What is the name of the tax collector in this story?
Zacchaeus the Tax Collector
How old was the dying girl in this story?
42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old).
Jesus' reply to the member of the Jewish ruling council was that "no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _.
3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.
Who were the two groups of people that Jesus was addressing in the crowds throughout these parable teachings?
Who are the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
What physical trait did the tax collector possess that made some things difficult for him, and where does scripture tell us this?
3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
How long had the sick woman in this story been suffering?
25 And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years.
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.6Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.7You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’
Explain what Jesus means about being born again in YOUR OWN WORDS!!
Accept multiple answers:
“When you’re born, that’s your physical birth. That’s the moment you were birthed into the world. You got your name, your fingerprints, your personality, all of that came with your physical birth.
“But when you’re born again, it’s not about your body, it’s about your spirit. When you are born again is when you accept that Jesus paid for your sins on the cross, and His very Holy Spirit comes to live inside of you.
What interesting thing did the Sadducees NOT believe in?
23 That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question.
5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.”6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
In these passages, explain how Jesus is working on the hearts of all the people present.
Will accept multiple answers:
But Zacchaeus stood up. He said, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of what I own to those who are poor. And if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay it back.”
“Zacchaeus didn’t just feel happy for a day; he was transformed. The same man who used to take from others was now giving back. That’s what the love of Jesus does. It changes people from the inside out.”
To the people who were present Jesus shows that he is willing and wanting to spend time with EVERYONE, no just those who are living right.
“Jesus’ love didn’t wait for Zacchaeus to get it all together; His love started the change.
What does Jesus tell the woman it was that healed her?
34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”
Recite John 3:16 without looking it up!
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
What two commandments did Jesus give us here that can be summed up as Love God and Love Others?
37 Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
What can we learn or take away from these verses?
IN YOUR OWN WORDS
Will accept multiple answers.
What two things can you pick out from the story of both the girl and the woman that are either weirdly similar or what was needed for healing?
Must be exactly what we are looking for, not just close.
The number 12:
12-year-old girl.
Woman suffering for twelve years.
Faith:
Jesus told the family to "believe"
Jesus tells the woman her "faith" has healed her.
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
