Baking Directions
Use three separate baking sheets, one for each cookie recipe. Drop rounded teaspoon-size balls of dough about two
inches apart on the baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Bake until cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the center, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and
let cool on baking sheet 1–2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cut the cookies into halves or
quarters depending on the number of students in your class. Store cookies in three separate airtight containers. Label
each container with either Recipe 1, Recipe 2, or Recipe 3.

Debate Rules
2.4A
In order to allow an opportunity for all groups to present their case, it is important to follow these debate rules.
1. Students must be courteous throughout the debate. Debaters must address the moderator’s question only. They
should answer the question without introducing additional arguments.
2. Debaters must clearly voice their answer to their classmates who are acting as judges. They may not interrupt
another speaker at any time.
3. Judges must take notes about the various worldviews expressed. They should also note groups that gave the best
presentation of their group’s worldview.
4. Judges should use their student textbooks to validate any worldviews expressed. If the answer to a question is
incorrect on the basis of the student text, the judges should raise their hand to object.
5. Debaters should rotate speakers after each question so that all the debaters have a chance to speak.
6. Following the debate, judges should be allowed to confer with each another to determine the winner.

Debate Questions
2.4B
Directions: As a moderator, your job is to draw out discussion among the debaters. Ask each team each question. If
a participant answers with a vague answer or claims not to know or hold an opinion, ask some additional questions
for clarification. Suggested responses are given, but these are not the only possible ways debaters can respond. They
are not the only possible answers.
1. What is your view on the origin of the universe?
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam should claim an almighty God created it; naturalism should state that it always
existed; new spirituality should claim that it always existed and that the universe and everything is god.
2. Is God a Person?
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam should say that God is a Person; naturalism should deny the existence of
God; new spirituality should say that everything is god and god is everything, and may also say that all
persons are god.
3. Is God triune (three in one)?
Judaism and Islam should say that he is not three in one; Christianity should say that he is Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit; naturalism should deny the existence of God; new spirituality should say that everything is god.
4. Does God reveal himself to human beings? If so, how?
Judaism should say that he reveals himself through nature and through the Hebrew Scriptures, especially the
Torah, Christianity should say that he speaks through nature, Jesus Christ, and through the Old and New
Testaments; Islam should say that he speaks through some books of the Old and New Testaments as well as
through the words of Muhammad in the Quran. Naturalism should deny God’s existence; new spirituality
should claim that god is in everything, but there is no one book that God specifically speaks through.
5. Is there a spiritual world or spirits?
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam should say that there is; naturalism should say that there is nothing beyond our
five senses; new spirituality should say that there is a spiritual world and that the physical world is part of it.
6. How does science relate to a faith in God?
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam should say that science helps us learn about God’s world and that it does not
disprove the existence of God; naturalism should say that science proves that there is no God; new spirituality
should say that science is God and God is science.
7. Why do you believe that your worldview is right?
Judaism should say that the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament books) prove that they are correct; Christians
should say that the Person of Jesus Christ and the Bible prove their worldview is correct; Islam should say they
are correct because of God’s word to Muhammad; naturalists should claim that science proves their worldview
to be correct; new spiritualists should claim that their worldview is correct because of their personal feelings and
personal revelation, gained through meditation and other techniques that they believe put them in touch with the
divine oneness of all things.

Ask these questions to specific worldview groups:
8. Islam, what do you think about the validity of the Old and New Testaments?
We only accept the Torah, Psalms, and Gospels as truth. But even then we think that both Christians and Jews
have changed these parts of God’s Word.
9. Naturalism, why don’t you believe in spirits?
Spirits cannot be scientifically proven to exist. They have no physical presence, so they aren’t real.
10. Christianity, why do you believe that God is three in one?
Because God’s Word in both the Old and New Testaments tells us that God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit are one God. Jesus said that whoever has seen him has seen the Father. All three Persons of the
Godhead were present at Jesus’ baptism.
11. New spirituality, if god is everything and everything is god, could a rock be god?
Yes. Everything is god and part of the god force.

17. Explain how Christianity differs from new spirituality. Answers will vary but should include that Christians
are monotheistic and believe that God is separate and sovereign over his creation; new spiritualism teaches that
god is in creation and that all things are god. Christians base their faith on the Bible; new spiritualists often
use astrology or ancient writings of philosophers or magicians to guide their faith. Christians believe in one
God in three Persons; new spiritualism’s followers believe that god is a force. Christians believe salvation and
reconciliation with God come through faith in Jesus Christ; new spiritualism’s followers believe that the world
will be in harmony when everyone believes as they do.

Narrator: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Then God said:
God: Let there be light!
Narrator: And there was light.
Stagehand: Turn classroom lights off and on.
Narrator: Then God said:
God: Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.
Stagehand: Pour water from one glass to another to make the sound of water.
Narrator: God called the space . . .
God: Sky!
Narrator: Then God said:
God: Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.
Stagehand: Pick up a handful of sand and let it run through your fingers.
Narrator: And that is what happened. Then God said:
God: Let the land sprout with vegetation—every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit.
These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.
Stagehand: Display plant.
Narrator: And that is what happened. Then God said:
God: Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. Let them be signs to mark the seasons, days,
and years.
Stagehand: Turn lights off and on several times; point to classroom calendar and clock.
Narrator: Then God said:
God: Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.
Stagehand: Pretend to swim. Pretend to fly.

