Home church questions
- Read the Passage.
- Review the Message.
- Why do the chief priests fear the people? Why do they think killing Jesus will help?
- What does the entrance of Satan reveal about the larger story at play in this moment?
- What would it take for you to sell out? Could you be a martyr for your faith?
- How does Jesus represent the Passover Lamb (see Exodus 12)?
- How do you balance Divine Sovereignty and Human Responsibility? (Remember, this is a highly debatable topic so be open for discussion and different understandings. Be curious rather than argumentative.)
- How could Judas have been so deceived?
- What role does money play in religious betrayal and deception?
