Task 1: Choose five words that you would use to describe Jesus.
Task 2: Find the answers to these questions:
- When was Jesus born?
- What religion was he?
- Which country was he born in?
- Which town was he born in?
- How old was he when he died?
- How did he die?
- What do Christians think he did 3 days after his death?
No-one knows what Jesus actually looked like, because there are no physical descriptions of Jesus in the Bible.
So every picture of Jesus is either: A personal response or the person’s own idea of what Jesus was like or… An image that tries to get us to think in a certain way about him.
Task 3: For each of the following images complete these tasks…
- Use one word to describe the image
- How would you describe Jesus in this image?
- Do you like/not like this image? Why?
Task 4: Depending on your gradepath, complete one of the following…
Level 4:
Give three examples of different ways that Jesus can be portrayed.
Level 5-6:
Why are there different interpretations of Jesus and the way that he looks?
Level 7+:
Which interpretation do you agree with the most? Explain your answer.
