Discussion Questions:
Old Testament
- In 1 Samuel 31:1-7, Saul and his armor-bearer were overtaken by their enemies in battle, and each fell on his own sword to kill himself. Did the armor-bearer act correctly when he refused Saul’s order to kill him. Are these death’s properly called “suicide?” How do they compare to the death of Samson in Judges 16:30?
- God himself called David “a man after his own heart.” 1 Samuel 13:14. How do we reconcile God’s proclamation with the terrible sins committed by David?
New Testament
- What was the significance of the chief priests’ desire to kill Lazarus, who had been raised from the dead? John 12:9-11.
- Why was it that most of the people did not believe in Jesus, even though he had performed so many miracles right before them? John 12:37-43.
