CHAPTER 2: JESUS, THE TRUTH

Lesson 1: Jesus invites us to respect the truth

LEARNING COMPETENCIES: In this lesson you will learn to.

 Describe one’s identity and vocation in truth.
 Explain the eighth commandment upholding the value of truthfulness.
 Relate the sacrament of confirmation to the eighth commandment.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

The command not to bear false witness against our neighbor is grounded on God who is truth
and on our dignity being created in his image and likeness (Gensis1:27). All are of His image and
likeness whose good name must be valued and protected. In the sacrament of confirmation, we
become soldiers of God. we become the salt of the earth and light of the world. We become bearers
and heralds of the truth. We become witnesses of Christ. it is contrary to our mission of spreading the
Lord’s presence in truth if we do not keep the eighth commandment.
This chapter takes up the final specific way we are to “love our neighbors,” namely, by respecting
their honor and good name in our everyday speech. We do this through speaking truthfully, especially
in public testimony. The theme of truthful witness flows naturally from the concern for justice in the
preceding chapter. For just as we are commanded not to steal our neighbors’ goods by using false
measures and weights, so we are commanded not to steal their good name and honor by false or idle
words in conversation with others. False words pervert justice even more than false weights do, for
they pollute the source and wellspring of social relationships that ground our communities and our
whole culture.

Lesson 2: Jesus calls us to the truth.

LEARNING COMPETENCIES: In this lesson you will learn to.

 Explain God as the basis of the vocation.
 Discuss the meaning, ways, and hindrances in bearing witness to the truth.
 Explain the value of prayer in the call of Christ to be witness.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

A witness is not free to make up his own story; he must report the facts as he saw them. If the
witnesses are credible people who give consistent witness, the case is pretty secure. In our text,
Jesus continues His defense to the Jews, who were accusing Him of breaking the Sabbath and of
making Himself equal with God (5:18). Instead of backing off and responding with horror to such
charges, Jesus sets forth His case in even stronger terms by showing that He is one with the Father
in all of His actions. He asserts (5:22-23) that the Father “has given all judgment to the Son so that all
will honor the Son even as they honor the Father.” He asserts that He has life in Himself and that in
the future He will speak and all who have ever lived will come forth from the tombs for a resurrection
either of life or of judgment (5:26, 28-29). Clearly, Jesus is claiming to be equal with God. But, how do
we know that these claims are true? What evidence backs them up? Would they hold up in court? In
answer to these questions and in deference to Jewish law, which required at least two or three
witnesses to establish any legal matter, Jesus gives a number of witnesses to verify His claims.

LEARNING COMPETENCIES: In this lesson you will learn to.

 Explain our call as children of God to remain truthful.
 Discuss the offenses against the truth.
 Describe the sacrament of baptism as a pledge to live in truth.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR LEARNERS:

God is God of truth. Sharing in His divine nature, we are called to live in truth not in lies. Lying
surley contradicts the nature of God and our identity. “ The sum of our word is truth; and evevry one
of your righteous ordinanaces endures forever” and now, O Lord God, you are God, and yourwords
are true” this is why God’s promises always come true. God is truth itself, whose words cannot
deceive. This is why one can abanon oneself in full trust to the truth and faithfulness of His word in all
things. The beginning is sin and of man’s fall was due to a lie of the tempter who induced doubt of
God’s word, kindness, and faithfulness. Through the sascrament of Baptism, we receive the spirit of
adoption. We become childen of God. as such, we are called to be bearers of the truth about
ourselves, of others, the world, and God. We become a “ new creation” sharers in the divine nature
not simply creatures any more, but children of God His Son, Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit, who
dwells withing us.
