In the class of Introduction to Christian Theology today, we used the pawn shop to illustrate the idea of redemption in Jesus' death for us.
The interesting thing was all the group members agreed on this idea, but we had different opinions regarding whether we were the one who went to a pawn shop or we were the things that had been deposited. We also disagreed with one another about who was the owner of the shop: was it the devil, sin or was it God?
I kept asking questions in the group discussion. The result was we found out that we had taken too many things for granted, such as the above pawn-shop thing. We thought we were talking about the same thing but we were only using the same vocabularies that had different definitions.
It's still fun. Hope it will remain so.