God: Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—livestock, small
animals that scurry along the ground, and wild animals.
Stagehand: Make noises of three or four kinds of animals.
Narrator: And that is what happened. Then God said:
God: Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.
Stagehand: Use hand mirror to admire your own image.
Poet: [Twirl.] Yet you [Point to God.] made them [Point to Stagehand and then toward classmates.] only a little
lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. You [Point to God.] gave them [Point to Stagehand
and then toward classmates] charge of everything you made, [Point to God.] putting all things under their
authority— [Swing your arm outward.] the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals, the birds in the sky,
the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents.
Narrator: Then God looked over all he had made, [Swing your arm outward.] and he saw that it was very good! And
evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day.
Stagehand: Turn lights off and on six times. Hold up fingers after each time to count number of times.
Narrator: For in six days, the Lord made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and everything in them.
Poet: [Twirl.] For through Jesus, [Point to heaven.] God [Point to God.] created everything in the heavenly realms
and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers,
and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. [Swing arm outward.]
He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. The Son [Point to heaven.] radiates God’s
own glory and expresses the very character of God [Point to God.], and he sustains everything by the mighty
power of his command. [Swing your arm outward.]

Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.
Stagehand: Cradle dolls in your arms.
Poet: [Twirl.] God’s purpose was that we . . . would bring praise and glory to God.
God: I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.
[Extend arms wide, then bring them close to your body as if hugging someone.]
Section B
Narrator: So God created human beings in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female
he created them. Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame.
Stagehand: Hold up male doll and female doll.
Poet: [Twirl.] God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. [Bow before God.]

Narrator: He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person.
Stagehand: Wave fan over the face of the male doll. Have him stand up and walk around.
Narrator: Then the Lord God said:
God: It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.

Narrator: While the man slept, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the opening. Then the
Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man.
Stagehand: Bring female doll by the “sleeping” male doll. Have male doll wake, stand, and see the female doll.
Narrator: “At last!” the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called
‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’”
Poet: [Twirl.] This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united
into one.

Stagehand: Display plant.
Narrator: And there he placed the man whom he had made.

Adam: I heard you in the garden, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked.

your brow will you have food to eat…
Adam: Pick up cloth and pretend to wipe sweat from your brow. Drop the cloth.
God: Until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you
shall return.
Adam and Eve: Sink to the ground and lie as if dead.
Prophet: [Pick up the cloth. Wave it over the plant. Wave it over Adam and Eve.] Against its will, all creation was
subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join
God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. [Wad up the cloth and toss it away.]

Poet: [Twirl.] A world filled with God’s righteousness!
Prophet: Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. [Pick up cloths, shake them in disgust, put them
down.] But with eager hope, the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in
glorious freedom [Open arms wide.] from death [Pick up one cloth.] and decay [Pick up the other cloth. Hold
up cloths and put them in the wastebasket. Bow before Jesus.]
Poet: [Twirl.] For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, [Point to Jesus.] and through him God
reconciled everything to himself. [Open arms wide.] He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by
means of Christ’s blood of the cross. [Bow before Jesus.]

Biblical Truths 5–8
4.2A
Discuss each scenario in your group. Decide which Biblical Truth would best contradict the statements.
1. Tai: I don’t believe that God created people for any particular reason. Honestly, I think we were the result of a
cosmic accident that created strands of DNA which developed into life forms. No one on Earth has any purpose
at all. I just try to be a good person and to do what I think is right.
What Biblical Truth would contradict Tai’s worldview?
2. Janelle: Lots of people talk about sin, but really, there is no such thing as sin. If you do something that you think
is wrong, then you should stop doing it. For me, sin is just making a mistake that I can choose to correct. It’s not
a big deal; I never feel guilty.
What Biblical Truth would contradict Janelle’s worldview?
3. Pedro: I have heard of Jesus Christ. He was just a good person, right? I mean, the Romans were pretty tough on
rebels back then. I’m sad that he was crucified, but his death wasn’t any different from the deaths of countless
other innocent people. Historically, it’s really unimportant. I guess it’s good that we don’t use cruel forms of
capital punishment today.
What Biblical Truth would contradict Pedro’s worldview?
4. Samantha: I’ve just scored well on the math test. It’s my favorite subject. I plan to become an engineer or an
architect. I’ll make lots of money. Everything I’ve achieved I’ve done on my own without God’s help. I don’t
need anyone’s assistance; I’m in total control of my life.

Stewardship Truths and Lies
4.5A
Read each statement with your group members and determine whether it is true or untrue. Write true or false on
the lines provided along with the number of the Biblical Truth that proves your answer.
1.
The earth’s beginning was a random, accidental act. The earth stays in
orbit only through the natural laws of physics. There is no God controlling the earth.
2.
Pollution, deforestation, oil spills, and exploitation of minerals through
strip mining prove that the selfishness of sinful people causes disharmony on the earth.
3.
The earth as it is can be perfected through human efforts alone. If we
make advances in medicine to cure all diseases, and choose solar power and nonpolluting, renewable resources, we
can eventually achieve a new earth, free from the effects of sin and decay.
4.
People and animal life should share equally in the dominion over the
earth. Animals should never be denied a place to live, even if they are harmful to human habitats. People should
not use animals for food since this reduces animals’ role as our equal partners in stewarding the earth.
5.
The earth exists in order only because it has an almighty Creator who
sustains its continued existence, its seasons, and its place in the solar system.
6.
God will create a new earth where Christians will live eternally with him.
7.
People have the mandate to rule over the earth, caring for earth’s animals,
plants, and other natural resources in a responsible way.
8.
Sin has no bearing on the condition of the earth. People can do whatever
they want with the earth’s resources. If pollution occurs, it’s simply a result of industrial progress.

