Faith Sheet questions:

1. Do you regularly ponder and meditate on Jesus Christ and what He has done for you? What thoughts have produced the most serious meditation? What thoughts have led to the most joyous praise?

2. How would you respond to someone who said that Judas had no choice because he was destined to betray Jesus? How would you respond to the argument that Judas was not guilty because he did just what God needed him to do?

3. In what areas of temptation might you be susceptible to pride and say, “I would never do that”? How do Proverbs 16:18 and 1 Corinthians 10:12 address this attitude?

4. Imagine finding out that in 24 hours you would die violently and painfully. How would you handle that knowledge? How would you spend those hours? What did Jesus do?

5. How would you explain to a non-Christian what caused Jesus such agony as He prayed in the garden?

6. Why do you suppose Judas chose a kiss as the sign identifying Jesus to the police?

7. Why is it significant that it might have been Mark, the author of this Gospel, who “ran away naked” after Jesus was arrested (14:52)?
