life and power that was in Jesus.

Laying on of Hands 5. – because that is how the first apostles passed on the gift of the holy spirit to others 6. – because kings and prophets in the OT were given their mission and strength when they were anointed with it Oil

  7. Jesus in His human body ACTUALLY brought God’s life and power into the world. So if Jesus’ body, by God’s choice, brought God’s life into the world, why can’t other objects ? Some Christians say physical objects like bread, or water, only remind you about God, but can’t actually make God’s life and power real to us.What do you think? Believe in Sacraments Don’t believe in Sacraments OTHER CHRISTIANS CATHOLICS Objects like water, oil, bread and wine just REMIND us about God. Objects like water, oil, bread and wine ACTUALLY BRING GOD to us in a real way. Compare what Catholics and other Christians believe about whether objects can bring God’s power into the world. Catholics believe that…but other Christians believe that… **Do you think objects used in Church ceremonies actually make God’s life and power real to us, or are they just reminders? This bread & wine actuallyIS Jesus’ body and blood This bread & wine just reminds us of what Jesus did This water is just an image of how we are washed from sin in baptism This water, used in baptism, actually washes sins away and actually makes us to be born into the life of God