The Wilderness 13.5A
Narrator: God led the Hebrews away from Mount Sinai toward the Promised Land of Canaan. When they traveled
during the day, he led them by a cloud. When they traveled at night, he led them by a fire in the sky. When they
were close to Canaan, God spoke to Moses.
God: Send out men to explore the land of Canaan, the land I am giving to the Israelites.
Moses: Pretend to gather the spies and send them out.
Narrator: At the end of 40 days they returned from spying out the land.
Moses and Aaron: Stand together to receive the spies’ report.
Spy 1: We entered the land you sent us to explore, and it is indeed a bountiful country—a land flowing with milk
and honey. Here is the kind of fruit it produces. [Display fruit.]
Spy 2: But the people living there are powerful. [Pretend to flex arm muscles.]
Spy 3: Their towns are large and fortified. [Gesture with arms to emphasize size.]
Caleb: Let’s go at once to take the land. [Grasp Joshua’s arm.] We can certainly conquer it!
Spy 1: We can’t go up against them!
Spy 2: They are stronger than we are!
Spies 1 and 3: The land we traveled through and explored will devour anyone who goes to live there. [Hold arms
out, then move one arm above the other to imitate jaws clamping down.]
Spy 2: All the people we saw were huge. [Hold hands above head.] We even saw giants there. [Pretend to stomp like a
giant.]
Spies 1 and 3: Next to them we felt like grasshoppers. [Crouch in fear.]
Spy 2: And that’s what they thought too! [Crouch in fear.]
Narrator: Then the whole community began weeping aloud, and they cried all night [Groan and pretend to weep.
Point at your classmates, urging them to imitate you.] Their voices rose in a great chorus of protest against Moses and
Aaron.
Moses and Aaron: Look stricken. Stagger one step backward each time the people speak.
Narrator: They complained: “If only we had died in Egypt, or even here in the wilderness!” [Point to your classmates.
Allow time for them to repeat their line.] “Would that we had died in this wilderness!” [Point to classmates; allow time
for them to repeat their line. Repeat with next two questions.] “Wouldn’t it be better for us to return to Egypt?” “Let’s
choose a new leader and go back to Egypt.”

God: [Angrily] How long must I put up with this wicked community [ point at the class] and its complaints?
Moses and Aaron: Stand straight to pay attention to what the Lord is saying.
God: Yes, I have heard the complaints the Israelites are making. [Point toward Moses and Aaron.] Now tell them
this: ‘As surely as I live, declares the Lord, I will do to you [ point toward class] the very things I heard you say. You
will all drop dead in this wilderness! You will not enter and occupy the land [shake arm in vigorous denial ] The
only exceptions will be Caleb . . . and Joshua. [Point toward Caleb and Joshua.] And your children shall pay for
your faithlessness. Because your men explored the land for 40 days [ point toward the spies], you must wander in the
wilderness for 40 years—a year for each day, suffering the consequences of your sins. Then you will discover what it
is like to have me for an enemy. [Frown and cross your arms.]

Moses Disobeys God 13.5B
Narrator: After living in the desert for 40 years, the older Hebrews who had left Egypt died. They died, just as God
had said, because they did not trust him to help them conquer Canaan. Now it was almost time for their children to
finally enter the Promised Land of Canaan. But this second generation of Hebrews also complained about their life
in the desert. They complained to Moses about not having good food to eat [Rub your stomach and pretend to bend
over in pain and hunger. Point at classmates to do the same.] and enough water to drink. [Hold hands around throat
and pretend to be parched. Point at classmates.]
Moses: Lift hands up. Pretend to pray silently.
God: [Stand before Moses and Aaron.] You and Aaron must take the staff and assemble the entire community. [Hand
staff to Moses.] As the people watch, speak to the rock over there [ point to the rock] and it will pour out its water. You
will provide enough water from the rock to satisfy the whole community [ point at classmates] and their livestock.
Moses and Aaron: Pretend to gather people before the rock.
Moses: Listen, you rebels! Must we bring you water from this rock?” [Lift staff and pretend to strike the rock twice.]
Aaron: Nod approvingly.
Narrator: Water gushed out. The people and their livestock drank their fill. [Pretend to drink. Point at classmates.]
God: [Pointing at Moses and Aaron] Because you did not trust me enough to demonstrate my holiness to the people
of Israel, you will not lead them into the land I am giving them! [Aaron walks offstage.]
Narrator: One day before Moses died, God spoke to him.
God: [Pointing toward distance] Go. Climb Mount Nebo. Look out across the land of Canaan, the land I am giving
to the people of Israel as their own special possession. [Pretend to scan horizon. Then cross your arms and look angry.]
You will die there on the mountain. You will join your ancestors, just as Aaron, your brother, died on Mount Hor
and joined his ancestors. Both of you betrayed me. You failed to demonstrate my holiness to the people of Israel.
Moses: Pretend to climb a mountain. At the top, pretend to look in the distance.
God: This is the land I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’
I have now allowed you to see it with your own eyes, but you will not enter the land.
Moses: Pretend to descend the mountain and subsequently die. Walk offstage.
Narrator: Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab. To this day no one knows the exact place.
The people of Israel mourned for Moses. [Pretend to weep. Point at classmates.] After 30 days, the mourning period
was over. [Pretend to wipe tears from your eyes. Point at classmates.] Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit
of wisdom [ point toward God], for Moses had laid his hands on him. So the people of Israel obeyed him, doing
just as the Lord had commanded Moses. There has never been another prophet in Israel like Moses [shake head in
sorrow], whom the Lord [ point toward God] knew face to face. [Hold palms up in front of body facing each other.]

