2.9 The Prologue (The Wilderness)

How is this similar to us writing an essay?



READ THE PROLOGUE ALOUD IN CLASS - Mk 1:1-15

The Prologue shows that Jesus:

* Jesus will not be distracted from his <<<MISSION and WORK>>>
* He rejects the tempation of EVIL ... comes out of the desert ready to ___________________________.
* This will lead to his ____________!

Got to be real here. This was an absolutely tortuous and cruel way of dying!!!

JESUS DID THIS FOR US - HE DIED FOR US OUT OF HIS ABSOLUTE LOVE FOR US ALL!!!

THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS SHOW LOVE AND RESPECT FOR ALL PEOPLE - FRIENDS, FAMILY, AQUINAS' STUDENTS AND STAFF, NEIGHBOURS, WORK MATES, PEOPLE ON THE STREET, PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP .............

Must finish on a positive happy note!!!!

Let's see Jesus in good times earlier on...
