REFLECT TOGETHER

2. What does Jesus’ silence in certain moments teach us about wisdom and

restraint?

3. Which detail of the crucifixion impacts you the most and why?

FOR STUDENTS

1. Why didn’t Jesus fight back when He had the power to stop everything?

2. Why do people sometimes follow the crown instead of doing what is right?
