(10 minutes, easy set-up)
Students will express ways to experience the blessings of the Beatitudes.
(10 minutes, easy set-up)
Provide a copy of the “Being Real” activity sheet and a pen for each student.
Distribute copies of the “Being Real” activity sheet and pens to students. Say: We can easily think the Beatitudes are just about people who are poor, mourning, or hungry. But Jesus clearly meant to cause us to consider our own spiritual condition. Instruct students to complete the worksheet individually. After a few minutes, instruct students to draw boxes around the results of the blessings. Say: The good news is, even in our spiritual poverty, God provides a blessing so we can live in relationship with Him. Encourage students who did not complete the worksheet to finish it as part of their time with God this week.
