U_ L_ NOTES BIG\u2008IDEA: KEY TEXT:\u2008 CURRICULUM: TAKING AIM: PREPARE: OPENER: We\u2019re going to play an art game. It\u2019s easy and fun! You just have to:\u20081. Fold your blank piece of paper into three equal sec- tions (portrait, not landscape), make two lines over the top fold to show where the neck is and two lines on the next fold to show where the waist is. 2. Your task is to \u201ccreate\u201d a head on your sheet, and then the body and legs on two other students\u2019 sheets. At the end, we\u2019ll unfold the papers to see what kind of creations we\u2019ve come up with! [Allow about ten minutes for this, stating that you are only giving two mi- nutes of drawing per section, then time at the end to showcase the creations]. TRANSITION: It\u2019s kind of fun continuing on where someone leaves off and to see where others \ufb01nish with what you started. In an amaz- ing way, that\u2019s similar to what Jesus has done with us. He started a mission \u2014 a mis- sion to bring His life to a lost world \u2014 and He invites to continue where He left off. Listen to this verse, written a different gospel writer named Luke (not John): \u201cIn my \ufb01rst book [the gospel of Luke], O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach\u201d (Acts 1:1). So the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) record all the things Jesus BEGAN to do and teach. But now jump down to verse 8:\u2008\u201cBut you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be wit- nesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.\u201d He now invites His followers to continune what Jesus started. In our opening activity, you drew \u201clines\u201d to show where the next person was to start AND\u2008where to \ufb01nish. Today, I want you to see the line Jesus drew to show His followers where to start and where to \ufb01nish. You are going to see one amazing truth which, if you get a hold of this \u2014 or, rather, let this get a hold of you \u2014 it will blow you away! 203","ACTIVITY: For your activity, I\u2019m going to give you Jesus\u2019 passport. Ob- U_ L_ NOTES viously, it\u2019s not a real passport. But you are going to trace the line Jesus made as He travelled for 3.5 years on this earth. You might \ufb01nd this un- usual, but during that short time, Jesus basically travelled only in a small circle within Israel. Famous musicians often embark on a \u201cworld tour\u201d to promote their work, but not Jesus. He stuck to one small circle, which He travelled only 2.5 times. That\u2019s it! Yet that \u201ctour\u201d has forever impacted our world in what I call MIS- SION\u200804-03-16 (which I\u2019ll explain at the end) WHOLE GROUP: 204","ACTIVITY: U_ L_ NOTES WHOLE GROUP: 205","206 YOUR TASK: 1.
