Sermon Discussion Questions
Questions for reflection:
1. What feelings or thoughts come to mind when you reflect on the trials of Jesus?
2. What should be our response as Christians who know and appreciate what Jesus went through for us?
Questions for discussion:
1. What does his silence in the face of his accusers tell us about Jesus? What can we learn from his example?
