Read previous Anglican Sunday School Manuals here
1st Sunday in Lent March 1,2020
THEME: IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST
SUB-THEME: The Humanity of Christ (1)
TOPIC: His Historical Existence
TEXT: Luke 2:1-20
MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 1:1 “The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of
David, the Son of Abraham”.
AIM: To acquaint us with the history of the humanity of Christ
INTRODUCTION: The humanity of Jesus is not a fabricated story. Scriptures have even
recorded the names of kings who ruled at one point or the other before, during or after
the birth of Jesus, including Herod, Pontius Pilate, Caesar Augustus and other Roman
Governors. This study will help us appreciate and establish these historical facts.
STUDY GUIDES/QUESTIONS:
1. What do you understand by the term, “The humanity of Christ”?
2. What can we learn about the history of Jesus’ human existence on earth from the
genealogy recorded inMatt. 1:1-17?
3. Read Luke 1:5; 2:1-4; 3:1-3; John 3:1, 18:33, and identify some of the historical figures
at the time of the birth or death of Jesus Christ; pointing out how this can help our
understanding of His historical existence.
4. What practical steps can we take as believers to preserve the essential information
about our faith to future generations? Deuteronomy 6:6-7
CONCLUSION: As believers, it is important for us to understand the history of the
humanity of Christ as it will help us to duly appreciate not just His sacrifice on our behalf,
but also the truth of His human existence at a point in the history of our world.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Established history does not lie
