The Film Study Guide – Episode 5

The Greatest Person Who Ever Lived

The last two Episodes demonstrated that God is precise in His Creation. In Theology perceiving God’s handiwork in Creation is called General Revelation. General Revelation is based on Romans 1:20” For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature. So, they have no excuse for not knowing God.”

The Reformers and many Church Fathers elaborated on this great truth of General Revelation.

Jesus is God who became flesh and dwelt among us, Matthew 1:23 “God is with us” Jesus is by historians the greatest person who ever lived. Jesus is God speaking Revelation directly to humanity. Which is called Particular Revelation in which God comes to us and speaks in a personal way, Matthew 7:28-29, Colossians 1:15, Acts 4:12.

Jesus by His claims and those who follow Him, see Him as more than a prophet, spiritual leader, great teacher, holy man, Jewish rabbi, but the only true God who created the universe, including humans made in His image, John 1:1-5.

In what way do you see God’s Craftsmanship in nature?

Romans 1:18-23 it states that people because of sinfulness suppress the truth of God’s Creation around us and worship false idols, like worshiping nature, and their minds become dark and confused. Have you talked to someone who is running from God and suppresses the truth?

How do you respond in love?

Many have said I see God in nature but what about in a personal relationship with God?

Based on Colossians 1:15-22 what does the Word of God teach about Jesus and how we have been blessed as believers?

If one reads about life before Christianity or life outside the influence of Christianity, we can easily perceive a strangely dark existence, with human life having little value. As Professor Alvin V. Schmidt book states, Jesus Christ’s influence has transformed the world in a wonderful way, like, education for the public. Can you think of other ways the Christian Faith has influenced the world?

What are some of the reasons that people are incredibly fascinated with Jesus?

If you are a believer, how has Jesus Christ affected and changed your life?

Only one force, one power could and does continue to transform our human existence, history and our very being, in such a broad global way: Jesus. Name some way that Jesus has changed our world and personal lives.
