Clue #6 (Continued as Homework)

3) 3 verses where Jesus is used in a metaphor:
- 14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.
- The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood[a] it.
- 36When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"

4) What does this metaphor reveal about God's world and your undersatnding of it??
The three metaphors that I chose reveal that I honestly don't know much about God's world. My understanding can never be complete. I will never fully know what God is trying to say. I can only try and grab the basic essence of the truth behind it all. I know that when he says Jesus is the lamb of God that he is a sacrifice. I know this because that is what lambs were used for back in the bible times: blood sacrifice. I know that Jesus died on the cross and his blood was spilled to cover our sins the same way a lambs blood is spilled to cover our sins. The verse where Jesus is portrayed as the light shows us that Jesus is the true way to God, and that Satan and his followers don't understand him. Looking at this metaphor we can also know that in Jesus there is life. Looking at the last verse, we can know that although we think of Jesus in his human form, his true form is the Word. I don't know what exactly that form is but I know that it is something unhuman and more Godly.
