Jesus’ Teachings About Himself

Overzicht

Welcome to the comprehensive course on Jesus’ Teachings About Himself in Christian Religious Studies. Throughout the Four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, Jesus presents Himself in various symbolic ways to convey profound truths about His identity and mission. The central focus of this course is to delve into the different teachings of Jesus about Himself and unravel the meanings behind the symbols He used.

As we embark on this enlightening journey, our primary objective is to analyse the diverse teachings of Jesus concerning His own person. We will explore passages from the Gospels that highlight significant statements made by Jesus, such as "I am the bread of life" (John 6:35) and "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12). By critically examining these teachings, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of who Jesus claimed to be.

Moreover, our exploration will lead us to deduce the underlying reasons behind Jesus’ teachings about Himself. By contextualising the historical and cultural background of Jesus' ministry, we can uncover the motives behind His symbolic language and self-revelation. Through this process, we seek to appreciate the strategic importance of Jesus’ teachings in shaping the beliefs of His disciples and followers.

Furthermore, we will interpret the meanings of the various symbols employed by Jesus to describe Himself. Whether it be the imagery of the Good Shepherd or the True Vine, each symbol conveys profound truths about Jesus' character, mission, and relationship with His followers. By examining the symbolic language used by Jesus, we aim to decipher the layers of meaning embedded within His teachings.

In our quest to understand Jesus' teachings about Himself, we will navigate through key passages from the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles, analysing the depth and significance of each teaching. Through reflection and discussion, we will engage with the theological and doctrinal implications of Jesus' self-revelation, seeking to deepen our faith and knowledge of the divine Messiah.
