From quotesgram.com

The examination of conscience means to look at how we have used your conscience. When we examine (check, look, observe) our conscience how much of a difference it made to our lives. To think about what you’ve done over our lives, to reflect on our decisions and how we have treated others.

Luke 23 : 39-43

Scripture:

WALT : Explain the relationship between the choices people make everyday and life after death.

Luke 23 : 39-43

The scripture is set of the time of Jesus’ crucifixion when Jesus is hanging on the cross with the two criminals. With one saying ‘you are the messiah, save yourself and us’. And the other recognizes and ask ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom’. In his act of reconciliation and repent Jesus ‘Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.’ This just proves how gentle and forgiving our messiah and God  is.

Choices, Judgement and Life After Death

WALT : Describe the relationship between the person one becomes in life and one's life after death.
