Scripture Reading: As given throughout the lesson.

 

Memory Verse: John 20:31

 

 

In lesson four, we studied the humanity of Jesus and discovered that Jesus was fully human; and He was also fully God. 

In this lesson we want to interview some witnesses, and investigate some of the facts and circumstances surrounding his life, death, burial and resurrection! Please complete the following requirements in this Report of Investigation!

                                                                       Report of Investigation

 

Subject: Jesus of Nazareth

 

All Known Addresses: Nazareth of Galilee - Capernaum of Galilee

 

Last known occupation: Preacher /Teacher/Prophet

 

List all previous occupations: Carpenter

 

Marital Status: Single

 

Purpose of Investigation: To determine if Jesus of Nazareth was as He claimed to be, The Messiah, the Son of God.

 

 

1.  List all incidents discovered that would prove/disprove His claim, along with the names of all witnesses to those incidents.

 

 

2.  List all eyewitnesses to His execution who saw Him die, who stated a belief in His claim to be the Son of God and why they believed Him to be the Son of God.

 

 

3.  There is a common teaching that Jesus of Nazareth was resurrected from the dead after His execution.  List all eye witnesses you can find who can attest that they saw Him alive after His execution.

 

  

4.    Your role as the Lead Investigator in this case is to prove or disprove whether or not Jesus of Nazareth was indeed the Messiah beyond any reasonable doubt!

 

 

5.    Your investigation will require you to examine the evidence whether or not!

 

 

(1)    He was Jesus The Christ, the Messiah, and:

 

 

 

 (2) That He rose from the dead, was resurrected!

 

 

Below are some street addresses where you might find evidence or witnesses.  Visit each address, look for any evidence that might be found there, and interview any witnesses.  Then, write a summary of your findings at the conclusion of the ROI (Report of Investigation) that follows:

Briefly summarize your findings/conclusions:

 

 

In your own words, what conclusion do you come to after reading the report of one Paul, the Apostle in Romans 1:1-4 concerning Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah, the Son of God.

 

  

As you continue to walk with Him, and to live for Him, you will continue to discover evidence that will increasingly convince you more and more that Jesus is, beyond all reasonable doubt, God, the Son, The Messiah!!!

 

 

Conclusion: As a result of your investigative research into this matter, and as a result of your own personal relationship with the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ, and your having come to the conclusion that Jesus is indeed, God in the flesh, then His Word and His fellowship are going to increasingly become more important to you.
