Discussion Questions:
1. The Jewish leaders, in their hypocrisy, tried to use the law to justify themselves while also trying to execute Jesus. In what ways do we use the law to serve ourselves today? How do we guard ourselves from acting in this way?
2. How does the story of the bronze serpent from the OT foreshadow Jesus’s work on the cross? What does it look like “to lift up the son of man” in regards to our evangelism?
3. How does Jesus’s display of power when facing Pilate and the religious leaders compare to the way the world views power? Should this change the way we address conflict in general and in our work for the kingdom?
