6th Grade Sunday School
Christology
Theme for the year: “God is my friend”. Father’s words “Do not be discouraged. Even though sometimes you feel that there is no God, know that He is always present. With that feeling you must remember that God is with you” The Way of Tradition, Vol. 1 p. 2.
Reflections In a Rock
Sometime prior to the lesson, collect some rocks (or get some elsewhere), enough rocks so each person in the class receives one. Collecting these rocks may take some time, but time well spent because each rock should, if possible, be quite different in shape, color, roughness, size, etc.
The next step is to form a circle with the class as close together as possible. Explain that After the lesson, each person will receive a rock, and that they will be given time to study, to examine in great detail, their own rock; they should know its complete detail. Like each of your, each rock will be totally unique. Teach the lesson below.
Chirstology
I. The Value of a Person who Fulfills The Purpose of the Creation
A. Child of God, resembles God
1. Divine Value
2. Unique value-Read Level IV, par 3 “Since man is created to be eternal, God’s desire to experience stimulating joy through a certain individual is sufficiently satisfied through that one individual. Therefore, a person who fulfills the Purpose of the Creation is a non-duplicable entity, unique in the entire universe, whoever he might be. In other words, a true person, a person who fulfills the Purpose of the Creation, is a unique individual who will never be duplicated throughout eternity, so he has an innate unique value, which cannot be denied.”
3. Cosmic value
a. Center of and ruler of entire spiritual and physical world-microcosm of and has value of entire cosmos (spiritual and physical world)
II. Jesus and the Person who Fulfills the Purpose of the Creation
A. Jesus is a man, a True Man who has fulfilled the Purpose of the Creation.
1. We are all created to be True Men and True Women, as Jesus was
a. After fulfilling the Purpose of Creation and perfecting ourselves, we will have the same value as Jesus
III. Rebirth and Trinity
We absolutely need True Parents to give us birth (or rebirth), as children without Original Sin
Satanic Trinity Original
Trinity
Satan God
Adam Eve Adam Eve

Jesus Holy Spirit True Father True Mother
Follow up (warm up activity continued)
Each person examine their own rock in great detail. Then they should ask God what he can show them in their rock that reflects their own life. (Example: the sharp edges on one side of the rock might represent sin in one’s life that needs to be smoothed o9ut and that like the water of a swift stream smooths the stone, so might people, parents, youth leaders, etc.) You will be pleased as you see youth participate like never before. You’ll learn things in kid’s lives you’d never discover in a counseling discussion or even be being close to them. They’ll reflect the past, present, and even future process they feel will have to occur so that God can use them daily.
Divide the class into teams of four to six students. Make file cards with the dollar amounts and the addenda letters shown after the questions below written in large letters. (You don’t have to write the questions on the cards) Tape them to the chalk board under the appropriate headings (The Purpose of the Messiah, etc.)
Each team should have a spokesperson. The spokesperson can pick the topic and the dollar amount. If the team answers correctly, they get the number of points on the card, and they can choose a question again. If not, they lose that many points. If the answer is incorrect, another team may answer (when called upon). If possible, give the winning team members prizes.
At the end of class, hand out the review questions to take home.
