  1. RERC 1-01a Mystery of God Genesis 1 :11-13 Then God said, ‘Let the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.’ And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. 1of3 P3

  2. Genesis 1 :20-25 RERC 1-01a Mystery of God And God said, ‘Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the dome of the sky.’ So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, of every kind, with which the waters swarm, and every winged bird of every kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them, saying, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.’ And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. P3 2of3

  3. RERC 1-01a Mystery of God Genesis 1 :20-25(cont’d) And God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind. ’ And it was so. God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind, and the cattle of every kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good. 2of3 P3

  4. Luke 15:11-32 RERC 1-03a Revealed Truth of God The Loving Father and the Two Sons Then Jesus said, ‘There was a man who had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, “Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me.” So he divided his property between them. A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and travelled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living. When he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. 1of6 P3

  5. Luke 15:11-32(cont’d) RERC 1-03a Revealed Truth of God The Loving Father and the Two Sons So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself he said, “How many of my father’s hired hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands.’ 2of6 P3

  6. RERC 1-03a Revealed Truth of God Luke 15:11-32(cont’d) The Loving Father and the Two Sons So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.” But the father said to his slaves, “Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!” And they began to celebrate. P3 3of6

  7. RERC 1-03a Revealed Truth of God Luke 15:11-32(cont’d) The Loving Father and the Two Sons  ‘Now his elder son was in the field; and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. He called one of the slaves and asked what was going on. He replied, “Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has got him back safe and sound.” Then he became angry and refused to go in. 4of6 P3

  8. Luke 15:11-32(cont’d) RERC 1-03a Revealed Truth of God The Loving Father and the Two Sons His father came out and began to plead with him. But he answered his father, “Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. 5of6 P3

  9. Luke 15:11-32(cont’d) RERC 1-03a Revealed Truth of God The Loving Father and the Two Sons But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!” Then the father said to him, “Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.” ’ 6of6 P3

  10. RERC 1-03a Revealed Truth of God Matthew1:18-25 Joseph’s dream Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 1of2 P3

  11. Matthew1:18-25(cont’d) RERC 1-03a Revealed Truth of God Joseph’s dream She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.’ All this took place to fulfil what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: ‘Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,   and they shall name him Emmanuel’,which means, ‘God is with us.’ When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife, but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son; and he named him Jesus. 1of2 P3

  12. Matthew2:13-15 RERC 1-03a Revealed Truth of God The Flight into Egypt  Now after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.’ Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, ‘Out of Egypt I have called my son.’ P3

  13. Mark1:9-11 RERC 1-04a Revealed Truth of God The Baptism of Jesus In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.’ P3

  14. Mark 14:33-36 esp. V36 RERC 1-04a Revealed Truth of God Jesus prays, ‘Abba, Father’ He (Jesus) took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be distressed and agitated. And he said to them, ‘I am deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and keep awake.’ And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. He said, ‘Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet, not what I want, but what you want.’ P3

  15. Galatians 4:4-6 RERC 1-04a Revealed Truth of God The Spirit Prays In Us But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children. And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’ So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God. P3

  16. Luke: 2:22-38 RERC 1-05a Son of God Simeon and Anna Jesus Is Presented in the Temple  When the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the law of the Lord, ‘Every firstborn male shall be designated as holy to the Lord’), and they offered a sacrifice according to what is stated in the law of the Lord, ‘a pair of turtle-doves or two young pigeons.’ 1of6 P3

  17. Luke: 2:22-38(cont’d) RERC 1-05a Son of God Simeon and Anna Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. Guided by the Spirit, Simeon came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the law. 2of6 P3

  18. Luke: 2:22-38(cont’d) RERC 1-05a Son of God The Song of Simeon ‘Master, now you are dismissing your servant in peace,   according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation,    which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles   and for glory to your people Israel.’ . 3of6 P3

  19. Luke:2:22-38(cont’d) RERC 1-05a Son of God Simeon speaks to Mary And the child’s father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, ‘This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed —and a sword will pierce your own soul too.’ . 4of6 P3

  20. Luke:2:22-38(cont’d) RERC 1-05a Son of God Anna There was also a prophet, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, having lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage, then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshipped there with fasting and prayer night and day. At that moment she came, and began to praise God and to speak about the child to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem. . 5of6 P3

When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.’ . 6of6 1of2 P3 P3

  22. Matthew1:18-25(cont’d) RERC 1-05a Son of God The Birth of Jesus the Saviour  She (Mary) will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.’ All this took place to fulfil what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: ‘Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,   and they shall name him Emmanuel’,which means, ‘God is with us.’ When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife, but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son; and he named him Jesus. . 2of2 P3

  23. Matthew2:13-15 RERC 1-05a Son of God The Flight into Egypt  Now after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.’ Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfil what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, ‘Out of Egypt I have called my son.’ . P3

  24. Matthew2:13-15 RERC 1-05a Son of God Herod and the Wise Men In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, ‘Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage.’ When King Herod heard this, he was frightened, and all Jerusalem with him; and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. 1of4 P3

  25. Matthew2:1-9 RERC 1-05a Son of God Herod and the Wise Men They told him, ‘In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it has been written by the prophet: “And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,   are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;for from you shall come a ruler   who is to shepherd my people Israel.” ’  Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared. 2of4 P3

  26. Matthew2:1-9 (cont’d) RERC 1-05a Son of God Herod and the Wise Men Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, ‘Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage.’ When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. 3of4 P3

