Instructions: Do not talk to anyone. First, read through all the
questions. Keep your answers to yourself! If you’ve missed a class, that’s O.K., do the best you can! When you're finished, hand me your paper.
First one done gets to have their donuts!
1) In John 3:16, the Bible says that God so loved the ____________ that he gave his only ________, that ________________believes in him would not perish but have __________________life. (Read John 3:16 and fill in the blanks.)
2) True love doesn’t condemn. In John 8:4-5, the Bible says the religious leaders wanted to stone the woman because she had been caught in the act of adultery. How can we know that the religious leaders were really not concerned with following the law?
(See Leviticus 20:10.)
3) What did Jesus say to the religious leaders? (See John 8:7) What can we learn from Jesus’ example?
4) God requires us to love even our enemies. According to the law , there were limits to retaliating against someone that did harm to another. What does the Law say about ‘getting even’. Read Exodus 21:22-25. Fill in the blanks: “For serious injury, you are to take_________ for _________, an eye for an _______, tooth for ____________, hand for _____________, foot for _____________, burn for _____________, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.”
5) Jesus came to fulfill the law, not to change it. Read Matthew 5:38-48, he tells us what we really need to do with our enemies. In your own words, summarize what Jesus tells you and me.
