- The word Christ (or Messiah) is a loaded term. What concepts are encapsulated in this term? In other words, what were the people of God looking for in Christ (or Messiah)?
- Why is it difficult for people (even Jesus’ disciples at first) to accept a suffering Messiah?
- Is a suffering Messiah revealed in the Old Testament? (Hint: see Isaiah 53)