  27. Matthew2:1-9 (cont’d) RERC 1-05a Son of God Herod and the Wise Men Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, ‘Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage.’ When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. 3of3 P3

This was to fulfil what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, ‘Out of Egypt I have called my son.’ . 1of3 P3

  29. Matthew2:13-21 (cont’d) RERC 1-05a Son of God The Innocents  When Herod saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, he was infuriated, and he sent and killed all the children in and around Bethlehem who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had learned from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah: ‘A voice was heard in Ramah,   wailing and loud lamentation,Rachel weeping for her children;   she refused to be consoled, because they are no more.’ . 2of3 P3

  30. Matthew2:13-21 (cont’d) RERC 1-05a Son of God The Return from Egypt  When Herod died, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child’s life are dead.’ Then Joseph got up, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. . 3of3 P3

  31. Luke 6:12-16 RERC 1-05a Son of God The Call of the Twelve Apostles Now during those days he went out to the mountain to pray; and he spent the night in prayer to God.

  32. Luke 6:12-16 RERC 1-06a Son of God The Healing of the Man Born Blind As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’ Jesus answered, ‘Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God’s works might be revealed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. . 1of2 P3

  33. Luke 6:12-16 (cont’d) RERC 1-06a Son of God The Healing of the Man Born Blind As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.’ When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man’s eyes, saying to him, ‘Go, wash in the pool of Siloam’ (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see. . 2of2 P3

  34. Matthew 8:14-15 RERC 1-06a Son of God The healing of Peter’s Mother-in-law When Jesus entered Peter’s house, he saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever; he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve him. . P3

  35. Luke 15:1-7 RERC 1-06a Son of God The Parable of the Lost Sheep Now all the tax-collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him.

When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. . 1of2 P3

  36. Luke 15:1-7 (cont’d) RERC 1-06a Son of God The Parable of the Lost Sheep And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, “Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.” Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance. . 2of2 P3

  37. Luke 15:8-10 RERC 1-06a Son of God The Parable of the Lost Coin  ‘Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbours, saying, “Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.” Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.’ . 2of2 P3

  38. RERC 1-06a Son of God Luke 15:11-32 The Parable of the Loving Father and the Lost Son Then Jesus said, ‘There was a man who had two sons.

A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and travelled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living.

  39. RERC 1-06a Son of God Luke 15:11-32(cont’d) The Parable of the Loving Father and the Lost Son So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself he said, “How many of my father’s hired hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands.’ 2of6 P3

  40. Luke 15:11-32(cont’d) RERC 1-06a Son of God The Parable of the Loving Father and the Lost Son So he set off and went to his father.

Then the son said to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.” But the father said to his slaves, “Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!” And they began to celebrate. P3 3of6

  41. Luke 15:11-32(cont’d) RERC 1-06a Son of God The Parable of the Loving Father and the Lost Son  ‘Now his elder son was in the field; and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. He called one of the slaves and asked what was going on. He replied, “Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has got him back safe and sound.” Then he became angry and refused to go in. 4of6 P3

  42. Luke 15:11-32(cont’d) RERC 1-06a Son of God The Parable of the Loving Father and the Lost Son His father came out and began to plead with him. But he answered his father, “Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. 5of6 P3

  43. Luke 15:11-32(cont’d) RERC 1-06a Son of God The Parable of the Loving Father and the Lost Son But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!” Then the father said to him, “Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.” ’ 6of6 P3

  44. Mark 14:33-42 RERC 1-07a Son of God Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane  They went to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, ‘Sit here while I pray.’ He took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be distressed and agitated. And he said to them, ‘I am deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and keep awake.’ And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. He said, ‘Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet, not what I want, but what you want.’ 1of3 P3

  45. Mark 14:32-42 RERC 1-07a Son of God Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane He came and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, ‘Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep awake one hour? Keep awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.’ And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. 2of3 P3

  46. Mark 14:32-42 RERC 1-07a Son of God Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane And once more he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to say to him. He came a third time and said to them, ‘Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Enough! The hour has come; the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up, let us be going. See, my betrayer is at hand.’ 3of3 P3

  47. Matthew 27: 15-26 RERC 1-07a Son of God Pilate sentences Jesus to Death  Now at the festival the governor was accustomed to release a prisoner for the crowd, anyone whom they wanted. At that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Jesus Barabbas. So after they had gathered, Pilate said to them, ‘Whom do you want me to release for you, Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Messiah?’ 1of4 P3

  48. Matthew 27: 15-26 RERC 1-07a Son of God Pilate sentences Jesus to Death For he (Pilate) realized that it was out of jealousy that they had handed him over. While he was sitting on the judgement seat, his wife sent word to him, ‘Have nothing to do with that innocent man, for today I have suffered a great deal because of a dream about him.’ 2of4 P3

  49. Matthew 27: 15-26 RERC 1-07a Son of God Pilate sentences Jesus to Death Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed. The governor again said to them, ‘Which of the two do you want me to release for you?’ And they said, ‘Barabbas.’ Pilate said to them, ‘Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?’ All of them said, ‘Let him be crucified!’ Then he asked, ‘Why, what evil has he done?’ But they shouted all the more, ‘Let him be crucified!’ 3of4 P3

  50. Matthew 27: 15-26 RERC 1-07a Son of God Pilate sentences Jesus to Death So when Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.’ Then the people as a whole answered, ‘His blood be on us and on our children!’ So he released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified. 4of4 P3
