MODULE 7-9

1. On a sheet of ad paper, discuss briefly Christ’s aim in His public life. (10 points)
In His public life, Christ’s aim was to teach what God requires all people to believe.
Although Jesus was without sin, He was still baptized by immersion to teach us obedience to
God. Jesus is a perfect example of love for He cared for the poor, healed the sick, gave sight to
the blind, and even brought the dead back to life. He performed miracles. He never turned away
little children. To teach in a simplest manner, He used parables, stories, signs, and used simple
and homely words to teach important lessons to His listeners. Jesus’ aim was also to teach faith,
love and forgive others even our enemies. He also revealed certain mysteries and instituted the
seven sacraments. He gathered twelve Apostles for this purpose, and He provided them
instruction and training. They were instrumental in the establishment of His Church, which was
to continue His work after His death, teaching what He had freely and publicly taught.

6. On another sheet of pad paper, discuss briefly why Filipinos are meal-oriented. (10 points)
We Filipinos consider almost everyone as a part of our family, we are known for being
gracious host and grateful guests. Serving our guests with the best we have is an unharm value of
the Filipino which is being hospitable. We have to celebrate any events with special meals.
Because, we Filipinos try our best to offer something, with the traditional greeting “Come and
eat with us.” Jesus is the host of the Paschal Meal. He also is the guest of every gathering.

For us Filipinos, our “salo-salo” is more than just nourishment of the body. We
strengthen our relationships by sharing a meal. The Filipino “handaan” is an expression of our
good will. The Eucharist is our “salo-salo”, our family reunion. Christ is our “tinapay ng buhay”,
the Host that throws a “piging” as a sign of his gracious love- love that sustains us, love that
makes us one as God’s people.