The Hebrews Conquer Canaan 13.5C
Joshua: Lie on the ground as if sleeping.
God: [Speaking to Joshua] Moses my servant is dead. Therefore, the time has come for you to lead these people, the
Israelites, across the Jordan River into the land I am giving them.
Joshua: Get up and pretend to scan the horizon. As God continues speaking, act out gestures to indicate you are listening
and support what he says.
God: I promise you what I promised Moses: ‘Wherever you set foot, you will be on land I have given you.’ Be
strong and courageous . . . Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the instructions Moses gave you.
Joshua: Hold up stone tablets. Continue acting out support for God’s commands.
God: Do not deviate from [the instructions Moses gave you], turning either to the right or to the left. Then you
will be successful in everything you do. Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night
so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. This is
my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you
wherever you go. [Walk offstage.]
Officers: Assemble before Joshua.
Joshua: [Pretend to issue orders.] Go through the camp and tell the people to get their provisions ready. [Point at the
class.] In three days you will cross the Jordan River and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Officers: We will do whatever you command us, and we will go wherever you send us. We will obey you just as we
obeyed Moses. May the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses.
Narrator: For almost seven years, Joshua led the Israelites in conquering the land of Canaan. Just as he had
promised, God helped them defeat all their enemies. The Lord gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to
their fathers. They took possession of it and settled there.
Officers and Joshua: Sit down on stage.
Narrator: The Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their
enemies could stand against them, for the Lord helped them conquer all their enemies. Not a single one of all the
good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled. God kept his promise to Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob by making the Hebrews into his special nation, Israel. Many generations later, Jesus was born into
God’s special nation. As God promised, through Jesus all the families of the earth are blessed.

The Last Week 16.5A
The events of the Passion week occurred in Nisan, the first month of the Jewish calendar (approximately mid-March
to mid-April in the Gregorian calendar).
FRIDAY, 8 NISAN: On this Friday, one week before Jesus was crucified, he and his disciples arrived in the village
of Bethany, about two miles east of Jerusalem. Just before they arrived in Bethany, they traveled through Jericho
where Jesus met Zacchaeus. In Bethany, Jesus may have stayed at the home of Lazarus, whom he had recently raised
from death. A man known as Simon the Leper hosted a dinner in honor of Jesus in Bethany. At the dinner, Lazarus’
sister Mary anointed Jesus with expensive perfume, an act Jesus identified as his anointing for burial. Judas Iscariot
piously objected to Mary’s kindness and soon afterward met with the religious leaders who were planning Jesus’
murder.
The exact timing of Judas’ negotiation with the Jewish leaders to betray Jesus is not certain, but it may have been
shortly after Jesus rebuked him at Simon the Leper’s dinner. Luke records that Judas approached the chief priests
after Satan entered him. Judas arranged to betray Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, not even half the value of the perfume
Mary poured over Jesus. The time of Judas’ betrayal is certain—sometime after the Passover meal in the darkness of
night on Friday, 15 Nisan (March or April).
SUNDAY, 10 NISAN: On Sunday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the colt of a donkey in fulfillment of Zechariah’s
prophecy that foretold the day when the Messiah would enter Jerusalem in such a manner. The crowds knew this
prophecy, and when they greeted him with shouts of Hosanna along a road covered with their cloaks and palm
branches, they acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, Israel’s long-awaited King and Liberator. The crowd’s joyous
welcome was not an acknowledgement that Jesus was God the Son, who had come to liberate them from their
bondage to sin. Sadly, this crowd that welcomed Jesus so joyously would be the same crowd shouting “Crucify
him!” only five days later.
Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem on 10 Nisan corresponded with the day pilgrims to the city brought their lambs to
the priests for inspection. The pilgrims would slaughter the lambs on Thursday, 14 Nisan, in preparation for the
Passover feast on Friday, 15 Nisan. Later that Sunday Jesus returned to Bethany for the night.
Luke is the only gospel writer to mention that the Pharisees tried to quiet the praise of the crowd, while John is
the only gospel writer to record that even Jesus’ disciples did not fully understand, until after his resurrection, the
prophetic implications of what was happening in Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
As Jesus entered the city, he wept over it, a sign of his deep love for the people and his desire for their spiritual
salvation. But they would be held responsible for rejecting his offer to become a part of his kingdom. For their
rejection, God would judge them by blinding them and subjecting them to total destruction (Luke 19:42–44).
This prophetic announcement was fulfilled in ad 70 when after a four-year Jewish revolution for independence,
the Romans completely destroyed Jerusalem by burning the city and killing more than 600,000 of its citizens.
THURSDAY, 14 NISAN—FRIDAY, 15 NISAN: Preparation for the Feast of the Passover occurred on Thursday
afternoon, 14 Nisan. The actual meal began at sundown (about 6:00) Thursday evening, by Jewish time the
beginning of Friday, 15 Nisan. This one-day feast was coupled with the Feast of Unleavened Bread and continued
for one week. Over time, the combined feasts were referred to simply as the Passover (Luke 22:1).

