What other attributes, or virtues of Christ can you think of?
Where can we find scriptures, that demonstrate these qualities of Christ?
Spend time as a class looking up definitions of each of the above virtues and write them on the board. Then give the class time to work together to find examples of Christ either teaching about one of these virtues or an example of him living it. If they can't find one, then they can try to find an example in any part of the scriptures. They can use any book in the New Testament (leverage search engines, topical guide, guide to scriptures, etc.). They can also use Missionary Prep student manual (this link).
Demonstrate one or two ways to go about finding an example by using search engines, topical guide, study helps, etc.
