How do the stories of the plagues and passover connect with God's overall purpose in salvation history?
Through the plagues and passover, God prevents further sin from happening, just as he did at the tower of Babel.
Through the plagues and passover, the Israelites are formed more fully as God’s people, and learn to trust God’s commitment to them, because of the mighty deeds he performed on their behalf.
Through the plagues and passover, God's people learn how to properly worship their God.
Through the plagues and passsover, God takes his people back to the Promised Land, where he restores original holiness and original justice, just as in the garden of Eden.
Why is the feast of Passover called “Passover?”
When a family was too small to eat a whole lamb, they ‘passed over” the rest of it to a neighboring family.
Death “passed over” the homes of the Israelites, so none of their first-born died.
Death “passed over” every home of Egyptians and Israelites alike, killing every first-born.
In making their unleavened bread, the yeast was “passed over.”
How does the first Passover prefigure Christ?
Just as the blood of the sacrificed lamb saved the Israelites from death, so too does Christ’s sacrifice of his blood on the cross save people from eternal death.
Just as Moses brought God’s Law to the Israelites at Mt. Sinai, Jesus preached God’s law to his people.
Just as death did not touch the firstborn of the Israelites, death did not touch Jesus either.
Just as God showed his power over the Egyptian gods, so too did Jesus show his power over the Jewish God.
What is the significance of unleavened bread in the annul Jewish celebration of Passover?
The unleavened bread reminds the Jewish people that the Israelites were slaves who could not afford the expensive yeast for their bread.
Yeast (leavening) is considered an unclean food according to Jewish law, so it is forbidden during this most sacred feast.
The unleavened bread reminds reminds the Jewish people that their ancestors had to flee Egypt quickly and had no time to let their bread rise.
The unleavened bread reminds the Jewish people of their slavery, because it was the only kind of bread slaves were allowed to eat.

2 Samuel 7:8a, 11b-17 (NABRE) Now then, speak thus to my servant David, Thus says the Lord of hosts:… Moreover, the Lord also declares to you that the Lord will make a house for you: 12 when your days have been completed and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you, sprung from your loins, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He it is who shall build a house for my name, and I will establish his royal throne forever. 14 I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. If he does wrong, I will reprove him with a human rod and with human punishments; 15 but I will not withdraw my favor from him as I withdrew it from Saul who was before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom are firm forever before me; your throne shall be firmly established forever. 7 In accordance with all these words and this whole vision Nathan spoke to David.

Exodus 14:26 – 31 26 Then the Lord spoke to Moses: Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may flow back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and their horsemen. 27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea returned to its normal flow. The Egyptians were fleeing head on toward it when the Lord cast the Egyptians into the midst of the sea. 28 As the water flowed back, it covered the chariots and the horsemen. Of all Pharaoh’s army which had followed the Israelites into the sea, not even one escaped. 29 But the Israelites had walked on dry land through the midst of the sea, with the water as a wall to their right and to their left. 30 Thus the Lord saved Israel on that day from the power of Egypt. When Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the seashore 31 and saw the great power that the Lord had shown against Egypt, the people feared the Lord. They believed in the Lord and in Moses his servant.

The Israelites are saved when they pass through the Nile River; we are saved when Jesus dies on the cross.
Moses sacrificed himself in the Nile; Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross.
The Nile River was the way Moses escaped death and achieved a new life as an Egyptian prince. The cross was the way Jesus went through death to achieve the new life of resurrection.
How does Jesus’ inaugurating the Kingdom of God relate to God’s overall plan of salvation?
By inaugurating the Kingdom of God, Jesus ensures that God is worshipped and God’s laws are obeyed.
By inagurating the Kingdom of God, Jesus calls disciples to follow him just as God called the patriarchs and prophets.
By inaugurating the Kingdom of God, Jesus can sort out who deserves eternal life and who doesn’t.

