  3. What are the small things the Savior is asking you to do right now? How are you responding?
  4. Why do you think Jesus wanted His friends nearby during His darkest hour?
  5. Which word in this verse — wounded, bruised, chastised, or healed — speaks most powerfully to you?
  6. What does the phrase 'It is finished' mean to you? What exactly was 'finished'?
  7. How does the Resurrection change everything about how you face life's challenges?

Sample questions from this week's game

True or False: Isaiah 53, written about 700 years before Christ, prophesied that the Messiah would be 'a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.'

Isaiah 53:3

Show answer

True — True! Isaiah 53:3 perfectly describes Jesus Christ centuries before His birth: 'He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.' Isaiah saw the Savior's suffering in prophetic detail, confirming that God's plan of salvation was known from the beginning.

It's the night before the crucifixion. You're in the Garden of Gethsemane with Jesus. He asks you to stay awake and watch while He prays. You're exhausted, and your eyes keep closing. What do you do?

Matthew 26:36-41

Show answer

Fight to stay awake and pray — the Savior needs your support right now — In Gethsemane, Jesus asked His closest friends to simply stay awake and pray. They couldn't do it. This teaches us that even small acts of faithfulness matter to the Savior — praying, reading scriptures, attending church. He doesn't ask for perfection; He asks for effort.
