The Crucifixion of Jesus
Matthew 27:32-56 details for us the day that Jesus died.
I don’t know about you guys, but Holy Week has been going along well. We already talked about Palm Sunday, and today we are going to do a bit of reflecting and thinking.
Sometimes we need to shift the way that we learn and today that means we not just know that Jesus died for our sins, but we find out the “why” and the impact it has on humanity.
We often think “He died for our sins” but do we really understand the sacrifice?
I was a part of a bible study this week and we talked about the importance of understanding the sacrifices that Jesus made for us.
Since I know that we have a day off today, I wanted us to go through some questions and see how much we really know about the significance of today.
I wanted to ask questions that leave us researching and digging to realise how much Jesus endured. You can share with your Sunday/Sabbath School or even with some friends and see how much we really know.
