Sunday Stories for Families: The King is Arrested (5/4/2020)

About this sermon

Activity Sheets for Children can be found here: https://stebbes.org/livestream Here are some questions to dig deeper into the passage. 1. Look at the difference between Jesus' response (v.48) and the disciples' response (v.49). Why do you think Jesus behaves like this? Why do you think the disciples behave the way they do? Imagine you had been there. How do you think you would have behaved? 2. What is so amazing about what Jesus does in v.51? What can we learn about Jesus' character? Why is this perhaps different from other healing miracles he performed? 3. Think about who was in the group that came to arrest Jesus. How is Judas described in v.47. 4. What is so shocking that, along with Judas, those who came to arrest Jesus were "chief priests, the officers of the temple guard and the elders" (v.52)? 5. Why does Jesus say it’s night-time – isn’t it obvious? What do you think he is talking about when he mentions darkness? (v.53) 6. Jesus says nothing as they seize him and take him away (v.54). Why is this surprising/not surprising? Look up Isaiah 53:7. 7. As you think about this true story, who seems to be in charge of what is happening? Who Do You Say I Am?
