Good Friday Story for Families: The King dies and Rescues

About this sermon

Here are some questions to dig deeper into the passage. 1. Why do you think we’re told about Jesus’ clothes in v.34. Jesus’ clothes - check out Psalm 22:18. 2. So what do we learn about why Jesus was there on the Cross? 3. What are all the people mentioned in vv.35, 36 & 39 doing? 4. Look a little bit more carefully at what the different people say to Jesus: i. The rulers in v.35 ii. The soldiers in v.36 iii. One of the criminals in v.39 Do you think what they all say makes sense to them? Are they right? 5. What does one of the criminals see about Jesus in v.41? Why could he be so impressed with Jesus? 6. Look at v.34 – why is this so surprising and think of what impact it would have had on the people around the cross. Do you think this might have impressed one of the criminals? Why? 7. What is so amazing about what Jesus says to one of the criminals in v.43? Think about what is happening to Jesus…. Does it look like He’s winning? Think about what Jesus actually is promising to this criminal? How on earth could he do that? What Sort of King Bryson Smith & Philip Percival © Words: 2003 Emu Music Australia, Inc.
