1. Jesus paid with His life to give you this victory over your enemies. After His arrest in the garden of Gethsemane, the Jews and Gentiles were united for the first time with one common objective: Torture Jesus and have Him killed. King Herod of the Jews and Pontius Pilate of the Romans were long-time enemies, but because they shared the problem of what to do with Jesus, they became friends. (Luke 23:12). 1. “Are you the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked Jesus in Matthew 27:11a. What did Jesus answer in Matthew 27:11b?

2. But Herod was the first person to whom Jesus was ushered after His arrest. “At daybreak, the council of the elders of the people, both the chief priests and teachers of the law met together, and Jesus was led before them. “If You are the Christ,” they said, “tell us.” (Luke 23:66-67a). Jesus deflected that question by saying they wouldn’t believe Him. So, how does Jesus answer when they asked what in Luke 23:70?

3. When Pilate asked Jesus question #1, and Jesus said that He is the king of the Jews. Pilate found no crime Jesus committed that called for His death. What does Luke 23:15-16 say Pilate used to show there is agreement with his decision to not put Jesus to death?

4. These two powerful rulers found no cause to put Jesus to death. But, Pilate caved to public opinion, and released Jesus to be crucified. (Luke 23:18-25). Both men thought they had won, but Jesus rose from the dead! What did one centurion say after watching Jesus die, in Luke 23:47-48?

5. How does 1 Peter 5:9 urge Believers to respond to “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour”?
