IMAGES, SYMBOLS AND LANGUAGE OF JESUS

Who is Jesus? There are numerous passages in the bible that share images and symbols of Jesus.

“I am the bread of life; he who comes to me shall not hunger.” (John 6:35)

“I am the light of the world; he who follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12)

“I am the gate; if anyone enters through me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” (John 10:9)

“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for His sheep.” (John 10:11)

Students in grade 5 have been exploring these passages, other imagery and the “I AM” statements made by Jesus. To reflect on their learning they have created some of their own descriptions.

Come see our work on display near the grade 5/6 classrooms

Amelia, Mietta, Jess and Sarah: Our focus for religion has been Images of Jesus. We created Word Art filled with words explaining what Jesus' character is like. Some examples of words that we used are saviour, fearless, our shield and leader. We had to think of anything that came to mind when we thought of Jesus. We are glad we can share our learning with the rest of the school community!

Natalie and Zoe: This semester we have been learning about Jesus in Art. We have created drawings of things that represent him, and we have researched the bible and learnt how to find passages. Learning about Jesus is really inspiring and helping us to remember to forgive and forget and to help each other to be successful. It has been so great learning about Jesus and God and what Jesus has done for us. He went through so much for us. We should always remember him.

This semester we have been learning about who he was, a great person who was kind to everyone that he met.
