Review the Memo- ry Words by inviting your students to pair up and develop actions to match the words. While one reads the words, the other can do the actions. Then have them reverse their roles. T E A C H E R T I P S Use time throughout the day to play a game of Who Do You Say I Am? As you line students up or pause between school- day events, call out characteristics of Jesus as either God or man. Challenge your students to answer in fun and quiet ways, like touching their noses for characteristics of God and tugging their ears for characteristics of man. Jesus Shows His Glory I N T O T H E L E S S O N Write three occupations (dentist, florist, doctor, electrician, construction worker, or the like) on the board. Number them. Instruct your students to listen to your questions and answer them by showing the number of fingers that represent their answer. The goal is for your students to choose who they would listen to for advice. Adjust the questions below to the list of three occupations you chose. 1. Which person could help you design a bouquet of flowers? 2. Which person could find out if you broke a bone? 3. Which person could figure out different ways to add a deck to a house? 4. Which person could identify different kinds of flowers? 5. Which person can check your ears for an infection? 6. Which person can take care of your teeth? 7. Which person can fix electrical outlets? When you finish this activity, introduce the Bible story. It's important to listen to the right person for the right in- formation. In today's Bible story, Peter, James, and John are with Jesus. They experience something remarkable and were told to listen to Jesus. Let's review that Bible story. I N T O O U R L I V E S Organize your students into groups, with each group reading a section of the Bible story from page 105 in the Student Book. After reading, discuss the significance of Moses and Elijah. Both Moses and Elijah are Old Testament characters. Mo- ses received God's Law on a mountain (Mount Sinai). Jesus kept all of God's Law perfectly. Elijah was God's prophet. He spoke God's messages to His people. Jesus is God and thus speaks the Word of God. He is the Word made flesh. Do the activity on page 106 together. Have your students sort facts about Jesus as true God and true man. They should color in the circles next to all the words or phrases that talk about Jesus as true man and leave the circles by the words or phrases that show Jesus as true God blank. Read the phrases and encourage your students to use a ruler to keep their place on the page. Once finished, challenge your students to connect the blank dots using a crayon or marker to make a cross. Then point out the outline of the open Bible. By revealing His divine nature to His followers, Jesus strengthened them. Jesus strengthens us, too, through His Word and in Baptism. What great love Jesus had for His dis- ciples—and for us too! 106 UNIT 7 | LESSON 51 The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 We believe Jesus is true God and true man at the same time. Color the circles by the words that tell about Jesus as true man. Connect the circles that tell about Jesus as true God. What do you see? JESUS SHOWS HIS GLORY Jesus walked and talked with others. Jesus stilled a storm. Jesus was transfigured. Jesus healed a blind man. Jesus fed 5,000 people. Jesus ate bread. Jesus healed 10 lepers. Jesus wept. Jesus had a body and soul. Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus slept. Jesus was born a baby boy.
