1. We learned that Jesus was flogged, or beaten severely as to be as close to death as possible. This was so that the criminals would die sooner hanging on the cross. Jesus had trouble carrying His cross to Golgotha. Who does Matthew 27:32 say helped out?
2. As Jesus was hanging on the cross, what insults does Matthew 27:39-40 say some yelled at him?
3. How many hours does Matthew 27:45 say the land went dark? This is the only darkness Jesus would be in, compared to the devil being in darkness for eternity.
4. The devotion showed the torment Jesus felt because our sins separated Him from the Father for the first time in eternity past. What were Jesus’ words, in Matthew 27:46?
5. Matthew 27:50 says that Jesus cried out again in a loud voice and gave up His spirit. But what does Matthew 27:51a say happened at the temple that means that believers now have direct access to God the Father because of Jesus’ sacrificial death for OUR sins?
