Unit Biblical Integration Goal(s):

Student will be able to

Understand the meaning of "the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking" in the Bible.
Eating & drinking are the most important part of Chinese culture. When we eat the Bread of Life and drink from Jesus’ blood we are born again, we are in God’s kingdom. We connect with him. Our spiritual life grows. We have righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Activity: students pair up to practice ordering food in Mandarin while contrasting physical food with spiritual nourishment, connecting to Romans 14:17.

Step 1 — Role-Play (10 mins): Working with a partner, one student plays the waiter (服务员) and the other plays the customer. Using vocabulary and 点菜 (order food), students role-play ordering a meal and requesting dietary preferences.
Step 2 — Spiritual Connection & Journaling (5 mins): After the role-play, students reflect on how food is central to Chinese culture. They write a 2-sentence response in their learning journal in Mandarin addressing how Jesus as the "Bread of Life" provides true righteousness, peace, and joy beyond physical eating and drinking.
Memory Verse Practice: End by having the class recite Romans 14:17 together in Mandarin: “因为神的国不在乎吃喝，只在乎公义、和平，并圣灵中的喜乐。”
