An Imaginative Encounter with Jesus… Pages 57-59
We can get to know Jesus through studying him as a historical person and feeling his presence in our lives. • Jesus said that whenever two or three were gathered in his name, he would be with them. Therefore, worship is a very good way of getting to know God. • Jesus is present physically in the community in the Eucharist. • Jesus is present in our relationships when we act justly, kindly and compassionately.
What about uncertainty? • Read “Believing What Can’t Be Proved” on page 54. • Summarize the uncertainty principleand why we can’t prove the existence of God scientifically. • How can we come to an understanding of God through what we see in the universe?
Read your copy of the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed and put it in your notes. • Notice the differences between the two. • Notice the similarities.
In your notes, write a creed, telling what you believe about God. A creed is a statement of beliefs, from the Latin, credo, or “I believe”. ***Your Creed should have 10-12 lines. • Re-copy your creed onto good copy paper. • Decorate your creed appropriately (Christian symbolism).
