Series 5. Crucifixion and Resurrection (Luke 21:37-24:53)

by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson

Free E-mail Bible Study Jesus' Parables for Disciples

19 Lessons (Lessons 94-112)

James J. Tissot, detail of 'The Pardon of the Good Thief' Now we look deeply into the Passion of our Lord Jesus -- his betrayal, the Last Supper, his prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, Peter's denial, Jesus' trials and crucifixion, and the thief on the cross. This section concludes with joy -- Jesus' glorious resurrection, appearances to his disciples, his Great Commission, and his ascension. Overall, it examines the core of the gospel message:

"That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures." (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)

If you're not already studying Discipleship Training in Luke's Gospel to deepen your life as a disciple, this would be a great series to study during the six-week season of Lent, studying 3 lessons per week of the 6-week Lenten period that leads up to Resurrection Sunday. You'll find a particular emphasis on what disciples are supposed to be learning from these events to form their lives in Christ. Maybe when you finish, you'll want to start your disciple-learning at the beginning in Series 1.

Please don't sign up for this Series unless you have already completed Series 1 (Luke 3:1-6:49), which traces Jesus' ministry from his baptism by John the Baptist to part-way through Jesus' Galilean ministry. To skip that is a mistake, since many of the "discipleship lessons" by which Jesus trains his disciples are shared in Series 1. This study is designed to mirror Jesus' discipling in Luke's Gospel.

Note that the purpose of this study is to train you as a disciple, not to "cover lots of material rapidly." To change your heart takes time. It is a process. You can't rush it, even if you try. This material is deep and takes time to absorb and respond to. Nevertheless, you have a choice of frequency.

However, if you need to subscribe to this Series, you may do so below.

-- Pastor Ralph

To sign up, start by clicking on your e-mail frequency preference:

Once a Week (a lesson arrives each Saturday)
Twice a Week (lessons arrive each Saturday and Wednesday)

If you need to go faster, all the lessons are online for your reading. But mere reading doesn't equal heart change required in discipleship.

There is no cost to participate in the study, though donations are encouraged so we can create more studies and reach more people.

We respect your privacy and never sell, rent, or loan our lists. Please don't subscribe your friends; let them decide for themselves.

Please don't sign up for more than one of my Bible studies at one time. There's no penalty, but each of them is pretty intensive. If you try to do too many studies at the same time without adequate reflection, you'll miss out on God speaking to you.