READ the passage and answer the question that follows it.
Matt 3:13-17 (NABRE) The Baptism of Jesus. 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?” 15 Jesus said to him in reply, “Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him. 16 After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened [for him], and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove [and] coming upon him. 17 And a voice came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
How does this event in Jesus’ life relate to the Kingdom of God?
In this event, Jesus begins his life as a Christian by being baptized, showing that Jews cannot enter the Kingdom of God when they die.
In this event, Jesus is saved from his sins by baptism. Like Jesus, our baptism washes away our sins and allows us to enter the Kingdom of God.
In this event, Jesus is revealed to be the one who will save us because he is the Second Person of the Holy Trinity. Therefore, he is the one who will inaugurate the Kingdom of God and bring about the fulfillment of God’s plan of salvation.
In this event, God makes Jesus his Son, and appoints him to be the one who will inaugurate the Kingdom of God.
Read the passage and answer the questions that follows it.
Exodus 19:1-81-2 The people of Israel… after they had left Egypt they came to the desert of Sinai. There they set up camp at the foot of Mount Sinai, 3 and Moses went up the mountain to meet with God. The Lord called to him from the mountain and told him to say to the Israelites, Jacob's descendants: 4 “You saw what I, the Lord, did to the Egyptians and how I carried you as an eagle carries her young on her wings, and brought you here to me. 5 Now, if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own people. The whole earth is mine, but you will be my chosen people, 6 a people dedicated to me alone, and you will serve me as priests.” 7 So Moses went down and called the leaders of the people together and told them everything that the Lord had commanded him. 8 Then all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the Lord has said,” and Moses reported this to the Lord.
The passage above shows the main way in which God went about restoring what humanity had lost through original sin. As indicated above,God did this by:
forming covenants.
punishing evildoers, like the Egyptians.
restoring original holiness and original justice.
demanding obedience.
- 1. Pharaoh drowned all Hebrew baby boys. Moses, however, was spared this fate and became the one through whom God would defeat Pharaoh.
- 2. Pharaoh remained so stubborn that he lost his own son to the 10th plague. This, however, achieved God's goal of freeing the Israelites.
- 3. Religious and political leaders alike conspired to have Jesus crucified, only to have God raise him up three days later.
Taken together, these events most clearly demonstrate:
how God deals with human sin: by using it to make something good happen.
how God deals with sinners: by bringing death upon them.
the consequences of original sin.
that God cannot advance his plan of salvation because of human sin.

Adapted from: Hunsinger, George. “What Christians Owe Jews.” Commonweal Magazine, 9AD, www.commonwealmagazine.org/what-christians-owe-jews.
According to Christian faith…[Jesus] is the world’s savior only because he is also Israel’s long-awaited messiah. The fact that Jesus offers salvation universally, to all people, has its origins in the particular call of Israel as God’s Chosen People.
Which of the following expresses the main idea of this passage?
Christians are now the Chosen People because the people of Israel did not accept their messiah.
Christians and Jews have nothing in common because Christians accept Jesus and Jews do not.
Christianity is built on Judaism. If it weren’t for God’s Chosen People, the world would not have a savior.
Christians believe that Jesus is the savior of all people only because he was rejected by his own people.
By living the Law of Moses, given on Mt. Sinai,
the Israelites:
make certain that no Israelites will ever break God's covenant.
become just like all the other nations who have made covenants with God.
accept a new kind of slavery: slavery to God’s Law.accept a new kind of slavery: slavery to God’s Law.
become a people of justice who can show the world what God's way looks like.

John 4:46-53 Now there was a royal official whose son was ill in Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was near
death. 48 Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.” 49 The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” 50 Jesus said to him, “You may go; your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus said to him and left. 51 While he was on his way back, his slaves met him and told him that his boy would live. 52 He asked them when he began to recover. They told
him, “The fever left him yesterday, about one in the afternoon.” 53 The father realized that just at that time Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live,” and he and his whole household came to believe.
The event described above points toward the fulfillment of God’s plan because:
In the Kingdom of God there is no illness, suffering or death.
Through faith, the royal official will enter the Kingdom of heaven when he dies.
Children are especially favored in the Kingdom of God.
Jesus' ministry is spreading from Judea to Galilee and Capernaum.
A. Matthew 13:31-32 [Jesus] proposed another parable to them. “The kingdom of [God] is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of seeds, yet when full-grown, it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the birds of the sky come and dwell in it’s branches.

