Songs can express our deepest convictions about God. God is not an absentee
God. He is present to us in the very ordinary events of our lives, in the things
that we see, in the persons whom we relate with. When we are conscious of
this presence, we see many things with new eyes, and our relationship with
those around us improve. Our awareness of God’s constant presence will

I. Jesus’ relationship with God
A. Ministries of Jesus
1. Healing
2. Table fellowship
3. Teachings of Jesus
Relevance of the ministry of Jesus today
Healing in the present time may be observed in discipleship. For instance, we
conduct charity events in the church to the community. Church groups visit the sick and pray
for the sick in terms of physical healing. Furthermore, we give forgiveness to people as we
acknowledge our own sinful nature.
Table fellowship in the present time may reflect inclusiveness/acceptance of
sinners. For example, the church is not for the perfect and holy but it welcomes each and
every one.
Teaching in the present time is Jesus speaking through the Bible, interpreted and
shared by priests or church leaders. These are mostly observed in catechism and homily.
