Jesus as God incarnate

Meaning of incarnation

1. God took on the full limitations of the human condition when he became Jesus ‘the Word became flesh and lived among us’– shows how much he loves the human race.

2. Jesus went through the whole cycle of a human life – shows Christians that God understands their needs.

Explain two reasons why the incarnation is important to Christians (5)

The Annunciation (Luke)

• The message is for Mary – a human with free will – Mary has the choice to say yes. ‘Let it be with me according to your word.’ Jesus is son of Mary – fully human.

• ‘He will be great and will be Son of he most High’ is a reference to God. Shows Jesus is fully God.

• The message is also for everyone – God is fulfilling the promises he made to Abraham and his descendants

1. Matthew’s Gospel - The role of Joseph

1.Someone willing to obey God’s plan; initially doubts Mary’s story but believes the message of the angel in a dream.2. Accepts not being able to name his son; shows that he accepts God’s will.

Comparing Matthew and Luke• Luke focuses on Mary and Matthew focuses on Joseph.• In both accounts Mary is described as a virgin.• In both, God works through humans to achieve his plan for

humanity.• Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit• An angel announced Jesus’ birth.

• Explain two ways in which the gospels of Luke and Matthew support each other in their teaching about the incarnation (4)

• Explain two ways in which Joseph is seen as a role model for Christians (4)

Jesus, the Word of God (John’s Gospel)

• In the beginning was the Word

• the Word existed before all things. While the other Gospels show what happened when the Word became human (as Jesus), John is also stressing that the Word is an eternal being.

• The Word was with God and the Word was God

• Jesus is God but is also a distinct Person of the Trinity with His own role.

• The Word became flesh and dwelt among us

• Verse 14 is the great statement of the Incarnation. The Word, the self-expression of God, took on human nature and came down to earth at a particular time to live as a full human being.

• The Word as an expression of love

• The Word is an expression of God’s love for humans. Jesus is God’s gift to help humans learn to respond fully to the love of God. Jesus came to bring people to the truth. It was an offering for people to accept or reject. Christians believe that God does not force people to choose Him; instead he stretches out his hands and hope people will accept His grace.

A word comes from within a person and is an expression of what is inside that person. In the same way, the Word is God’s self-expression.

Give two Christian beliefs about the Word of God given in John’s gospel.

Jesus as the Son of Man

Jesus as the Son of God

• Jesus was asked at his trial if he was ‘the Son of the Blessed One’. Jesus replied ‘I am’ The words ‘I am’ were the name that God used to refer to Himself when he spoke to Moses. Jesus is showing that he shares God’s power.

• Jesus shows he is the Son of God at the resurrection when he is raised to new life and sits at God’s right hand. He cannot become God at the resurrection – must have always been God.

• The gospels show Jesus as human – he was tempted, he wept when his friend died, he suffered and died in agony.

• Sometimes Jesus refers to himself as Son of Man to refer to Old Testament prophecies. In the Old Testament there are prophecies which state that the messiah will be a Son of Man; this title refers to someone with power and authority.

Christian symbols

Power of symbols – Conveys more than words - a simple design that can explain a complex idea

Symbols convey a vague idea of what they are pointing to – direct the mind to something that cannot be explained.

Explain two reasons why Christians use symbols (4)

Ichthus

• Means ‘fish’ – Christians are fishers of men. Also an acronym meaning Jesus Christ, Son of God Saviour.

• Used as a declaration of faith – showed they believed Jesus Christ was the Son of God and Saviour.

Alpha and omega

• Alpha – 1st letter, Omega – last letter. God and Jesus are involved in everything from beginning to end.

• Used in Christian art since 1st

century, referred to in Revelation

• Used in vestments, Christian art, churches, Paschal candle.

Chi Rho

• First two leters of Greek word for Christ

• Reminder of the death of Jesus – saves all people

• Has power to inspire – reminds us of the love of God.

‘Religious beliefs are best expressed using words. There is no need for Christians to use symbols’

Agree

• Christianity is based on the Bible as the Word of God. This has more value than any symbol. Teaches us about Jesus as Son of God and son of Man.

• Symbols can only ever give a vague idea about the idea they are trying to convey. Easier to use words – more descriptive

Disagree• Young people use symbols all the

time in their everyday lives and would use religious symbols if they were explained clearly.

