Elementary Discussion Questions
Does Jesus understand our temptations and struggles? Why?
Prompt kids to discuss how Jesus was fully God and fully man. Explain how Jesus got hungry, grew tired, felt pain, and experienced all the other parts of being human—except He never sinned. Lead kids to think about how Jesus understands how we feel when we are tempted or struggle. Encourage kids to remember that Jesus perfectly obeyed and is the Savior we need.
Can we say ‘no’ to temptation? Why?
Lead kids to understand that our new life in Jesus gives us the power to say no to sin. Remind kids that while we do not perfectly obey like Jesus, we can turn away from sin
through the power He provides. Encourage kids to turn to Jesus when they face temptations and ask Him to help them resist. Encourage kids to trust God and His Word over the lies of the devil.
Jesus used God’s Word to trust God over the lies of the devil. How are you choosing to know and believe God’s Word?
Answers will vary. Encourage kids to be hearers and doers of God’s Word. Remind them that reading the Bible helps change our hearts and minds to know and believe what is true. Lead kids to discuss how it is not enough to just know the Bible but that we must also act on the knowledge by faith. Remind kids that the Holy Spirit indwells believers to help them remember Scripture and trust its truth when we are tempted to sin.
