This course delves into foundational events in the life of Jesus Christ and key teachings for Christian living, aiming to deepen students’ understanding of biblical narratives and their application.

The course begins with the announcement of the birth of Jesus, exploring the divine revelation to Mary and Joseph and its significance in Christian theology.

The course then shifts to the role of the forerunner of Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, and his mission to prepare the way for the Savior. This leads into an exploration of the baptism of Jesus Christ, emphasizing its significance as the commencement of His public ministry and the manifestation of the Trinity.

The temptation of Jesus Christ is studied next, highlighting His victory over sin and its relevance for Christian endurance. Finally, the course concludes with a discussion on the metaphor of Christians as the light and salt of the world, focusing on the call for believers to live as examples of God’s love and truth in society.
