Lesson 11 of 11: The End

Christians understand death as a real and painful enemy, yet one that has been defeated through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Those who belong to Christ are given eternal life, and they look forward not to escape from the world, but to the resurrection of the body and the renewal of all creation when heaven and earth are made one.

Please watch the video and answer the questions below.

• Remember Jesus' "lost and found" stories. What part of those stories speaks to today's topic?

• Some say that Jesus' return sounds scary. Others say that it is a comfort. What do you think and why?
