Easter- Day 4 Jesus Betrayed

Jesus was betrayed by Judas and denied by Peter. Both rejected Jesus in dome form. But their stories ended up differently. These passage will help you analyze the events but also help you look into the motivations and the outcomes. We all sin. One of the principles to take away is how we deal with sin.

( There are 2 optional activities. The second activity talks about Judas’ suicide. I do not recommend doing this with younger children. Parents, you be the judge of appropriate age levels for this topic.)

Option 1- Think through what it is like to be betrayed. Make a list of adjectives that would describe how you would feel.

Option 2- Compare the betrayal of Jesus by Judas and the denial of Jesus by Peter. What is different? What is the same? How did each feel afterwards? How did each end up afterwards? References for what happened afterwards:

Judas- Matthew 27: 1-10,

Peter- John 21: 15-17

Questions for Discussion:

How did Judas get to a place where he was willing to betray Jesus?

How can we make sure we stay faithful to Jesus?

What should we do when we sin towards another person? What should we do when we sin in general?
