Bible Study 9/9


How Love Wins (Thief) by Steven Curtis Chapman from the album Music Inspired by The Story

We began class by learning the vocabulary from the scripture passage and the song. Students first told me the vocabulary they already knew and then I helped them figure out the other words.

Vocabulary

Second we read the scripture text. Each student read only one verse since it was a shorter text.

Luke 23:32-43
New International Version (NIV)
32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”[a]And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
35 The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.”
36 The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar 37 and said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”
38 There was a written notice above him, which read: this is the king of the jews.
39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”
40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[b]
43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”





Then we listened to the song a few times. After listening twice students compared their fill in the blank answers with their neighbors answers. The following was the handout of the song lyrics:

Did you see this moment from the start that we would  _________ this cup of suffering?