• It is human nature to need new visual stimulus and, if churches had no symbols, then people would get bored. If they use lots of symbols then it makes people ponder their faith. For example the Alpha and Omega (give explanation of the symbol)

In conclusion, it seems that symbols do have value. The Ichthus is particularly powerful (state why) The Word of God also has value – Christians need both.

Incarnation and religious art

For religious art1. Religious art inspires people – helps

them ponder the nature of God.

2. Gives people something to focus on as they pray – human mind wanders, statues can help.

3. The incarnation shows that Jesus was fully human, means it’s acceptable to show Jesus in a human form. God chose to reveal himself as a human this means that it is acceptable to portray God as human in statues etc.

Against religious art

• It isn’t possible to portray God accurately

• Art can mislead people – e.g. suggests God is an old man.

• It is against the 2nd

commandment ‘You shall not make for yourself an idol.’

‘Art that depicts God should be forbidden’

Statues of JesusChrist the Redeemer – outstretched arms remind people of the love of God and a symbol of Christ’s obvedience to the Father.

Jesus’ love takes in all people, nobody is excluded from the love of Jesus.

Crucifix – reminder of the pain and suffering of Jesus and of his obedience to the Father.

Reminder of God’s love; wants to save everyone from sin.

Different attitudes – same notes as for religious art

Sacred Heart

• Heart represents the love of Jesus, burning with love for the world.

• Thorns around the heart represent the sin of humanity – the flames show that Jesus loves the world in spite of this.

What you need to know

Sources of authority

• Scripture

• Jesus as the fulfilment of the law, a model of virtues and authoritative source for moral teaching as

• exemplified in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1–12) and in his teaching on how Christians should

• respond to those in need (Matthew 25:31–46).

Page 24: Instructions - St Augustine's Catholic Schoolstaugs.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Incarnation-final-version.pdf · sacred writing. You lose a mark if you dont do this. marks •5)

Beatitudes

• In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus is the new lawgiver, just as Moses gave the 10 commandments on Mount Sinai so does Jesus give the new law on a mountain. This shows he is the fulfilment of the law.

• Jesus reminds his followers that he wants them to have a new understanding of the law. The commandment ‘Do not commit adultery’ requires you to not even look at another person with lust in your heart. It is the heart that matters more than the external action.

• The Beatitudes show that Jesus wants his followers to have a new attitude to life e.gBlessed are the merciful shows that Christians must be forgiving.

• Blessed are those ho mourn for they shall be comforted shows that Christians must focus on the joys of the afterlife, also that those who suffer are not being punished by God.

The Sheep and the Goats

• Tells us to care for people in need. If they do this then they are helping Jesus himself.

• Anyone who claims to follow Jesus but ignores the needs of the poor will be damned. Anyone who cares for the poor will be welcomed to heaven.

Sheep and Goats is NOT part of the Sermon on the Mount!

What you need to know

• Tradition

• The meaning and significance of ‘the glory of God is a human being, fully alive’ from the writings of

• Irenaeus (Adversus Haereses, 4,20,7).

Page 26: Instructions - St Augustine's Catholic Schoolstaugs.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Incarnation-final-version.pdf · sacred writing. You lose a mark if you dont do this. marks •5)

St, Irenaeus’ teachings about Jesus

‘the glory of God is human being fully alive.’ This phrase is mainly about Jesus – he was a human who was perfect – followed God’s wishes perfectly.

Jesus sets an example for us to follow – by following Jesus’ teachings we can all become more fully alive.

Adverses Haereses – Jesus is the meeting point between God and humanity. Jesus is the one who reveals God to men.

Jesus as Son of God displays qualities of God – by studying Jesus, his actions and words, we can know God.

Importance of tradition

• Tradition is the work of the Holy Spirit, it helps Christians to understand more clearly what God has revealed.

• These teachings have been accepted down the ages – reassures Catholics that what is written is truly the will of God.

What you need to know

• Magisterium

• The similarities and differences in the understanding of the incarnation as presented in Dei Verbum 4 and Verbum Domini 12.

Page 29: Instructions - St Augustine's Catholic Schoolstaugs.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Incarnation-final-version.pdf · sacred writing. You lose a mark if you dont do this. marks •5)

Dei Verbum 4

• God is revealed in Jesus, and speaks through Jesus. Jesus defeats sin and brings salvation because he is the presence of God.

