Analysis of Lesson 90: Jesus Dies on Golgotha

Why did Pilate allow Jesus to be killed?

Pilate allowed Jesus to be killed because, although he saw that Jesus had done nothing wrong and wanted to release him, he yielded to the pressure of the crowd, who shouted, “Kill him! Kill him!” and “Nail him to the cross!” So ​​Pilate handed Jesus over to be executed.

Jesus cared more for others than for himself, how did he demonstrate this?

Jesus showed that he cared more for others than for himself by praying to Jehovah, saying: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” He also comforted one of the criminals beside him by saying: “You will be with me in Paradise.” Furthermore, he asked John to care for Mary as if she were his own mother.

What does this account teach us about Jehovah?

This account teaches us that Jehovah deeply loves mankind and was willing to allow his Son to suffer and die to give us the opportunity for eternal life. It also teaches us that Jehovah always fulfills his purpose and supports those who are faithful to him.

From Jesus’ example we learn to forgive others, even when they treat us badly, to care about the needs of others, and to remain faithful to Jehovah even in the midst of difficulties. We also see the importance of trusting in God’s promises, such as the hope of Paradise.

What practical lessons can we learn?

We learn to forgive others, even when they treat us badly, just as Jesus did when he asked Jehovah to forgive those who were executing him. Furthermore, we learn to care for others even in difficult times, such as when Jesus comforted the criminal and made sure that John took care of Mary.

We learn the importance of remaining faithful to Jehovah and trusting in his promises, even when we face opposition or suffering. We also see that we should not give in to pressure from others to do something wrong, as Pilate did.

Analysis of Lesson 91: The Resurrection of Jesus

What happened when the women went to Jesus' tomb?

When some women went to Jesus' tomb early one morning, they discovered that someone had rolled away the stone covering the entrance and that the tomb was open. Inside the tomb was an angel who told them not to be afraid, that Jesus had risen from the dead, and to tell the disciples to go to Galilee to meet him.

What happened on the road to Emmaus?

On the road to Emmaus, two disciples were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus when a man joined them and asked what they were talking about. They explained that three days earlier, the chief priests had Jesus killed, and now some women were saying that he was alive.

Then the man explained the Scriptures to them and showed them that Christ had to die and then be resurrected. Later, when they were having dinner in Emmaus and he prayed over the bread, the disciples realized it was Jesus, but then he disappeared.

What does this account teach us about Jehovah?

This account teaches us that Jehovah always keeps his promises. Just as prophesied, Jesus was resurrected, demonstrating Jehovah’s great power and love for mankind. We also see that Jehovah strengthened the disciples’ faith by allowing Jesus to appear to them after his resurrection.

What practical lessons can we learn?

We learn that we must trust in Jehovah’s promises even when we don’t fully understand what is happening. We also learn the importance of studying the Scriptures, since Jesus used them to strengthen and encourage his disciples.

This story teaches us to enthusiastically share the good news, just as Mary Magdalene and the disciples did when they learned that Jesus had risen from the dead.
