FIRMING UP: Teaching Minds

DEEPENING
The Israelite are in need of a leader who

would lead them to a promised land, they
are called Kings after the Judges and
Samuel. Let us discover how these three
great kings lead the people of God.
You have understood who the three great Kings are anointed by God and how they
fulfilled their mission following the four kinds of laws and living the purpose of each
one as obedient children of God.
Answer the following activities to deepen your understanding on the three
king of Israel
The Natural Law
There are many different types of laws that help to guide and inform the
decisions we make. The Church recognizes many levels of law, including
the eternal law, divine law, the natural law, and human law.
Kinds of Laws
1. Eternal law is found only in God himself, who is the source of all
order and being.
2. Divine Law is what God has revealed to us through Scripture and
Tradition, such as the Ten Commandments.
3. Human law consists of laws in our society, like speed limits, and
ecclesiastical laws, such as abstaining from meat on Fridays.
4. The natural law is one that is not spoken of as much in our civil
discourse today. Natural law is written into the very fabric of living
things, and it is our ability to instinctively know right from wrong and
to seek good instead of evil.
The natural law is not an invention of the Catholic Church or of any

religion in history. In fact, the Catechism quotes Cicero in describing the
natural law. He once wrote, “For there is a true law: right reason. It is in
conformity with nature, is diffused among all men, and is immutable and
eternal; its orders summon to duty; its prohibitions turn away from offense
. . . . To replace it with a contrary law is a sacrilege; failure to apply even
one of its provisions is forbidden; no one can abrogate it entirely” (CCC
1956). Cicero certainly was not a Christian, yet he spoke about eternal
truth and the duty we have as human beings to obey this law.
The natural law is written on our hearts, and we can follow it by
using right reason. However, it is possible to ignore the natural law and act
contrary to it. Some of the most basic moral laws that all societies enforce
are known even to the smallest of children: stealing and murder are evil
actions. These principles were not invented out of someone’s imagination
and imposed on the rest of society. Rather, we all know within ourselves
that these actions are evil, and we also know that legitimate authority
should punish people who go against the natural law and disrupt the order
of society through murder or theft.
It is hard to have a conversation about what is right and wrong
without a sense of natural law. The Catholic Church has long been the
most outspoken institution against the legal protection of abortion. Some of
her critics say that the Church should not impose her religious beliefs on
others. But the problem with this criticism is that our belief that abortion
is wrong is not, at its core, a religious belief. Any person with a clear-
thinking mind can know that abortion is an evil action and should not be
allowed (or promoted) in human society. It goes against the common good
of society by devaluing human life and disrespecting the order of human
nature, which has the impulse to grow, thrive, and pass life on to the next
generation.
Natural Law should be the basis for the civil laws which govern
human society. Otherwise, what would laws be based on? Without an
understanding of the natural law, people who happen to be in power can
impose their arbitrary will with no reference to anything higher than
themselves. The Catechism again says, “The natural law, the Creator’s very
good work, provides the solid foundation on which man can build the
structure of moral rules to guide his choices. It also provides the
indispensable moral foundation for building the human community.
Finally, it provides the necessary basis for the civil law with which it is
connected, whether by a reflection that draws conclusions from its
principles, or by additions of a positive and juridical nature” (CCC 1959).
The natural law is written on our hearts and guides the human race
to goodness and happiness. This is not a specifically Christian teaching,
but one that even pagans such as Cicero have recognized as a sure moral
guide and pathway to flourishing in society.

SUMMARY
Saul (c. 1020-1000 B.C.). The elders of Israel came to Samuel. They said the people did not
want judges. They wanted a king. Through the prophet Samuel, God chose Saul to be their
first King.
Samuel obeyed God. He told the people God would let them have a king. But kings would take
their fields and animals. One-day God talked to Samuel. God said a young man would come
the next day. This man would be the king. The next day a young man came to Samuel. He
ACTIVITY 2: The Message of Truth
was a righteous Israelite. He was big and strong. His name was Saul. Samuel asked Saul to
stay with him. Samuel anointed Saul with oil. Saul was to be the king of Israel. Samuel called
all the Israelites together. He told them God had chosen Saul to be their king. But some of the
people did not want Saul to be their king.
David (c. 1000-962 B.C.) God told Samuel to go to Bethlehem. A man named Jesse lived
there. One of Jesse‘s sons would be the next king of Israel. Samuel obeyed God. He went to
Bethlehem. He took a calf to sacrifice to God. Samuel told Jesse and his sons to come to the
sacrifice. One of the sons was tall and strong. Samuel thought this son would be the king.
But God said he had not chosen that son. Jesse ‘s other sons came to Samuel. God had not
chosen any of them to be king. Samuel asked if Jesse had any more sons. Jesse said his
youngest son was not there. His name was David. Samuel told Jesse to send for David. David
was watching and taking care of the sheep and he came to Samuel. David was a good boy.
God said he had chosen David to be king. Samuel anointed David by putting oil on David ‘s
head then blessed him.
Solomon (c. 962-922 B.C.) Solomon who loved God became the king of Israel. He asked God
to help him to be a good king. So God was happy and blessed Solomon because he chose to
be wise. God was glad Solomon chose to be wise, becoming the wisest man on earth. God told
Solomon to obey his commandments. With this, people came from other lands to ask him
questions which were wisely answered. Kings and queens came to see him and brought him
beautiful gifts.
There was peace in the land of Israel. God said King Solomon should build a temple in
Jerusalem which would be the house of God. Where the Ark of the Covenant would be.
Thousands of people helped build the temple; The walls and floors were covered with gold.
