Bigs/Elementary Discussion Questions
Who were the last four kings of Judah? (Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah; 2 Chron. 36)
How did God’s people treat His messengers and prophets? (hated them and ignored them, 2 Chron. 36:16)
How were God’s people punished? (Jerusalem was destroyed and her people taken captive, 2 Chron. 36:17-20)
How does God punish sin? Lead kids to discuss the two ways sin will be punished. For those who believe in Jesus, their sin was punished through Jesus’ death on the cross. Help kids see that believers will not face punishment for sin. On the other hand, those who reject Jesus will face punishment for their sin. Help kids see that God’s loving justice means all sin must be punished, but God’s mercy and grace provides the way for us to avoid bearing that weight.
What happens when believers sin? Help kids understand that believers cannot lose their salvation. Guide them to see that believers will be guided by the Holy Spirit, who will help them love and obey God. Remind them that sin still has consequences and will damage our relationships with God and other people.
When will believers be completely free from all sin? Help kids see that, though we are free from the punishment of sin, we still live in a world broken by sin. When Jesus returns, He will fix all that is broken and will restore it. He will destroy all evil.
