Mary poured expensive perfume on Jesus’ head to

Give a delightful scent in the house
- B.
Challenge the disciple to show affection for the Lord
- C.
Anoint Him for burial
- D.
Flaunt her wealth
Correct Answer
C. Anoint Him for burialExplanation
Not only so, it was perfectly timed. There
will always be poor people, and they can
be helped at any time. But only once in the
world’s history could the Savior be anointed for burial. That moment had
struck, and one lone woman with spiritual discernment had seized it. She
had believed the Lord’s predictions concerning His death. She must have
realized that it was now or never. As it turned out, she was right. The
women who planned to anoint His body after His burial were thwarted by
the resurrection (Mark 16:1-6).Rate this question:

Judas betrayed the Lord because
- A.
He chose to do so
- B.
He was foreordained to do so
- C.
He was acting on behalf of other disciples
- D.
He wanted to force Jesus to fight
Correct Answer
A. He chose to do soExplanation
Judas was not foreordained to betray the Lord. It
was prophesied that someone would do it, but Iscariot did not have to be
the one. He deliberately chose to sell Jesus and was thus held personally
responsible.
When Judas finally asked point-blank if he was the one, Jesus answered,
yes.Rate this question:

Jesus’ sacrificial death was sufficient to provide forgiveness for
- A.
Only those who believe
- B.
Only the Jews
- C.
Only the Gentiles
- D.
All mankind
Correct Answer
D. All mankindExplanation
The new, unconditional
covenant of grace would be confirmed by His precious blood shed for
many for the forgiveness of sins. In one sense His blood was shed for all
mankind; it was sufficient to provide forgiveness for all. But here it was
shed for many in the sense that it was only effective in removing the sins
of those who believe.Rate this question:

As Jesus anticipated the sin of the world being laid on Him,
- A.
He tried to find a way out
- B.
He went to His Father in prayer
- C.
He determined to fight for His life
- D.
He changed His mind about being willing to do it
Correct Answer
B. He went to His Father in prayerExplanation
The anticipation of contact with
sin caused His holy soul the keenest suffering. We cannot understand
what it meant to Him. We are sinful; He is holy. It pains us to resist sin; it
pained Him to anticipate being made sin for our sake (2 Cor. 5:21). Who
could He turn to in His anguish but His Father? No one else could share
His suffering or pray His prayer: “O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup
pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will” (v. 39). In case
we think that this prayer expressed reluctance or a desire to turn back, we
should remind ourselves of His words in John 12:27-28: “Now My soul is
troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for
this purpose came I to this hour. Father, glorify Your name.”Rate this question:

the Roman authorities. Each of these trials had three stages, as follows:Rate this question:

When put under oath and asked if He was the Christ, the Son of God, Jesus answered,
- A.
“No, I never said that.”
- B.
“I don’t have to answer to you.”
- C.
Nothing
- D.
“Yes,” and referred to a Messianic prophecy in the book of Daniel
Correct Answer
D. “Yes,” and referred to a Messianic prophecy in the book of DanielExplanation
Then the high priest said, “I put You
under oath by the living God: tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God!”
According to the law of Moses, Jesus was required to answer him (Lev.
5:1), and so He replied, “It is as you said” (v. 64). This was an idiomatic
expression meaning, “Yes, you have spoken correctly.” In other words Jesus
was saying, “I am the Messiah and I am the Son of God.”Rate this question:

The fact that Christ refused the drink offered Him on the cross indicates that
- A.
He was not thirsty
- B.
He didn’t want to admit He was hurting
- C.
He wanted to be in full control of His faculties
- D.
He was determined not to accept any help from His enemies
Correct Answer
C. He wanted to be in full control of His facultiesExplanation
Prior to His being impaled, the soldiers offered Jesus a drink of vinegar
and gall. This was given to condemned criminals as a drug. When the
Lord tasted it, He would not drink it. For Him it was necessary that He
bear the full load of man’s sins with no impairment of His senses and with
no alleviation of the pain. Matthew’s restraint in describing the actual
crucifixion is noteworthyRate this question:

- B.
The fabric had deteriorated and finally gave way
- C.
God tore the curtain in anger at the treatment of His Son
- D.
There is now no restriction to having access into God’s presence
Correct Answer
D. There is now no restriction to having access into God’s presenceExplanation
In the book of Hebrews we learn that the veil represented the body of
Jesus. The rending of the veil pictured the giving of His body in death.
Through His death, we have “boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood
of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us through
the veil, that is, His flesh” (Heb. 10:19-20). Now the humblest believer can
enter the presence of God on any day, at any hour, in prayer and praise. But
let us never forget that the privilege was purchased for us at tremendous
cost—the sacrificial death of JesusRate this question:

The action of Joseph of Arimathea burying Jesus in his own tomb fulfilled the prophecy in

Isaiah 53:5 -- But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
- B.
Isaiah 53:9 -- And they[a] made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth.

Isaiah 42:4 -- He will not fail nor be discouraged, Till He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands shall wait for His law.”
Correct Answer
B. Isaiah 53:9 -- And they[a] made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth.Explanation
Centuries before, Isaiah predicted, “And they made His grave with the
wicked—but with the rich in His death” (53:9). His enemies had no doubt
planned to throw His body into the Valley of Hinnom where it would be
consumed by dump-fires or eaten by foxes. But God overruled their plans
and used Joseph to ensure that Jesus was buried with the rich.Rate this question:

The stone sealing Jesus’ tomb was rolled away
- A.
To let Jesus out of the tomb
- B.
To scare the Roman guards
- C.
To let His followers see that Jesus had risen
- D.
To embarrass the Jewish leaders
Correct Answer
C. To let His followers see that Jesus had risenExplanation
The angel spoke reassuringly to the women. There was nothing for
them to fear. The One they were looking for had arisen out from among the
dead, as He had promised! “Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” The
stone had been rolled away—not to let the Lord out, but to let the women
see that He had already risen.Rate this question:
