A video introduction using illustrations, personal stories, metaphors, or active learning examples to begin the discussion.
After the video, prompts are supplied for thinking and sharing with others personal perception and experience. This opening activity prompts participants to think about and relate to the topic, and to share with others.
When you look at the image of the old woman/young girl, some people see a young woman, while others see an older woman. Neither is wrong, because it is a function of how your brain sees. Consider the list below of tools to see accurately for different needs. Now, think about how you perceive truth, and which “lens” you often use? What helps you see best?
Microscope Tiny details invisible to the eye
Magnifying Glass Enlarges what’s already visible
Camera Lens Frames and focuses a chosen view
Binoculars Makes distant objects appear near
Telescope Reveals vast, far-off realities (stars, planets)
X-Ray Shows bones and structures beneath the surface
Ultrasound Displays hidden life in motion (like a growing baby)
CAT Scan Provides layered cross-sections of the body
MRI Views soft tissues and inner structures in detail
Surgical Probe Explores and examines specific areas with care
The Bible discussion begins with a careful reading of the whole passage, either from your own Bibles, or from the provided images below.
Then participants are to ask:
Instead, He revealed the truth, no matter the cost. When Jesus said, “My Father is always at His work… and I too am working,” and “whatever the Father does, the Son also does,” He spoke boldly about His unity with the Father. The leaders heard His words and drew a sharp conclusion: Jesus claimed equality with God.
Jesus didn’t rebel; He revealed. His mission showed the Father’s heart through every action and word. He explained that He could do nothing on His own—everything He did reflected the Father’s purpose. What God does, Jesus does. What God loves, Jesus loves.
Jesus came to give life (John 10:10), raise the dead (John 11:25), and lead us into a relationship shaped by love, not fear. To see the same desire for a relationship in the Old Testament, read Exodus 34:6–9.
How does it change your trust to know Jesus sees the greatest miracle as raising people from death to life?
