USAGE OF RELEVANT EXPERIENCES

He also used images to present how it is to experience God's saving love: good shepherd forgiving father, Good Samaritan, etc. These parables pointed to who God is, and how God desires to live in friendship with all of us. These parables pointed to the reality that God cares for his children, most especially those who were lost and astray.

JESUS’ PASSION AND DEATH

Jesus also proclaimed the reign of God and showed the meaning of being fully human through the actions that he did in society

EATING AND DRINKING WITH SINNERS

Stories of Jesus eating and drinking with sinners are numerous in the Bible (Zacchaeus, etc.).

FRIENDSHIP WITH WOMEN

We see the life of Jesus and how he had numerous women who were following him and his teachings In Jesus they experienced what it was like to be included in society. Recalling how Jewish society treated women, Jesus provided a safe space for them where they are not mistreated, disrespected, and looked down upon

This action of Jesus models what it means to be fully human because it shows how important it is for human beings to respect and accept people for who they are, to see them as equally made and loved by God.

CALLED THE UNQUALIFIED

Jesus was known to have 12 Apostles. If we examine the profile of the Apostles, most if not all of them would not have qualified to be a follower of a Rabbi (Teacher) like Jesus. Matthew was a tax collector, and Peter was a fisherman with a bad temper. But Jesus shows that in God's reign, everyone has a role and purpose in life and that he would use the gifts that we have for his service,

WASHING OF THE FEET

When Jesus washed the feet of his Apostles, he gave them a command to love and serve. In this action, Jesus showed what it is like to live in God's friendship - that in being with God had a mission for each to love and serve each other too. Jesus also models how it is to be human - that our humanity is experienced when we can give ourselves to other people in love and service

JESUS’ RESSURECTION

Jesus experienced every ounce of pain and suffering. He modeled what it meant to be fully human as he stood for what he believed in and as he remained faithful to his relationship with God the Father, and the mission that it entailed.
