Posted at 7:32 pm under Images of Jesus




1. Has your image of Jesus changed during the project? Why or Why not?

No it has not. This is because before the project I already had a clear image as to what Jesus looked like

2. What do you feel is the best way to portray an image of Jesus and why?

In my opinion the way that Jesus should be portrayed is dependant on the character of a person. I believe that it depends on ones age group:

Child 2-9 (Image) – At this stage children need to know about Jesus and are still very young and would not have a great understanding of the bible and would most probably not understand it. At this age I believe that it would be appropriate to show children images and picture books of Jesus and other stories of the bible. This is because it is easier for them to take in a picture than words.

Child 10-adulthood (Music, Bible) – By this time kids will have a greater interest into music and Christian music promotes them to listen to God’s word. I for one believe this, as I myself took upon this method and am part of our church band and have grown to become closer to God through music. Artists such as Hillsong, Matt Redman and Julie Jacobs inspire youths to become closer to God through praise in music. Also at this stage it is time for the bible to be taught to them so that they can learn about God’s word. Also at this stage they would have common reading skills. This makes it appropriate to introduce it  

3. What have you enjoyed about the project so far and what would you do differently.

I have enjoyed how we get to talk about our personal religious beliefs and open up about our beliefs.