• God is also ‘a man among men’ sent to be one of us.

Page 30: Instructions - St Augustine's Catholic Schoolstaugs.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Incarnation-final-version.pdf · sacred writing. You lose a mark if you dont do this. marks •5)

Verbum Domini 12.

• ‘the eternal word became small – small enough to fit into a manger. He became a child’ Emphasises that Jesus is God – refers to Jesus as an eternal being.

• God is limited to the ‘manger’ so we can make sense of His love

What you need to know

Practices

• The meaning and significance of grace and the sacramental nature of reality, including how a belief in the incarnation leads to these beliefs.

The meaning of grace

Grace = God’s free gift of His unconditional love to the believerGrace is the life force of the Trinity, it unites the three persons of the Trinity and is poured out to people. We are free to accept or reject this giftJesus (the incarnation) is a perfect example of how to live according to God’s grace.

Sacramental nature of realityGod and man are united in the incarnation. In this act the whole of creation becomes holy. This holiness is an enduring reality. The incarnation means that God’s grace is not just spiritual but was and is really with us on earth and around us every day - a reality.

‘Catholics need the sacraments as constant reminders that God has made them holy.’

Catholics believe that all people are holy because they are made in the image of God as stated in Gen 1 ‘in the image of God he created them.’ This means they have the ability to be close to God. Sacraments remind people that they are close to God at all stages of life.

People are also holy because they have access to God’s grace .This enables them to strive for perfection. Jesus said, ‘Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.’ The Eucharist is a sacrament that a Catholic receives every week to receive God in fullness and enable them to strive for perfection.

‘Catholics need the sacraments as constant reminders that God has made them holy.’

Others, such as the Salvation Army, have no sacraments and say it is possible to live a holy life without them. The inward experience of the spiritual life is more important than the sacraments.

The Salvation Army suggests that sacraments make people rely on the outward signs of spiritual grace rather than on grace itself. They believe salvation comes from the grace of God received by faith. This is what makes them holy, not sacraments.

Catholic views on abortion

Imago dei

the Latin term used to show that God made humans in his image and likeness.

Catholic teachings stress that because all humans are made in imago dei, all humans are therefore holy and should be respected and protected.

When Mary was pregnant with Jesus, she went to visit her cousin who was pregnant with John the Baptist. Upon her arrival, Elizabeth’s baby “leapt for joy” in her womb, sensing the presence of God through Jesus.

This shows that Jesus was clearly present from conception and the same fact applies to all humans.

• Life is holy and belongs to God, no-one has the right to end a pregnancy

• Life begins at conception and continues through birth into death. It is wrong to take life, therefore wrong to abort a foetus.

• Everyone has a right to life. Abortion destroys this right.

Psalms and music in worship

Value of music

• Helps people to praise God. St Augustine, ‘For he who sings praise, does not only praise, but praises joyfully.’

• Unites the people – they sing of their faith together.

• Increases the beauty of worship

• Helps people to feel more involved in their prayer

Psalms

• 150 poems in the Bible that were originally part of Jewish prayer. Catholic Church uses these every day in the divine office.

• Psalms are centred on the praise of God but also touch on all aspects of life; sickness, seeking forgiveness.

Music in the liturgyPlainchant Traditional hymns Contemporary worship songs Mass settings

Usually unaccompanied and has limited range of notes. Most date between 9-13th centuries. Used to sing the divine office and Latin parts of the Mass.

Used by generations of believers. Until recently were only used benediction and processions but are now used in Mass as well . Help people to feel more involved in worship.

Often use musical instruments that are more modern like guitars and drums rather than the organ. God should be worshipped in a style that reflects the culture of the people present, that reflect what they want to say to God.

Parts of the Mass that should be sung rather than said – the Alleluia, the Sanctus, the Mystery of Faith, the Great Amen. In the past these were complex to be sung by professional choirs. Now they are more simple to the congregation can join in.

Influence of the Trinity on Christians today

Influences

The life of the Trinity flows from the love between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Christians are likewise called to experience God’s love and share it with others

Mission

Comes from the word to send out. The Church sends people out to care for the needs of other people in many ways e.g to develop a better lifestyle, to provide education

Evangelism

Means preaching the gospel by words. People love God so much they want to tell others. The Holy Spirit speaks through them to encourage people to believe in God.

