Lesson 5: Who is the Promised Savior?
SCRIPTURE PASSAGE
Mark 4:36-41 - "So after leaving the crowd, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat, and other boats were with him. Now a great wind-storm developed and the waves were break-ing into the boat, so that the boat was nearly swamped. But he was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. They woke him up and said to him, 'Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to die?' So he got up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Be quiet! Calm down!' Then the wind stopped, and it was dead calm. And he said to them, 'Why are you cowardly? Do you still not have faith?' They were overwhelmed by fear and said to one another, 'Who then is this? Even the wind and sea obey him!'" (NET Bible)
Luke 7:11-17 - "Soon afterward Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him. As he approached the town gate, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother (who was a widow), and a large crowd from the town was with her. When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, “Do not weep.” Then he came up and touched the bier, and those who carried it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!” So the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him back to his mother. Fear seized them all, and they began to glorify God, saying, “A great prophet has appeared among us!” and “God has come to help his people!” This report about Jesus circulated throughout Judea and all the surrounding country." (NET Bible)
Luke 23:32-43 - "Two other criminals were also led away to be executed with him. So when they came to the place that is called “The Skull,” they crucified him there, along with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. [But Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.”] Then they threw dice to divide his clothes. The people also stood there watching, but the rulers ridiculed him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, his chosen one!” The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine, and saying, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself!” There was also an inscription over him, “This is the king of the Jews.” One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at him, saying, “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Don’t you fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we rightly so, for we are getting what we deserve for what we did, but this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingdom.” And Jesus said to him, 'I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.'"