16.5A continued
Preparations would have included securing and preparing the Passover lamb, unleavened bread, a bitter dipping
sauce commemorating the suffering in Egypt, a fruit and nut mixture commemorating the mortar used for
construction in Egypt, and wine. Peter and John needed to prepare the table (Luke 22:8). Foods were placed in
common bowls and passed to each guest. People dipped their hands into the bowl, removed their portion, and then
dipped the food in other bowls containing the bitter herbs and fruit sauces. Each person was required to drink four
cups of red wine (usually diluted three parts water to one-part wine). It is not known which of the cups Jesus gave
his disciples when he instituted the Lord’s Supper.
John’s gospel recounts that while the Passover meal was being served, Jesus demonstrated the nature of the ministry
his disciples were to carry out after he returned to the Father. He did this by humbly washing his disciples’ feet,
knowing all the while that Judas would betray him, Peter would deny him, and all the disciples would desert him at
his arrest in a few hours.
After identifying Judas as his betrayer, Jesus transformed his last Passover meal to institute the Lord’s Supper. In this
unique event, Jesus demonstrated the link between the old and the new covenants. Jesus himself was the Passover
Lamb whose body would be broken and whose blood would be shed for the forgiveness of sins. All previous
Passover Feasts had pointed to Jesus and his passion. In declaring that the cup of wine represented the blood of the
covenant, Jesus typified the representative blood of the covenant that Moses sprinkled on the people in confirming
God’s covenant with Israel (Exodus 24:8). Jesus’ death, symbolized by his blood, is the means by which people are
restored in fellowship with God and their sins are forgiven. Luke records that Jesus declared the cup of his blood the
“new covenant” (Luke 22:20), which is the consummation of God’s covenants with his people. This covenant was
ratified by the shed blood of Jesus.
This Passover meal is called the Last Supper because of Jesus’ statement that he would not eat it again with his
disciples until they were together again in his Father’s kingdom. This promise assured his disciples (as it assures us
today) that the fullness of God’s kingdom will come. Christ will return. Death will be conquered. And the promised
new heavens and earth will become reality.
Jesus and the disciples sang a hymn before they left the upper room. It may have included some or all of Psalms
115–118, which were traditionally sung as part of the Passover meal. Jesus then led his disciples out of the city
to the Mount of Olives. There he predicted that they would desert him in fulfillment of Zechariah’s prophecy
(Zechariah 13:7) that God the Father would “strike down the shepherd,” causing the sheep to scatter.
FRIDAY,15 NISAN: From the Mount of Olives, Jesus led his disciples to the Garden of Gethsemane, also located
just outside Jerusalem. Interestingly, as Luke the physician records, the pressure of Jesus’ agony in the garden was
so great that his sweat fell like drops of blood. Under the pressure of great stress, small blood vessels around sweat
glands constrict, later dilate, and then rupture. Blood flowing into the sweat gland mixes with sweat and surfaces
through the pores of the skin.
The agony Jesus experienced stemmed not only from knowing the physical pain he would suffer, but even more so
from knowing he would be completely separated from his Father and would bear all his wrath for the sins of the
world. When Jesus prayed for the cup to be removed (if it were his Father’s will), he clearly revealed his humanity.
No human being would want to experience the physical agony of the most painful death ever devised. Yet as
horrible as the physical pain would be, his desire not to be forsaken by his Father no doubt led him three times to
make the same request. Nevertheless, Jesus was determined to follow the will of his Father. The tragedy and grief of

Jesus’ agony was only compounded when on three occasions he found his disciples sleeping, unable to keep watch
as he had instructed. Jesus knew he would literally bear the cross alone—separated from his Father and without any
support from the 12 men who had been his closest companions for three years.
In the darkness of the morning, 15 Nisan, Judas arrived, leading the crowd of temple guards, chief priests, and
elders (Luke 22:52). With a kiss, the common form of greeting denoting friendship, Judas intensified the satanic
cruelty of his betrayal. When Peter tried to abort the arrest with his sword ( John 18:10), he revealed that neither
he nor any of the other disciples yet understood the nature of God’s new kingdom. It was a spiritual kingdom,
not a physical one ruled by the sword. As Jesus was led away, he made it clear that the events of the evening were
occurring exactly as the prophets had foretold. He knew the Father’s will, and he knew that it had to be fulfilled.
Although John and Peter secretly followed the crowd at a distance, Luke records that while Jesus stood trial before
the Jewish leaders in the high priest’s house, he heard from the adjacent courtyard Peter’s vitriolic denial that he had
ever known Jesus. Perhaps of all the disciples’ failures, Peter’s denial was the most painful because of his earlier firm
confession, “Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16). It was also
Peter who adamantly declared, “Even if everyone else deserts you, I will never desert you.” (Matthew 26:33).
By sunrise, Jesus stood alone again, this time on trial before the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate. Outside the
governor’s hall stood what may have been the same crowd who on the previous Sunday had welcomed their
Messiah with shouts of “Hosanna!” However, persuaded by the chief priests and elders, they became an unruly mob
demanding Jesus’ death. Thus, the masses who earlier had supported him also deserted him.
The mockery that the soldiers heaped upon Jesus may have been less hurtful than his disciples’ abandonment since
they were Romans, who had never accepted him. However, this is mere speculation. Scripture makes clear though
that the deepest pain Jesus endured came during those hours on the cross when God his Father completely forsook
him. God was not just hiding behind the scenes while encouraging his Son to endure; he was completely absent.
Crucifixion originated in Persia and was later adapted by the Romans. It was such a shameful and cruel form of
execution that it was illegal for the execution of Roman citizens. It was used primarily for slaves and insurrectionists.
Before they were executed, condemned prisoners were forced to carry their cross, or at least the cross beam weighing
30– 40 pounds, over the longest route to the place of crucifixion. This exposed them to public humiliation and
served as a deterrent for would-be criminals.
Just before the soldiers crucified Jesus, they offered him wine mixed with gall or bitter herbs. Mark reports they
offered Jesus wine mixed with myrrh, a primitive kind of pain killer and also an expensive spice used as a cosmetic
ointment. The Magi brought Jesus a gift of myrrh when he was an infant. After Jesus’ death, Nicodemus and Joseph
of Arimathea anointed his body for burial with myrrh. Jesus refused the sedative, choosing instead to endure the full
extent of the physical suffering he had come to earth to bear.
Mark records that Jesus was crucified at 9 o’clock Friday morning, just 15 hours after he began celebrating the
Passover with his disciples the night before. While some people were crucified by being tied to their crosses with
ropes, many were nailed to their crosses with 7-inch metal spikes driven through the wrists or hands and the heels.
The victim’s weight was supported largely by the legs, making it difficult to exhale and impossible to take a full
breath. To breathe, victims had to push up on their feet to inflate their lungs. Death was usually slow and was

