Revisit (4 min.): Use the ideas for discussion. Then offer the Enjoy Life handout (th lec. 4).
PUBLISHER: Hello neighbor, how are you?
HOUSEWIFE: Okay, thanks for asking. We're all fine so far.
PUBLISHER: I am glad that you are well, nowadays, it is difficult with the situation in which we find ourselves, it is difficult to feel well either because of an illness, or because of suffering, poverty, but you have asked yourself, are you things will end one day?
HOUSEWIFE: Well I guess not, I think we should get used to living with these things.
PUBLISHER: Remember that I mentioned last time to you that the Bible gave some very good hope.
HOUSEWIFE: What kind of hope are you referring to?
PUBLISHER: Look at what the Bible says, just one of these hopes, for example, as I said before, today we are self-conscious about suffering death and sometimes we shed tears, but look at what this text says about those things, Revelation 21 : 3-4, I would like you to read it.
HOUSEWIFE: Okay, she says ...
PUBLISHER: We pause and here in this text it says that God is going to be with humanity, but what will be the benefit, would you like to continue reading verse 4?
HOUSEWIFE: If that's okay, she says ...
PUBLISHER: What do you think about what this text says, that God is going to wipe away tears and that death will no longer exist and there will no longer be sadness or pain.
HOUSEWIFE: Well, it would be something very nice, but is it true what the Bible says?
PUBLISHER: As the text mentioned at the beginning that you read, it says that it is God who is going to be with humanity. Do you think that for God it is something impossible?
HOUSEWIFE: I don't think so, with the power of God everything is possible.
PUBLISHER: And look not only at that Promise that death will be taken away or the tears from the eyes will dry, there are other promises that are quite good for human beings and one of these promises is recorded here in this brochure that I bring along with me. call: «Enjoy life forever» and look here in point 2 of lesson 2, also mention other things that we can enjoy, if you notice and in the subtopic there it says perfect health and food, and look there are other things, for example says, peace and security, home for everyone, nice jobs, would you like to live in a world where all these things are fulfilled?
HOUSEWIFE: Of course, we would all like to live.
PUBLISHER: What do you think if I come back the next time and we talk about when those things are going to happen.
HOUSEWIFE: Okay, I'll be waiting for you.
