Let’s Go Deeper:
1. Name some martyrs from history.
What did they accomplish by their deaths?
How does Jesus’ death compare with that of these martyrs?
2. What were Pilate’s concerns regarding Jesus’ trial?
3. What did the Sanhedrin hope to accomplish at Jesus’ trial?
4. What role did the Sanhedrin’s instigation of the crowds play?
Have you ever been in a situation where a group did something the individuals in it later regretted?
How did this get started?
How could it be avoided?
5. “Substitutionary atonement” sounds complicated.
How would you explain it to a children’s Sunday school class?
What would you call it?
6.
As a sinner for whom Christ suffered and died, what is your complicity in each of His torments?
7. What is the value in contemplating the appalling enormity of Jesus’ suffering?
Did the movie The Passion of the Christ (2004) go too far in its depiction of His physical suffering?
Explain.
