CATECHISM LESSONS - LEARN ABOUT GOD AND HIS HOLY SON, JESUS CHRIST

It is very important to learn about God and His Holy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Well, the easiest way to do this is to read the Holy Bible and have catechism lessons.

In catechism or Sunday School, children are taught about the way which leads directly to God and Heaven.

Jesus Christ was sent to earth by God the Father to teach us the way to Heaven, and to save us from our sins.

Jesus saved us by means of His holy Life, Death and Resurrection. He gave His whole Love and Life so that we can go to Heaven.

Heaven had been closed up to us because our forefathers had turned away from God and His loving Rule over us.

Many many years ago our ancestors lived in a beautiful place God had made, called Eden or Paradise.

However, our ancestors weren't happy to remain under the Rule of God, and decided to disobey Him.

This led to problems, and God decided to let our ancestors - known as Adam and Eve - free to leave His Rule.

This meant that Adam and Eve had to leave the Paradise God had created for them and for us, their descendants.

Instead of joy and peace within the garden God had created, our ancestors went out into the world to make their own way.

Well, they did, but there have been problems ever since human beings took over ruling their own lives.

Sad things happened and some injustice. So God in His infinite Love and Tenderness, sent the Son of God Jesus to rescue us from the sad things.

Jesus came to earth as a small baby, born to a lovely lady named Mary of Nazareth. 

God had sent His holy Archangel Gabriel to ask Mary if she would look after Jesus and raise Him up from a baby until He was fully grown. 

Mary was delighted to say yes.

When Jesus was grown, He told people the things they were doing wrong, and the right way to behave to become holy and get to Heaven.

Some people were upset when Jesus told them these things, and Jesus eventually suffered and died for our sins. 

But Jesus is so good and so loving that He even forgave the people who had killed Him.

Jesus is a great example to us of the way we should be in order to be like Him. This is known as becoming Christ-like.

We try to become Christ-like when we read the Bible, the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

We read how Jesus spoke, acted and loved everybody. We try to do the same, by following Jesus' example in the Gospels.
