Hey! Check out our community group discussion questions this week.
Matthew 17:22-23 | Jesus Died
For a second time, Jesus reminds his disciples of what will happen soon. He will be delivered to men, be killed, and then be raised again on the third day. The time is coming. He will stick to the plan. His disciples are deeply grieved.
22 As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men, 23 and they will kill him, and he will be raised on the third day.” And they were greatly distressed.
Matthew 17:22-23
Their friend, their Lord, the one who loved them, was going to be killed. This is difficult to accept. Jesus died as a result of sin, for sin, and for sinners. He died for sin because it separated us from God, paying the penalty for our sins. He died because we are sinners.
Discussion Questions
D&A (Discipleship & Accountability)