Magisterium and the Trinity• Authority

• Since Peter died there has been an unbroken succession of Bishops of Rome. The Bishop of Rome is the Head of the Church, the Pope and receives the same Spirit of leadership as was given to Peter.

• The Holy Spirit guides the Church in teaching the truth, this truth is expressed in magisterial teachings.

• Nicea (325ad)

• Nicene Creed written to fight the heresy that claimed that Jesus was not eternal. The Creed states that Jesus ‘eternally begotten of the Father’. He has always existed.

• Constantinople (381ad)

• Taught that Jesus was fully human as well as fully divine. Also established the role of the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Trinity.

PrayerWhat is it?

A conversation between God and the believer. Talking and listening to God.

Traditional prayer

• E.G Our Father, Hail Mary. Don’t need to think of your own words – be open to God’s presence without having to think of what to say.

• Also good because the familiar words and phrases comfort people who want to focus on God. Can be useful when people don’t feel like praying but know that they need to pray.

Spontaneous prayer

• Done suddenly, no set format. Person chooses their own words.

• Believe the Spirit guides them in what to say. Means they can use their own words to speak to God.

• Sometimes people speak in tongues given to them by God. They do not know what they are saying but believe God is guiding their prayer.

• Spontaneous prayer comes from the heart and reflects how the person feels in that moment. It reflects the individuals relationship with God.

Church architecture

The Church vs. church

Catholic churches before 1965 – were cross shaped to remind people of the death of Jesus. Church faced Jerusalem. Altar was against the back wall –priest said mass facing the altar.

Catholic churches after 1965 – Altar is brought forward so that people can be more involved in the celebration of the mass. Sometimes the altar is in the middle of the church to show that the Eucharist is central to the community.

The significance o the death, burial resurrection and ascension of Jesus

• Death

• Christians believe that Jesus died because he lived in perfect obedience to God the father. This restored the relationship between God and humanity making them at one.

• Burial

• The gospels make clear that Jesus was buried and the stone was rolled over the entrance of the tomb. This is to prevent people from claiming that Jesus hadn’t actually died.

• Resurrection

• Jesus showed perfect obedience therefore death could not hold him. Jesus never rejected God or God’s will, therefore the powers of sin and death had no power over him. God raised Jesus from the dead and destroyed the power of sin and death not just over Jesus but over all. The harmony of creation is restored, Christians only need to accept God and His forgiveness.

• Ascension

• Jesus goes to be with God, the effects of the resurrection are available to all.

‘The story of Jesus’ ascension is not important for Christians today.’

Agree

• Christians relate much more to the death and resurrection of Jesus. The death of Jesus shows His perfect obedience to God the father. This restored the relationship between God and humanity making them at one. ‘Jesus humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death – even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him.’

• The resurrection is more important because Jesus showed perfect obedience therefore death could not hold him. Jesus never rejected God or God’s will, therefore the powers of sin and death had no power over him. God raised Jesus from the dead and destroyed the power of sin and death not just over Jesus but overall. The harmony of creation is restored, Christians only need to accept God and His forgiveness.

• When people pray they often pray in front of a cross or a crucifix. The crucifix reminds them of the suffering of Jesus – that Jesus knows how we feel in the sufferings of this life. The cross reminds them of the resurrection – that the sufferings of this life will end and one day they will be safe in heaven with Jesus. It is rare that someone prays in front of an image of the ascension or even thinks about it. It doesn’t connect to the everyday life of people.

Disagree• The ascension is the moment when God’s plan

of salvation is complete – Jesus takes His place at the right hand of the Father. The Bible states that God, ‘has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things.’ This means that Jesus has restored all creation.

• The ascension is God’s promise to us that we will one day ascend to heaven in the same way.

• At the ascension Jesus commands his disciples, ‘Go and baptise people in the name of the father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.’ This command is the beginning of church life. Without this command the Church would have died with the disciples.

ConscienceMeaning

• Conscience helps people to search for and live by the truth. To live by the high standard of doing good and avoiding evil. One person’s conscience can inspire other people.

A person who is faithful to God in all aspects of life creates an example for others to follow. The saints are people who were faithful to God.

• Christians believe that each member of Church must listen to other people to ensure that their conscience is guiding them properly and not ignoring the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

• All believers can be effected by the conscience of others.
