“Jesus, playing in the mud, shows himself to be this creator much as God himself played in the mud in ___1___ and created the first human being.”

But at the riverbank, Jesus doesn't form Adam in his own image. He creates something completely different.

“He starts forming some sparrows out of the mud, and as he is doing this, a Jewish man walks by and sees what he is doing and gets upset, because it's a Sabbath day. So Jesus is violating the Sabbath, he's working on the Sabbath. This is of course foreshadowing what's going to happen later on in his life and he gets under these controversies over___2___. “

“Well, the man runs off to tell Jesus's father what he's done. And Joseph comes into the scene, and then he sees his son there and he sees these, these sparrows made out of the mud and gets angry and says ‘Jesus, what have you done, you violated the Sabbath.’"

Jesus responds by clapping his hands. ________3________.

It is the first miracle described in this___4___. A story meant to illustrate the _____5_____ within Jesus, the child.

“He's destroyed all evidence of___6___. From so, it shows that Jesus can create life, so that he, in fact, has divine power in him, and it resolves the problem with him working on the Sabbath that he, in fact, is the Lord of the Sabbath, even as a 5-year-old boy.”

What comes next in the _____7_____is almost beyond belief. This Gospel claims the Son of God is capable of taking life.

“He has a temper, kind of a bad temper. And when Jesus gets mad, watch out! Because he's got some real ___8___ in his temper.”
