Master Teacher Core Study: His Identity in Scripture
(15–20 minutes, easy set-up)
Learners will study John 1:1-5, 14 and 5:31-47 to examine Jesus’ identity in Scripture as God, Creator, and Savior.
Print one copy of the Master Teacher Outline for your use. Provide a copy of the Learner Worksheet and a pen for each learner.
Use the Master Teacher Outline to teach John 1:1–5, 14 and 5:31–47. Then, lead learners to form groups of five or six to discuss the worksheet questions:
- John described Jesus as “the Word,” “Creator,” “Life,” and “Light.” How do these titles for Jesus shape your view of who Jesus is?
- Why is Jesus’ incarnation—becoming a man and living among us—important to our faith?
- In what ways has accepting Jesus as Messiah brought truth, life, and light into your life?
- How can believers offer their witness to Jesus’ identity as they encounter people every day?
