Reflection: Just as Paul is reminding his brothers and
sisters of the truth and the life of Jesus, sometimes the people in our lives
need the same reminders. It is only through
knowledge of and lived example of the Gospel that we will be saved. Jesus is “the way and the truth and the life.” We must always work to remind those around us
of that, so they may share in the glory of heaven as well.
Reflection
for younger saints:
Paul is writing to remind people of everything he taught them about
Jesus. We must also tell others about
Jesus and remind them of all He did for us so they can know, love, and serve
Jesus.
Big
Picture: Let your
life be a reminder of Jesus’ life
Discussion
Starters:
Younger saints: Why did Paul write this letter to the Corinthians? What do we need to do just like Paul was doing? How do we do that?
Older saints: Do you verbally discuss your faith and Jesus’ teachings with others? Why or why not? Is your life a lived example of Jesus’ teaching? Who is your life needs to be reminded of the truth and the life of Jesus?

Fun
Fact: The eighth
commandment is: Thou shalt not bear
false witness against thy neighbor. In
this we are commanded to always speak the truth in all things. The eighth commandment forbids lies (St.
Joseph’s Baltimore Catechism No. 1, 2008, p. 98).
