Luke 1: 5 – 24
An angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar where the incense
was burned. When Zechariah saw him, he was alarmed and felt afraid. But the angel said to
him, Don't be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer, and your wife Elizabeth will bear
you a son. You are to name him John. How glad and happy you will be, and how happy many
others will be when he is born! John will be great in the Lord's sight. He must not drink any
wine or strong drink. From his very birth he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, and he will bring
back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. He will go ahead of the Lord, strong
and mighty like the prophet Elijah. He will bring fathers and children together again; he will turn
disobedient people back to the way of thinking of the righteous; he will get the Lord's people
ready for him. Zechariah said to the angel, How shall I know if this is so? I am an old man,
and my wife is old also. I am Gabriel, the angel answered. I stand in the presence of God, who
sent me to speak to you and tell you this good news.
But you have not believed my message, which will come true at the right time. Because you
have not believed, you will be unable to speak; you will remain silent until the day my promise
to you comes true. In the meantime the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why
he was spending such a long time in the Temple. When he came out, he could not speak to
them, and so they knew that he had seen a vision in the Temple Unable to say a word, he made
signs to them with his hands.

on the Sabbath!

Luke 20:27- 40
Then some Sadducees, who say that people will not rise from death, came to Jesus and said,
Teacher, Moses wrote this law for us: If å man dies and leaves a wife but no children, that
man's brother must marry the widow so that they can have children who will be considered the
dead man's children.
Once there were seven brothers; the oldest got married and died without having children.

Then the second one married the woman, and then the third. The same thing happened to all
seven they died without having children.
Last of all, the woman died.
Now, on the day when the dead rise to life, whose wife will she be? All seven of them had
married her.
Jesus answered them, The men and women of this age marry, but the men and women who are
worthy to rise from death and live in the age to come will not then marry
They will be like angels and cannot die.
They are the children of God, because they have risen from death.
And Moses clearly proves that the dead are raised to life.
In the passage about the burning bush he speaks of the Lord as the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
He is the God of the living, not of the dead, for to him all are alive. Some of the teachers of the
Law spoke up, A good answer, Teacher! For they did not dare ask him any more questions.

resurrection.
At the resurrection, people are clothed in a new body and so no need for clothes.
Christians must fear God and not spirits because only God has power over death.
Nothing takes place in the grave
The children and the living need those items for their use.

(ii) State three points to explain how people in the modern Zambian society prepare for
life after death.
By living repentant lives
By remaining in the lord

Being obedient to God
(d) State two points to explain how the teachings of Christianity on life after death are different
from those of the Zambian Traditional Religion.

It was about noon.
Samaritan woman came to draw some water, and Jesus said to her, Give me a drink of water.
(His disciples had gone into town to buy food.)
The woman answered, You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan so how can you ask me for a drink?
(Jews will not use the same cups and bowls that Samaritans use.)
Jesus answered, If you only knew what God gives and who it is that is asking
you for a drink, you would ask him, and he would give you life-giving water
Sir, the woman said, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where
Would you get that life-giving water?
It was our ancestor Jacob who gave us this well; he and his children and his flocks all drank from
it. You don't claim to be greater than Jacob, do you?

Jesus answered, Those who drink this water will get thirsty again, but those who drink the
water that I will give them will never be thirsty again.
The water that I will give them will become in them a spring which will
provide them with life-giving water and give them eternal life.
Sir, the woman said, give me that water! Then I will never be thirsty again,
nor will I have to come here to draw water.
Go and call your husband, Jesus told her, and come back.
I don't have a husband, she answered. Jesus replied, You are right when you say you don't have
a husband.
You have been married to five men, and the man you live with now is not
really your husband. You have told me the truth.
I see you are a prophet, sir, the woman said.
My Samaritan ancestors worshiped God on this mountain, but you Jews say
that Jerusalem is the place where we should worship God.
Jesus said to her, Believe me, woman, the time will come when people will
not worship the Father either on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
You Samaritans do not really know whom you worship; but we Jews know
whom we worship, because it is from the Jews that salvation comes.
But the time is coming and is already here, when by the power of God's Spirit
people will worship the Father as he really is, offering him the true worship that he wants.
God is Spirit, and only by the power of his Spirit can people worship him as he really is.
The woman said to him, I know that the Messiah will come, and when he comes, he will tell us
everything.
Jesus answered, I am he, I who am talking with you.
At that moment Jesus' disciples returned, and they were greatly surprised to
find him talking with a woman. But none of them said to her, What do you
want? or asked him, Why are you talking with her?
Then the woman left her water jar, went back to the town, and said to the people there,
Come and see the man who told me everything I have ever done. Could he be the Messiah?
So they left the town and went to Jesus.
In the meantime the disciples were begging Jesus, Teacher, have something to eat!
But he answered, I have food to eat that you know nothing about.
So the disciples started asking among themselves, Could somebody have brought him food?
My food, Jesus said to them, is to obey the will of the one who sent me and to finish the work
he gave me to do.

His mother's relatives talked to the men of Shechem about this for him,

They gave him seventy pieces of silver from the temple of Baal-of-the
Covenant, and with this money he hired a bunch of worthless scoundrels to join him.

he killed his seventy brothers, Gideon's sons.

to talk. The crowds were amazed but some of the people said, It is Beelzebul, the chief of the
demons, who gives him the power to drive them out. Others wanted to trap Jesus, so they asked
him to perform a miracle, Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he said to them, any country
that divides itself into groups which fight each other will not last very long; a family divided
against itself falls apart. So if Satan's kingdom has groups fighting each other, how can it last?
You say that I drive out demons because Beelzebul gives me the power do so. If this is how I drive
them out, how do your followers drive them out? Your own followers prove that you are wrong!
No, it is rather by means of God's power that I drive out demons, and this proves that the
Kingdom of God has already come to you. When a strong man, with all his weapons ready, guards
his own house, all his belongings are safe. But when a stronger man attacks him and defeats him,

Anyone who is not for me is really against me; anyone who does not help me gather is really
scattering
