In tonight’s episode, episode 8, Jesus shares the message of the “Big Sermon” (the Beatitudes. While He and Matthew prepare the content of the big sermon, the disciples spread the word while fighting amongst themselves. A high-ranking Sanhedrin member is shocked by Shmuel’s reports on Jesus. Thousands arrive for the sermon, including familiar faces.
Listed below are the discussion questions to discuss with your household or friends.
- Why can’t the disciples all agree on how to help prepare for the sermon event?
- Which of the beatitudes feels the closest to you? What about the hardest or farthest from you?
- Go through the beatitudes and think of one person in your life who portrays each of these traits.
- Were you surprised when we learned who Judas was – or did you see it coming? What do you see in his character so far?
- There are several places in the New Testament where Jesus may be reacting to a teaching that was specific to either Hillel or Shammai. As this episode indicates, Hillel was usually the more lenient of the two. How is this religious disagreement shaping responses to Jesus?
- Jesus says the Sermon on the Mount is a manifesto of revolution and radical shift. What did he mean by this?