accompanied by excruciating pain and thirst. Because no internal organs were directly damaged, victims could
survive for days until fatigue and pain made it impossible for them to push up on their feet and lift their head in
order to breathe. Thus, suffocation was the usual cause of death. In addition to the physical torture, victims were
humiliated by being hung naked, unable to move, and in full view of public mockers.
Usually four soldiers attended to a crucifixion. Roman law permitted them to divide up the condemned man’s
clothing as payment for their work. John reports in his gospel that the soldiers attending Jesus’ crucifixion divided
four shares of his clothing equally. These four pieces would have included Jesus’ sandals, belt, head covering, and
outer cloak. What remained was the inner tunic worn against the skin. Because it was a woven, seamless garment,
the soldiers decided to cast lots for it. In doing so, they fulfilled the prophecy of Psalm 22:18, “They divide my
garments among themselves and cast lots (throw dice) for my clothing.” John includes the detail about the seamless
tunic for a purpose. Under the old covenant, the tunic of the high priest had to be woven of linen and seamless.
This was a sign of purity. Jesus, of course, is our High Priest, the holy and almighty Bridge to God the Father. With
neither his cloak nor tunic to cover him, Jesus bore the ultimate public humiliation by hanging completely naked
before his mockers.
Jesus died at 3 o’clock Friday afternoon after enduring six hours of public humiliation and pain. At that moment
three miracles occurred—an earthquake shook the land, dead people came to life from their tombs, and the temple
curtain was torn from top to bottom. The curtain separated the Most Holy Place from the Holy Place, symbolizing
the fact that people’s sins separated them from God. Jesus’ sacrifice as the Passover Lamb removed the spiritual
barrier that separated sinful people from a holy God. The tearing of the curtain from top to bottom signified that
only God had done the work. The rising of dead people signified that death could no longer separate people from
their God. These resurrections were a pre-fulfillment of Daniel 12:2, a prophecy about the resurrection of the dead
in the final judgment. They, like Lazarus, however, would die again and await their eternal resurrection at the return
of Christ.
John records in his gospel Jesus’ last words, “It is finished” ( John 19:30), which literally means paid in full,
a reference to Jesus completing his task of paying the full price for the redemption and restoration of all four
relationships of creation that were broken by the fall.
Ironically, the Jews who had joined forces with the Romans and conducted a corrupt trial in order to have Jesus
crucified were adamant about maintaining the ceremonial law regarding the dead and the Sabbath. Jewish law
required that no dead body be exposed overnight (Deuteronomy 21:23). It also forbade any work after sunset on
Friday, the beginning of the Sabbath. To comply with these laws, the Jews asked Pilate to have Jesus’ legs broken
to hasten his death by early Friday afternoon. In this way, they would be able to bury him before sunset when the
Sabbath began. The request was unnecessary, however, because in fulfillment of the prophecy that none of Jesus’
bones would be broken (Psalms 34:20) and in fulfillment of the law that no bone of the Passover lamb was to be
broken (Exodus 12:46), Jesus had died by the time the soldiers arrived. Therefore, there was no need to break his
legs.
So there could be no question that Jesus was dead, John records in his gospel that one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’
side with a spear, resulting in a flow of blood and water. The fact that both blood and water flowed out of the
wound confirms that the spear ruptured the sac around Jesus’ heart as well as the heart itself. This detail is essential
evidence against those who propose that Jesus merely fainted. This also fulfilled Zechariah’s prophecy that “They
will look on me, whom they have pierced” (Zechariah 12:10).

The Romans usually left crucified victims on the cross after death to be eaten by carrion. However, in accordance
with Jewish law requiring that no dead body be left to exposure after nightfall and that no burial work be done on
the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea requested Jesus’ body immediately after his death and made rapid preparations for
burial before sunset, the beginning of the Sabbath. Joseph and Nicodemus, who helped him, would have needed to
purchase burial cloth and spices, prepare the tomb, and complete the burial of Jesus before sunset
Both Joseph and Nicodemus were secret followers of Jesus. Joseph was a member of the Sanhedrin, but must not
have been present when the vote to execute Jesus was taken because Mark records that the vote was unanimous.
Because Joseph was a wealthy man, the tomb in which Jesus was buried was probably his family burial site. Such
tombs were carved out of limestone caves common in the region. The tombs usually had an ornately painted
vestibule from which a passage led to individual crypts cut into the rock. Each individual crypt had a large rolling
stone to seal it. Matthew and Mark record that a large stone was rolled in front of the entrance to the tomb, which
would have sealed the entrance to the vestibule as well.
Jesus’ body was covered with myrrh and aloes and then wrapped with strips of linen. A linen cloth or shroud was
then placed over the entire body. Mary Magdalene and other faithful women who were present at the crucifixion
accompanied Joseph and Nicodemus to the tomb. According to Luke, the women then went home to prepare more
spices and perfumes to further anoint Jesus’ body after the Sabbath.
Matthew reports that Pilate had the tomb sealed and guarded after the Jews convinced him that Jesus’ body might
be stolen in an attempt to make it look as if he had been resurrected. Roman seals were made of wet clay and
stamped with an official Roman insignia. Breaking such a seal was punishable by death.

19.2A Obeying God or Human Authority? Answers
Work with a partner to share your ideas about whether each potential law violates God’s law. If it violates God’s
law, state why the law would be wrong. (Remember: These are not actual proposed laws; they are examples only.)
1. A proposed law would make it mandatory to recycle beverage cans and bottles. Would this law violate God’s law?
If so, why?
This would not violate God’s law.
2. A new law would make it illegal to attend church. Would this law violate God’s law? If so, why?
This would violate God’s law. God calls upon us to worship him (Luke 4:8) and to meet together (Hebrews 10:25).
3. A proposed law would ban Bible reading and worship at any time or in any place, including the church. Would
this law violate God’s law? If so, why?
This would violate God’s law. We are to read and study the Bible (Colossians 3:16).
4. A new law would make it illegal to share the gospel with people of another faith. Would this law violate God’s
law? If so, why?
This would violate God’s law. Jesus gave us the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19–20).
5. A proposed law would make it illegal to print, own, or distribute Bibles, or Christian books or pamphlets. Would
this law violate God’s law? If so, why?
This would violate God’s law because we are to teach our children God’s commands both by word of mouth and
in written form (Deuteronomy 6:4–9).
6. Some people want to make a law against hanging Christmas lights. Would this law violate God’s law? If so, why?
This does not violate God’s law. Although we enjoy celebrating the birth of the Savior, there are many ways to
honor him.
7. A possible law would make it illegal to teach God’s Word in Christian schools and colleges. Would this law
violate God’s law? If so, why?
This would violate God’s law because we are to teach both children and adults God’s commands (Deuteronomy
6:4–9, Proverbs 22:6, 1 Timothy 4:13).

