| SESSION OUTLINE FOCUS: (5–7 minutes) Welcome students and say: Imagine this: What if, for the next hour, you could get into a time machine and travel to any time in the past? Where would you go? What time in history would you like to visit? Ask each student to share their “time travel” wish. CONNECT: (3–5 minutes) Say: Of course I can’t actually put you in a time machine today—sorry—but we’re going to do something that will, in a small way, take us back in time to Palestine. We are going to cross a hermeneutical bridge. Any idea what kind of bridge that is? Ask for a volunteer to look up hermeneutical in the dictionary and read the definition. Discuss what a hermeneutical bridge might be. A hermeneutical bridge is one that we cross into the context of the Bible passage we are studying. We study the events in light of the culture at that time, the world at that time, the people’s experience with God at that time. We interpret the story on that side of the bridge, and then we cross it back into our time and interpret what it means for us today. Continued... |
