故事与讨论(15分钟)
引言：
逾越节盛宴之后，耶稣上橄榄山去祷告。祂带着三个门徒，彼得、雅各和约翰，因为祂非常忧虑。耶稣伏在地上祷告说："阿爸，父啊，在你凡事都能，求你将这杯从我撤去；然而不要照我的意思，只要照你的意思"。(马可福音14:36）耶稣知道将要发生什么。祂也知道，祂必须看着这一切发生。耶稣祷告完毕后，祂唤醒已经睡着的门徒："起来，我们走吧。看哪，出卖我的人近了"。(马可福音14:42)
读 马可福音14：43-51；15：1-15，22-37
问题讨论：
1. 谁出卖了耶稣，他是怎么做的？(犹大，用一个吻）
2. 祭司长把耶稣交给谁？ (彼拉多）
3. 当被问及祂是否是犹太人的王时，耶稣是如何回答的？ (祂说："是的，就像你说的那样。" 这就是为什么在十字架上耶稣的头上写着 "犹太人的王"。)
4. 当彼拉多问大家是否要释放耶稣时，他们是怎么说的？ (把祂钉在十字架上)
5. 钉十字架是什么意思？ (就是把人钉在或绑在一个木制的十字架上。在耶稣时代，这是对强盗等罪犯的一种惩罚形式。）
6. 耶稣的死对基督徒来说有什么意义？(因为神爱我们，祂差遣祂的儿子耶稣为我们的罪而死。即使耶稣以可怕而痛苦的方式死去，祂的双臂还是伸开邀请我们，拥抱我们。在罪把我们与神隔开的地方，耶稣的死成了我们回到神身边的桥梁。）
7. 耶稣在十字架上时，人们是如何对待祂的？(祂受到了各种侮辱和嘲弄。）
课堂活动(10分钟)
备选-课堂活动(15分钟)
应用(4分钟)
在给出自己的性命之前，耶稣大声喊道："我的神，我的神，你为什么离弃我？“ 就在那时，世上所有的罪都压在了耶稣身上。在这段时间里，天空是黑暗的，因为神把祂的光从世上带走了。神的光和罪的黑暗不能在一起。然后耶稣又大声喊了一次，给出了祂的魂。神的羔羊被献上了。圣经说："惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候，为我们死，神就在此将祂自己的爱向我们显明了。(罗马书5:8)” 对神来说，我们是非常特别的。祂让他的独生子死，以便我们可以活。
下节课
故事并没有到此结束。耶稣被从十字架上取下来，放进坟墓。然而，到了周日早上，耶稣的身体却不见了。完全消失了! 祂在哪里呢？下次我们将找出答案。

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)
Introduction: After the Passover feast, Jesus went up to the Mount of Olives to pray. He took three of His disciples with Him, Peter, James and John, because He was greatly troubled. Jesus fell to the ground and prayed "Abba Father, he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will." (Mark 14:36) Jesus knew what was about to happen. He knew also that He must see it through. After Jesus was finished praying, He called to his disciples who had fallen asleep, "Rise! Let's go! Here comes my betrayer." (Mark 14:42)
Read Mark 14:43-51; 15:1-15, 22-37
Discussion Questions:
1. Who betrayed Jesus, and how did he do it? (Judas, with a kiss)
2. The chief priests handed Jesus over to whom? (Pilate)
3. When asked if He was the king of the Jews, how did Jesus reply? (He said, "Yes, it is as you say" That was why a sign was placed over Jesus' head on the cross that said "king of the Jews".)
4. When Pilate asked the people if they wanted him to release Jesus, what did they say? (Crucify him)
5. What is meant by Crucifixion? (It is when a person is nailed or tied to a wooden cross. During Jesus' time, this was a form of punishment for criminals such as robbers.)
6. What is significant about the death of Jesus to the Christian believer? (Because God loved us so much, He sent His son Jesus to die for our sins. Even with the horrible and painful way Jesus died, His arms were stretched out to invite us, to embrace us. Where sin had separated us from God, Jesus' death became a bridge back to God.)
7. How did people treat Jesus while he was on the cross? (He was insulted and mocked)

APPLICATION (4 minutes)
Before He gave up his life, Jesus cried in a loud voice, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" It was then that all the sin of the world was laid upon Jesus. The sky was dark during this time because God took His light away from the world. The light of God and the darkness of sin cannot be together. Then Jesus cried one more time, and gave up His soul. The Lamb of God had been sacrificed. The Bible says, "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) We must be very special to God. He allowed His only son to die, so that we may live.
NEXT WEEK
