• Christianism

• To be a disciple is to follow Jesus’ steps and teachings. And if it isposible, to spread them for other people to know about it.

WHY JESUS’ STEPS AND NOT GOD’S?

• Jesus is human

• Someone similar to us

• God is not similar to us

• By the way, we haven’t seen Godyet

AND WHO IS JESUS?

• A person who lived in the past

• Loved his neighbours

• Enjoyed helping others

• Teached this love to everyonewho wanted to hear him

TALES’ TIME!