Christian Martyrs 20.2A
Stephen was not the only martyr. Other Christians have been tortured or martyred because of their faith. The stories
below represent only a small number of Christians who have suffered for Christ.
James, the brother of John and son of Zebedee
King Herod, trying to stamp out Christianity, had James put to death by the sword (Acts 12:1–2).
Jan Hus, a Czech priest
Jan or John Hus was burned at the stake in 1415 for heresy against the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church,
particularly those on Holy Communion. Moments before his death, the imperial marshal asked Hus one final time
to recant and save his life. Hus responded, “God is my witness that . . . the principal intention of my preaching . . .
and all my other acts or writings are solely that I might turn people from sin. And in that truth of the gospel that I
wrote, taught, and preached in accordance with the sayings and expositions of the holy doctors, I am willingly glad
to die today.” The executioner then started the fire that killed Hus.
William Tyndale, an Englishman
Most known for his translation of the Bible into English, William Tyndale was a reformer who stood against many
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and opposed King Henry VIII’s divorce, which was one of the major
issues in the Reformation in England. Tyndale’s English translation of the Bible was the first to draw significantly
from the original languages. In 1536, Tyndale was choked to death while tied to the stake and then his dead body
was burned.
Narcissa Prentiss Whitman, an American
Narcissa was a missionary to the Oregon Territory in the early 1800s. She wanted to bring the gospel message to
the native Cayuse and Nez Perce tribes in what is now Walla Walla, Washington. She and her husband, Marcus,
traveled to a fort in the territory and began to minister to the spiritual and medical needs of the native peoples.
They spent 11 years in ministry before being martyred by the chieftain Tiloukaikt and his men. The native people
believed the missionaries were responsible for an outbreak of measles among their fellow tribesmen.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German
Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer was executed on June 9, 1945. He was executed because of his involvement in the July
20 plot to kill Adolf Hitler, the evil dictator who imprisoned and killed thousands of people. Bonhoeffer staunchly
opposed Hitler’s treatment of the Jews and others. As a Christian pastor, he could not sit idly by and watch the
murder of so many innocent Jewish men and women. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was hanged just two weeks before
soldiers from the United States liberated the concentration camp in which he was held.
Jim Elliot, an American
Jim Elliot, along with four of his missionary colleagues, was killed on January 8, 1956, while trying to establish
contact with the Auca Indians in Ecuador (now known as the Waorani people). Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Ed McCully,
Pete Fleming and Roger Youderian had been working to make friendly contact with the Auca tribe, which they
had seen from their small airplane. Though they had only met one tribesman face-to-face, they had participated in
trades with the Auca from a plane-to-ground system. When Elliot and his friends landed on a river beach, they were
slaughtered by the waiting tribesmen. Later, the Waorani people were reached for the Lord, and many are Christians
today.

Solve the Problem 24.1B
With your group members, read each problem and agree on a possible solution. Remember, Christians do
occasionally disagree, but problems should always be solved graciously and respectfully.
1. Sonya teaches a sixth-grade Sunday school class. She likes to keep her class quiet so the students can read and
discuss the Scriptures. Next door, Doug teaches a group of very noisy kindergarteners who like to sing loudly and
play active games. The noise from the younger children often disrupts Sonya’s quiet classroom. However, Doug
doesn’t think his students are that loud. How can this problem be solved?
2. The church council of Faith Christian Church has a limited budget. After paying the utilities bill and church
workers’ salaries, there is very little money left. Some council members want the leftover money to go to
missionaries; other council members want to save the money for a building campaign. How can this problem be
solved?
3. The choir of Lakewood Community Church has a new director, Mrs. Barnes. Choir members are used
to singing hymns, but Mrs. Barnes prefers contemporary worship songs. Some choir members disagree
with the new director and don’t want to sing newer pieces of music. How can this problem be solved?
4. Christ Church needs more room for its growing congregation. Some people want to build a two-story parking
structure, but others say people won’t have any place to park during construction, and they may stop attending
church. How can this problem be solved?

play active games. The noise from the younger children often disrupts Sonya’s quiet classroom. However, Doug
doesn’t think his students are that loud. How can this problem be solved? Possible answers: Have one of the two
classes switch classrooms with another class that doesn’t mind the noise; have the teachers discuss their problems
with a church elder to find a compromise.
2. The church council of Faith Christian Church has a limited budget. After paying the utilities bill and church
workers’ salaries, there is very little money left. Some council members want the leftover money to go to
missionaries; other council members want to save the money for a building campaign. How can this problem be
solved? Possible answers: Set aside a portion of the money for building development and give the rest to missions;
have a congregation-wide appeal to support either missions or the building fund.
3. The choir of Lakewood Community Church has a new director, Mrs. Barnes. Choir members are used to singing
hymns, but Mrs. Barnes prefers contemporary worship songs. Some choir members disagree with the new director
and don’t want to sing newer pieces of music. How can this problem be solved? Possible answers: Have Mrs.
Barnes choose a variety of songs, perhaps praise songs that use words from hymns; hold a meeting with all the
choir members to select songs for the year that reflect a balance between hymns and praise songs.
4. Christ Church needs more room for its growing congregation. Some people want to build a two-story parking
structure, but others say people won’t have any place to park during construction, and they may stop attending

