In the world’s finale, at the moment of eternal harmony, something so precious will come to pass … that it will make it not only possible to forgive but to justify all that has happened. Fyodor Dostoyevsky—The Brothers Karamazov
The Cross Years 10–12 Why teach on the cross? At the cross, we see God’s love and character most clearly. Through the execution of Jesus, every theme in the Bible is made real and complete—the Passover, the sacrifices, the end of suffering and the end of death. How does The Cross fit within a broader RE program? This unit passes through the entire sweep of the Bible, linking the purpose of Jesus with major events, themes and characters. In addition, it skilfully presents everyday challenges young people face in this complex world and shows how living in the light of the cross makes a difference today. Unit outcomes By the end of this unit, students will be able to: • appreciate how numerous events and the roles of certain individuals in the Old Testament only make sense in light of Jesus • comprehend key biblical concepts such as substitution, atonement, sin and justification • understand how the cross gives Christians hope, peace, access to God and help. Duration 10 lessons offering 1–2 terms’ worth of work. Teacher’s manual $54.95 Code 4976 Student handbook $9.75 Code 4977 Digital student handbook $8.45 Code E4977 The Cross (Book) $14.95 Code 4975
