- There was a traitor amongst the twelve disciples of Jesus. How should we interpret this? How could this be? (see John 13:10-11)
- What does this passage teach us about the nature of Christ’s kingdom? How will it advance? How should Christians treat their enemies?
- Earlier, Christ commanded his disciples to get swords for themselves and said that two would suffice (Luke 22:35-38). What does this passage teach us about the way in which disciples of Jesus should or should not use swords? May Christians defend themselves? May Christains serve as police officers or soldiers? Should the church use the sword to advance its cause? What should the church do if persecution comes?
- Why did Christ submit himself to the darkness?
- How do you plan to apply this text and the sermon that was preached?
