In this lesson, students will explore the different types of miracles performed by Jesus, including miracles of nature, healing, and resurrection. Through watching a series of short video clips and class discussion, students will categorise examples of Jesus’ miracles and summarise the key events in at least one miracle from the categories of nature, healing, and resurrection. The class will also engage in thoughtful discussion to consider different interpretations of these miracles—from literal beliefs held by many Christians to symbolic or metaphorical understandings. The aim is to deepen students’ knowledge of Jesus’ role in the Gospels and to encourage respectful exploration of diverse perspectives on faith and scripture.
