Scripture (ESV):
Mark 15:16-19
Genesis 3:17-18
Mark 15:20-24
Mark 15:25-35
Teaching Notes:
- The cross shows us who Jesus really is and how far God's love really goes.
- Partial suffering cannot accomplish full salvation.
- Jesus suffered to save us from our sins.
- Jesus chose not to save himself in order to save us.
Reflection Questions:
1. What does the cross reveal to you about who Jesus is? What does it reveal about what God is like?
2. Jesus refused the pain-dulling drink and fully embraced suffering. What does this teach you about the cost of your salvation and the depth of Jesus’ love for you? What part of Jesus’ suffering impacts you the most?
3. How does the truth that Jesus chose not to save himself in order to save us shape the way you view your worth and your relationship with him?
4. How does knowing that Jesus is intimately familiar with pain change the way you approach your own suffering? Does it impact your level of trust in him?
5. How does recognizing that love is not just something God does, but who He is, influence the way you think about God? In what area of your life do you struggle to fully receive His unconditional love?
