About This Product
The 4 Gospels: Comparing Jesus' Identity Lesson
A priceless resource for educators teaching grades nine and ten, especially focused on life studies and religion, The 4 Gospels: Comparing Jesus' Identity Lesson is here to simplify your lesson preparation.
This plan provides a unique exploration of the distinctive portrayals of Jesus in the four gospels. As you guide your students :
- Mark depicts Jesus as a suffering servant.
- Matthew paints him as the faithful Israelite or Jewish teacher, linking his origins with Abraham and David.
- Luke traces his lineage back to Adam demonstrating that he represents all of humanity.
- John boldly states 'the Word was God'.
User Interactivity & Engagement
Promoting interaction in classrooms, this resource advocates whole group discussions dissecting contrasting treatments of topics (an idea inherent within CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RH.9-10.9 standard), smaller group partnerships translating teachings into real-life contexts or solo reflections for personal interpretations.
Note - These depictions are intentionally simplified to suit high-school-level learners; they do not stir any intended controversy while leaving room for complex scholarly debates.
Included Resources
Your lesson comes equipped with an editable four-page Word document worksheet making it effortless for you! It's aimed at helping students comprehend how these diverse portrayals neither contradict each other but are rather complementary - shedding light on varying facets of Christ's identity according to historical perspectives.
