"Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?"Using the parable of the last judgment (Matthew 25:35-45), Phyllis Vos Wezeman helps us recognize that people in need are not always remote from us. This resource offers sixty learning activities to help participants see Jesus by meeting the needs of those around them-the hungry, the thirsty, the estranged, the poor, the sick, and the imprisoned.The six chapters of Seeing Jesus each contain ten learning activities which explore one aspect of the chapter's theme. Each lesson plan is organized into three parts: Learn, Locate, and Lead. Learn presents a short description of the theme of the activity and describes what the students will do. Locate provides a list of supplies and preparations needed in order to present the learning experience. Lead details the directions for successfully guiding a group through the design. Although each lesson is related to the passage, Matthew 25:31-46, it is also organized around another story or verse from the Bible which further illustrates the specific topic.Sharing God's love was a task not only given to the disciples thousands of years ago, it is the responsibility of every Christian in any age. Seeing Jesus provides creative, concrete methods for responding to Jesus' commission. It once again challenges each and every learner with the question, "What will you do?"A great tool for whole family sessions - Perfect for Lent
