Knowing Jesus Back to the Past
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The teacher began by welcoming attendees and sharing upcoming church events before shifting focus to a theological exploration of Jesus’ pre-existence. Using *Back to the Future* as an analogy, the class emphasized the importance of understanding Jesus’ divine origins to appreciate his role in creation and redemption. Central to the lesson was John 1:1-18, which establishes Jesus’ eternal nature as the Word who was with God and is God. The teacher highlighted how the Word becoming flesh (John 1:14) reveals Jesus’ unique relationship with the Father and his mission to bring grace and truth to humanity. By examining these verses, the class aimed to foster a deeper appreciation for Christ’s divinity and his transformative power in believers’ lives.
