Lesson 13 (June 20-26), Crucified and Risen

Gethsemane

  1. If we can be judged by intent--the thief on the cross will be saved, could the world have been saved by Jesus'victory at Gethsemane? Was that enough?
  2. What was Jesus battling in Gethsemane?
  3. Why did Jesus not explain things fully to His disciples?
Judas
  1. What made Judas more susceptible to the temptations of the devil? What could Judas have done to put himself on safer ground?
  2. Was Judas sincere?
  3. Didn't Judas have the right motives for saving money? What made it wrong?
Either For Him or Against Him
  1. If there were a middle ground for people who wished to be neutral and neither suffer hell nor enjoy heaven, how many would choose that? Why is that not an option?
  2. Could the people have done anything to prevent the crucifixion of Jesus?
He is Risen
  1. Why were the disciples so slow to accept the fact of the resurrection? 
  2. Why do you think women were given the privilege of being the first to witness the resurrection? Would men have been more credible?
  3. What are the evidences that convince us that the resurrection was real?
All Things Must Be Fulfilled
  1. Did Jesus do things  to fulfill prophecy? Does that make the prophecy less impressive?
  2. What convinced the disciples that Jesus was actually resurrected from the dead?
  3. Why do you think Jesus appeared first to disciples other than from among the twelve?
  4. Why does Jesus not appear to more people nowadays to convince them of the resurrection?
