Matthew 27:1-31 “The One and Only King”

Matthew 27:1-31

March 26, 2017 • Jason Carson

TOGETHER GROUP QUEST IONS
Read Matthew 27:1-31. What is God’s Word saying to you in this
passage? What is God’s heart for His people?

Compare Peter to Judas. Both deeply regretted what they had
done, but one took his life while the other went back to Jesus. Why
the difference? What does it teach us about the difference
between remorse and repentance?

The mob that day yelled “Crucify,” not just “Kill him!” What is the
difference between wanting someone dead and wanting someone
crucified? Do your sins shout crucify louder than the mob that day?
Read Colossians 2:13-15. What was happening as Jesus died and
what were the results of His suffering?

Barabbas was a murderer and a thief sentenced to death, until
Jesus came and took his place. Jesus’ condemnation was Barabbas’
freedom. Describe how that is also your story.

Pilate tried to do the right thing 5 different times, but still ended
up going with the wrong solution (He said “I find no fault in him,”
his wife warned him that he’s innocent and not to do it, he washed
his hands of it, he stated Jesus wasn’t worthy of death, and he
offered to punish Jesus and then release him). Pilate followed the
easy way instead of the right way. How do we do the same thing?

How is Jesus the King of Kings in your life? When is He a rival King
(where you want Him to fix everything in your life), and when is He
a convenient King (where you just want Him to make your life feel
better)? List some practical ways in which Jesus can be the
unrivaled, reigning, Savior King in your life.

Behold the Resurrection!
