Theology Chapter 6

three similarities in the Resurrection narratives

the Resurrection took place in the early morning, women were present at the tomb, and Jesus appeared many times to His disciples

The model of faith in John's Gospel was

the beloved disciple

kergyma

the core teaching about Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord

Pentecost

the day when the Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles and gave them the power to preach with conviction

Beloved Disciple

John

the disciples on the road to Emmaus recognized Jesus when

He broke bread

The greeting Jesus gave to His disciples after his death was

"Peace be with you"

We can meet Christ in the sacraments by...

Baptism=forms us in His image, Confirmation=Holy Spirit strengthens us Penance=we experience God's forgiveness Anointing the Sick=feel the healing touch of The Lord Holy Orders+Matrimony=Christ helps us live loving lives

When we say that Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father it means that...

Christ now glorifies God as the Incarnate Son of God

two qualities of Jesus' resurrected body were

He looked different, He could enter a room without using the door, and He was physically present

Three differences between the four Gospel accounts

In Matthew, Mark, and John, Jesus first appears to Mary Magdeline, but in Luke He does not. In Matthew there is an earthquake, but in Mark, Luke and John there is not. In Matthew 2 women are present at the tomb, but in Mark there are three.

Why is the empty tomb significant?

It was evidence that Jesus resurrected

Last Judgement

Jesus' judgement of the living and the dead on the last day when He comes to fully establish God's Kingdom

Ascension

Jesus' passage from humanity into divine glory in God's heavenly domain

Discipleship

The life of following Jesus, comes from the latin word for learner

What is the Assumption of Mary?

When Mary's earthly body went to heaven right after her death

Talmud

a collection of rabbinical teachings collected after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in AD 70

Grace

a free and unearned gift from God, that adopts us into God's family

four benefits of receiving Christ in the Eucharist are...

a more intimate relationship with Jesus, separation from sin, strength to combat sin, and a better ability to see Christ in the poor

what has Christ's resurrection accomplished for us

accomplished our salvation, justified us in God's grace, adopted us into the divine family, confirmed Christ's teachings, and allows us to participate in Jesus' life and death

Why did Jesus' body not decay in the tomb?

because it was still linked to his divine person

Mark concluded his gospel at Mark 16:8 because...

he wanted to make us choose whether or not we were going to proclaim Jesus' resurrection or not, like the women at the tomb.

John wrote his Gospel because

he wanted us to come to believe the Jesus is the Messiah

What does 'Jesus descended into hell' mean?

it means that Jesus descended into hell to proclaim the Good News of Salvation to the just awaiting a redeemer

Why was Jesus' resurrection a historical event?

no one ever found Jesus' body and Jesus was seen by many people after His death

The Resurrection is a transcendent event because...

no one understands exactly how it happened (it transcends our understanding)

the Ascension of Jesus reminds us that...

our true home is in Heaven and we hope to follow Jesus there

Catholics meet Jesus in Sunday liturgy through

the Eucharist

Souls

the innermost or spiritual part of a person, the subject of human consciousness and freedom

main points of the kergyma

the prophets' predictions are fulfilled in Jesus, Jesus is exalted at the right hand of God as His Son, the Holy Spirit is present in Church, the Holy Spirit is a sign of Christ's power and glory, and we should repent and be baptized because all this is true

Discrepancies in the Gospel narratives argue for their credibility because

the stories were handed down through oral tradition, and the writers made no attempt to change the stories to make them seem more similar

The first evangelists of Jesus' resurrection in the Gospel of Luke are

the two disciples on the road to Emmaus

Paschal Lamb

what the Israelites were commanded to eat as part of the Passover meal, Jesus is the new Paschal Lamb
