Strand: Scripture, Israel and Jesus (SIJL9-10E2)
Levels 9 and 10
For the Christian, the resurrection of Jesus the Christ is the central message of the Good News of salvation. Christ’s message of salvation is one of hope, liberation, new life and victory through death.
Articulate an understanding of Christian hope, liberation and new life brought about by Jesus’ life, death and resurrection as expressed in Scripture.
Elaborations
From Scriptural accounts of Jesus, Christians seek to find meaning for their own and others’ suffering and death. The refusal of Jesus’ followers to accept the reality of his forthcoming arrest and condemnation is a reflection of humankind’s inability to cope with the ultimate question. But more powerful is the trilogy of Christ’s passion, death and resurrection, where Christians find meaning in Christ’s eventual triumph.