Paul and Silas Are Arrested 24.2A
Scene 1—Downtown Philippi
Noisy Crowd: Boo! Arrest them! Jail those troublemakers!
Newscaster: I’m on the scene here in downtown Philippi where two strangers have just cast a demon out of a slave
girl. Of course, her owners were not happy with this event. The crowd is calling for the arrest of the strangers. [to the
girl’s slave owner] Excuse me, can you give us more information about what happened this afternoon?
Slave Owner: Yes, I can. These two men, Paul and Silas by name, have been following us around for days. Then,
without a reason, they managed to cast a harmless demon out of my slave girl. Now she can’t tell fortunes and she’s
worthless to me!
Newscaster: I see. So, they stole your livelihood, right?
Slave Owner: They did! Here come the guards. That will set things right.
Newscaster: The guards have arrested the two strangers. We move now to the local jail here in Philippi.
Don’t change the channel; our eyewitness account of the arrest and imprisonment of these two men continues
momentarily.
Scene 2—Local Philippian Jail
Jailer: [to newscaster] I have punished these two by having them beaten with rods. What more do you want to
know? It seems as if your story is finished.
Newscaster: I would like to know firsthand how these men were able to cast out a demon. I’ve never heard of
anyone being able to rid people of demons. Mind if I question them?
Jailer: Be my guest.
Newscaster: Paul, right? People say that you cast out the demon in the name of some new god, Jesus Christ, right?
Paul: You have some information wrong. First of all, there is only one God of heaven and Earth. He sent his Son,
Jesus Christ, to die to pay the penalty for all the sins of the world. Then, on the third day after his death, God the
Father raised him to life again.
Newscaster: This is rather difficult to believe. Uh, Silas, what is your view of this so-called God, Jesus Christ?
Silas: Jesus Christ is God the Son. His death and resurrection free us all from the penalty of sin, eternal separation
from God.
Newscaster: How do you handle the charge that the slave’s owners cannot make money from her fortune-telling
ability?
Paul: A demon no longer controls the girl. She is free to choose to love and serve the one true God.

Newscaster: But what about the lost money? Shouldn’t you be made to . . .
Jailer: [interrupts] Enough questions! These men are going in the stocks for the night.
Newscaster: Our coverage of the two strangers who cast out demons continues. Tune in tomorrow morning for an
update.
Scene 3—The next morning, outside the jail in Philippi
Newscaster: [to jailer] Wow! What an earthquake we had last night! Any news about the strangers you’ve got in the
stocks?
Jailer: The earthquake shook the jail. The prisoners’ chains fell off and the cell doors opened.
Newscaster: So, they’ve all escaped? Where do you think Paul and Silas are now? Hopefully, they’ve already left the
city.
Jailer: They are at my home.
Newscaster: What? At your home? Are you crazy? Letting escaped prisoners into your house?
Jailer: They did not escape. In fact, they kept the other prisoners from escaping. And they told me how I could be
set free from my sins.
Newscaster: And how were you set free from your sins?
Jailer: Paul told me to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and I would be saved. I am saved! More than that, my whole
family has been saved! Praise to God!
Newscaster: This is certainly an amazing story. You heard it here at Philippian News First; a jailer has been freed by
his prisoners! Now back to other events in our news.

Mock Trial 27.2A
Directions: To gain a better understanding of how a trial is held, you will participate in a mock trial. Your teacher
will assign you a role. Read the roles and their descriptions below, paying careful attention to the Mock Trial
Procedure.
Judge: This is the person who keeps order in the courtroom and keeps the trial running
smoothly. He or she may instruct the jury members on what their job is. The judge can call
for order if the proceedings are getting out of hand.
Defendant: This is the person who is accused of wrongdoing.
Defense attorney: This is the person who speaks for the defendant.
Prosecutor: This person provides evidence that the defendant is guilty of a crime.
Witnesses: These people state what they have seen or heard relative to the charge. Witnesses
can be for the defendant or for the prosecution.
Jury: These people decide the guilt or innocence of the defendant.
Mock Trial Procedure:
1. Set up a desk and chair for the judge. Next to the judge’s desk, set up a chair as the witness stand. Have the
defendant sit next to the defense attorney; the prosecutor should sit some distance from the defense attorney and
defendant. If possible, seat the jury members close together. The seven witnesses should remain in their class seats.
2. The defendant and defense attorney will meet for five minutes to plan a strategy for how they will defend against
the charge. The defendant will be the Big Bad Wolf. Mr. Wolf is charged with blowing down stick and straw
houses and with attempting to blow down a brick home. Mr. Wolf’s defense attorney will need to prove that the
defendant was not guilty (and is therefore innocent) of the crimes. They should jot down a few ideas to present to
the jury.
3. The witnesses are: the Three Little Pigs (the victims), the Three Blind Mice, and Humpty Dumpty, a friend
of Mr. Wolf. They will meet for five minutes to discuss their testimony. They should write down a few notes,
such as what they saw or heard. Since the Three Blind Mice saw nothing, they should be prepared to have their
testimony questioned. Humpty Dumpty is a witness for the defense who should testify that Mr. Wolf is a good
citizen who would never blow down houses.
4. The prosecutor will meet with the victims, the Three Little Pigs, for five minutes to review their testimony.
5. The jury should review the charge of destruction of property and jot down some questions they would like to
have answered during the course of the trial.

PG 1
6. The judge should start the trial by stating the charge (destruction and attempted destruction of property) and ask
the defendant how he pleads, either guilty or not guilty. Then the prosecutor can explain to the jury why the
defendant is guilty. He or she should call all the witnesses to testify to the crime.
7. The defense attorney should tell the jury why the defendant is not guilty, and he or she should argue against
the prosecution witnesses’ testimony. He or she should call Humpty Dumpty to the stand as a witness for the
defense.
8. After both sides have called witnesses, questioned them, and made statements to the jury, the jury should decide
if the defendant is guilty of the crime. This statement of guilt or innocence is called the verdict. They can do this
by taking a simple majority vote. One jury member should tell the class the verdict.
