The Sheep & The Goats (March 26 - April 1)

We are getting close to Holy Week, and so some of these readings are from that timeline.  However, so that you have ample time to read each section and meditate on it, I’ve moved up some of the readings.
Day 1:  Matthew 25:31-46  (Sermon Focus)
Day 2:  Matthew 26:1-16  Anointing of Jesus
Day 3:  Matthew 26:47-56  Betrayal in the Garden
Day 4:  Matthew 27:1-26  Trial before Pilate​

Day 5:  Reflect…
What do we learn most honors Jesus from the parable of the Sheep and the Goats?

Why were the disciples angry about the anointing Jesus received at Simon’s house?  Why did Jesus praise the woman?

Why do you think this act prompted Judas to betray Jesus?

How does Jesus respond to the betrayal in the Garden?

What does Judas’ remorse teach us about his actions?

Why was Pilate amazed at Jesus’ lack of response at the trial?

How do we usually respond to betrayal?  What can we learn from Jesus’s actions in this passage?
