BL1.3

Recognize in a selection of scripture passages that Jesus is the “Word of God become human” to communicate God’s love and forgiveness (Luke 1:26-38 – Annunciation; Luke 1:39-45 – Visitation; John 1:1-1 – and the Word became flesh; Jesus the good shepherd – John 10:11-18; the parable of the prodigal son – Lk. 15:11-32; the lost sheep – Lk. 15:3-7) and link this to an understanding of the Gospels as the inspired story of Christ Jesus. [CCC nos. 50-73; 456-682]
