Lesson Vocabulary

  • Priest
    :
    Co-workers with their bishops who serve the faithful by building up and guiding the Church. Priests preach the Gospel of Christ and act in the person of Christ when they administer the Sacraments to the People of God, especially the Holy Eucharist. The task of a priest in the Old Testament was to guard and protect God’s dwelling place, the tabernacle, and to serve Him.
  • Prophet
    :
    In the Old Testament, the prophets were God’s spokespersons who made known God’s message to His people. They proclaimed hope and salvation to the people if they would repent and worship God. Jesus fulfills this role not by speaking for God, but because He is God. He did God’s will throughout His life and spoke God’s truth to the people. He revealed God to the people and taught about God’s law and love. (2) One of the original roles God gave to Adam in the Garden of Eden. The task of a prophet in the Old Testament was to speak on God’ behalf and be His spokesperson. Adam was given the job of naming all of the animals, a right reserved for their creator. Adam, then, was God’s spokesperson and acted as the first prophet.
  • King
    :
    In the Old Testament, kings were to rule justly according to the law of God. They were to lead His people into relationship with God and right worship of Him. Jesus fulfills this role by establishing the Kingdom of God on earth and by teaching the law of God by which all will be judged. Jesus taught us to love God and to love our neighbor, He gave us the Beatitudes to teach us how to be happy or fulfilled in the Kingdom, and He taught us the works of mercy as the way to live out the law of God in His Kingdom. One of the original roles God gave to Adam in the Garden of Eden. A king has dominion, or rules over, his kingdom and its subjects. God gave Adam dominion over all of creation. Adam, then, was the first king.
  • Son/Daughter of God
    :
    One of the original roles God gave to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were made in God’s image and likeness. Among other things, according to Scripture, to be made in one’s image and likeness is to be his or her child, a son or daughter. Therefore, Adam and Eve were God’s children, a son and daughter of God.
  • Spouse
    :
    One of the original roles God gave to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. God gave Adam and Eve one initial command: “Be fertile and multiply.” That is, to come together as one man and one woman in marriage and to cooperate with God’s creative power and have children. The marriage of the first man and first woman is a sign of the giving and receiving of love God desires to share with all of humanity.
  • Covenant
    :
    A sacred permanent bond of family relationship. God entered in a series of covenants with mankind throughout Salvation History to invite us to be part of His divine family and to prepare us gradually and in stages and in words and deeds to receive the gift of salvation. (68-96)
  • Immutable
    :
    Unchanging. God does not change and, therefore, He does not experience emotion in a human way.
  • The Great Flood
    :
    God caused it to rain for forty days and forty nights, which flooded the earth and washed away the sin and wickedness of humanity. Only Noah and his family and two of every animal were spared in order to renew creation and for God to enter into a new covenant with the human race.
