Chrisvo - Module 1 Activities

Topic 1

 Task 1
o Vocation - derives from the Latin word “vocare” which means “to call”.

 Task 2
o Genesis 2: 7-8
7 
o then the Lord God formed the man[a] out of the dust of the ground and blew into his
nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
o 8 The Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, [b] and placed there the man whom
he had formed.
o Basic Commentaries

a. 2:7 God is portrayed as a potter molding the human body out of earth. There is a play on
words in Hebrew between ’adam (“human being,” “man”) and ’adama (“ground”). It is not
enough to make the body from earth; God must also breathe into the man’s nostrils. A
similar picture of divine breath imparted to human beings in order for them to live is
found in Ez 37:5, 9–10; Jn 20:22. The Israelites did not think in the (Greek) categories of
body and soul.

b. 2:8 Eden, in the east: the place names in vv. 8–14 are mostly derived from
Mesopotamian geography (see note on vv. 10–14). Eden may be the name of a region
in southern Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), the term derived from the Sumerian word eden,
“fertile plain.” A similar-sounding Hebrew word means “delight,” which may lie behind the
Greek translation, “The Lord God planted a paradise [= pleasure park] in Eden.” It
should be noted, however, that the garden was not intended as a paradise for the
human race, but as a pleasure park for God; the man tended it for God. The story is not
about “paradise lost.”

The garden in the precincts of Solomon’s Temple in Jerusalem seems to symbolize the
garden of God (like gardens in other temples); it is apparently alluded to in Ps
1:3; 80:10; 92:14; Ez 47:7–12; Rev 22:1–2.

 Discussion 1: Savoring Life


o What insights and realizations did you get from the consideration? Can you now share
some of your thoughts or insights after having read and reflected on the points for
consideration you were given?
Being alive is not enough to be called living. God gave us lives that we should cherish and
savor every passing second. After reading the consideration, I realized that I was in a rush to
accomplish my goals and to reach my dreams that I forgot to enjoy the process. With that, we
should learn to live our lives to the fullest and enjoy every moment of our lives while keeping in
mind that we should also live to become a better person not only for ourselves, but also for
other people.
