基督受難記 Passion of the Christ
耶穌在通往十字架的路上，以神入人的形像經歷了極大的苦難。祂遭受羞辱、被釘十字架、被處死，隨後被安葬在一座不屬於祂的墳墓中。本週日，張國強牧師將詳述基督受難的經過，並著重闡明祂作為我們的救主與主所展現的深厚大愛與犧牲精神。
On the road to the cross, Jesus endured tremendous suffering. He was humiliated, crucified, put to death, and then laid to rest in a tomb that was not His own. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung walks us through the Passion of Christ, highlighting the depth of His profound love and sacrifice as our Savior and Lord.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
- Share a recent time you experienced humiliation, rejection, or misunderstanding. How did you respond?
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
- Read the passage. What were the five significant events that happened during Jesus’ death? What does each reveal about His identity and mission?
- What do Joseph of Arimathea’s actions teach you about courage and discipleship?
4. Examine the heart (15-20 mins)
- In what ways do you sometimes act like the crowd, the soldiers, or the disciples—rejecting, avoiding, or staying silent about Jesus?
- How do you respond when following Jesus becomes uncomfortable, costly, or embarrassing? What fears or guilt might be causing you to distance yourself from Jesus, like Peter and the other disciples did?
5. Empower the hands (15-20 mins)
- What is one specific way you can courageously identify yourself as a follower of Jesus this week, just like Joseph did?
- What is one step you can take to leave behind your old life patterns and walk in the new life Christ has given you?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
- Praise the Heavenly Father for sending His Son, Jesus Christ, who willingly endured humiliation, suffering, and death on the cross for us. Thank Him that even in the midst of man’s wickedness, His goodness and perfect plan prevailed. Rejoice that through Jesus’ broken body and sacrifice, the curtain was torn and we now have direct access to His presence. Give thanks that Christ remained faithful to accomplish our salvation and offer us new life.
- Repent for the times you have denied, avoided, or stayed silent about Jesus out of fear, shame, or comfort. Ask for forgiveness for taking lightly the suffering and separation Christ endured because of your sin. Confess the ways you have clung to your old life instead of fully embracing the new life He offers. Pray for the courage to stand for Christ, to follow Him wholeheartedly, and to live boldly as His disciple.
