Requirements

1. Do one of the following:

  • b. Using a commentary or Bible dictionary, develop a short, written summary of Jesus’ understanding of being the fulfillment of prophecy. (Note: a review of His “I am” passages is a great start, as is His discussion with the woman at the well in John 4, or His dialogue with Martha in John 11)

  • e. Diorama (and tell the story)
  • f. Photo essay (and tell the story)
