This Sunday marks the half-way point of our Lent journey.
How is your Lent journey going?
Have you felt any dissonance?
What is making you uncomfortable these days?
In this week’s scripture, we read about Jesus’ arrest and Peter’s denials (John 18:12-27). There are some interesting details in this passage that I hope we can explore together. Things like…
Verse 12, “a company of soldiers”… do you know how many that is?
It seems like there are two high priests (Annas and Caiaphas)… do you know that history?
How many disciples followed Jesus once he was arrested?
What are your thoughts regarding Peter after reading this scripture?
What are your thoughts of Jesus during his questioning?
What in this scripture causes you to be uncomfortable…
Is it Jesus’ actions compared to Peter’s actions?
Is it the corrupt Jewish church confronting a calm, nonviolent Jesus?
Is it the display of false power of the Jewish church or the way Jesus demonstrates power through sacrifice?
Let’s talk about it on Sunday.