C. Matt 13:44-46 The kingdom of [God] is like a treasure buried in a field, which a persons finds and then hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of [God] is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.
D. Mark 12:32-34 The scribe said to [Jesus,] “Well said, teacher. You are right in saying ‘He is the One and there is no other than he.’ And ‘to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself’ is worth more than all burn offerings and sacrifices.” And when Jesus saw that [he] answered with understanding, [Jesus] said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”
E. Matt 6:9-10 “This is how you are to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

where we go to live with God after we die.
only going to be present at the end of time.
the rule of God over people’s hearts, minds and actions, which results in great transformation.

passage D
FROM; Bishop Barron video: What is the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is the knitting together of divinity and humanity that was sundered (torn apart) at Eden. So the original sin which [shows] itself now in a million ways, is a …falling apart between God and humanity, which has led, then, to a whole bunch of other “fallings apart.” Think of the first chapters of Genesis: hatred and violence and rivalry…and murder and all of it, are the sunderings that came from the fundamental sundering with God.
What is the Kingdom of God, the reign of God? It’s that God and humanity are reunited, so that the divine order, the eternal law… now becomes our law.
Where do we see this? ___________________.
Based on class learning, which of the following most logically comes next?
We see this in the Church, where God's people completely unite humanity and divinity. Therefore, the Church is already the Kingdom of God just as it is.
We see this in Jesus, who in his person unites divinity and humanity. Therefore, the Kingdom of God is Jesus himself.
Well, there's no way to see it now. The Kingdom of God has not yet begun so we will see it at the end of time, when Jesus returns.

From the passage above, we can conclude that:
Original sin has prevented God's Kingdom from being present in our world now.
The Kingdom of God is God's answer to original sin.
Jesus began the Kingdom of God, but because of sin it keeps falling apart.
Jesus will return when we finally allow God's law to become our law.
Jesus put human needs above the sabbath laws, associated with sinners, and forgave sins. This explains why:
Some Jews wanted to see Jesus installed as their king.
Judas turned Jesus in to the chief priests.
Jesus supported the Roman Empire instead of his own Jewish nation.
Jesus came into conflict with the devoutly religious Pharisees.
Which of the following passages describes Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem?
A. Six days later Jesus took with him Peter and the brothers James and John and led them up a high mountain where they were alone. As they looked on, a change came over Jesus: his face was shining like the sun, and his clothes were dazzling white. Then the three disciples saw Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus. So Peter spoke up and said to Jesus, “Lord, how good it is that we are here! If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
B. On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming...took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.” Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it; as it is written, “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your King is coming, seated on a donkey’s colt.” These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him…
C. After the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices to go and anoint the body of Jesus. Very early on Sunday morning, at sunrise, they went to the tomb. On the way they said to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” (It was a very large stone.) Then they looked up and saw that the stone had already been rolled back. So they entered the tomb, where they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe—and they were alarmed.
“Don't be alarmed,” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is not here...Look, here is the place where he was placed. Now go and give this message to his disciples, including Peter: ‘He is going to Galilee ahead of you; there you will see him, just as he told you.’”
D. Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and [Jesus] said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be troubled and distressed. Then he said to them, “My soul is sorrowful even to death. Remain here and keep watch.” He advanced a little and fell to the ground and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass by him; he said, “ ...Father, all things are possible to you. Take this cup away from me, but not what I will but what you will.”

new Adam.
spiritual Messiah
earthly man
life-giving spirit.

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
We fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely You've bled for us
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but Heaven's will
No scheme of Hell, no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold You down
O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night
Our God is not dead, He's alive, He's alive.

From a spiritual, salvation history point of
view, Jesus was crucified because:

Sin and evil are more powerful than goodness and love.
God required a blood sacrifice before he would forgive humanity’s sins.
Jesus freely took our sins upon himself out of love for us.
Exodus 17:8-138 Then Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim. 9 So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” 10 Joshua did as Moses [i]told him, and fought against Amalek; and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses’ hands were heavy. Then they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it; and Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other. Thus his hands were steady until the sun set. 13 So Joshua [mowed down] Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Based on class learning, from a Christian standpoint, the result of Joshua's battle (verse 13) shows us that:
Sometimes God needed to use evil to defeat evil.
Those who attack God's people should fear for their lives.
In the battle between good and evil, God crushes evil entirely.
God considers violence is an acceptable response to violence.
Olusola transferred to her new school in the middle of the first semester. Amber and Marisol offer to tutor her so she could catch up on the classwork she had missed. Every day, they invite her to sit with them at lunch.
All of the following Biblical concepts are evident in Amber and Marisol's actions EXCEPT:
Covenant: because Amber and Marisol have formed a solemn agreement with Olusola.
The Kingdom of God: because their kindness is making God's will a reality for Olusola.
The Paschal Mystery: because they making sacrifices (of their time) to help Olusola,
Justice: because Amber and Marisol are taking care of someone who is in a vulnerable (weakened) position and they are creating right relationships.
