What was Jesus really like? Ask the students to look up clues into Jesus' personality. Have them search the Scripture references and write answers to the corresponding questions.
- Were some Apostles "closer" to Jesus than others? (see Mt 17:1-2)
- Did Jesus avoid associating with women? (see Lk 8:1-3)
- Did Jesus ever cause any trouble? (see Jn 2:13-17)
- Did Jesus ever have any fun? (see Jn 2:1-2)
- Was Jesus ever confused or depressed? (see Mk 14:32-35)
- Did Jesus ever get frustrated with his friends? (see Mk 10:13-14)
- Did Jesus ever disagree with his Mother? (see Jn 2:1-5)
- Did Jesus ever hang out with the "in" crowd? (see Mt 9:9-13)
- Did Jesus get along with everybody? (see Mt 22:15-22)
- Did Jesus ever feel overwhelmed and under stress? (see Mk 3:7-12)
To conclude, have the students write or discuss ways that Jesus' personality is similar (and different) to their own.
