CONTENTS

Melchizedek. The primary focus of this lesson is on the superiority of Christ and the argument outlined in the book of Hebrews on that subject.
Scribe. We then examine one of the many scribes identified in the Bible. This is the scribe who said "I will follow you wherever you go," but Jesus questioned his priorities and his commitment.
Nicodemus. is an interesting character because he was a Pharisee and he came at night seeking answers from Jesus. Jesus told Nicodemus that he had to be born again, but Nicodemus had difficulty understanding what Jesus was talking about.
Lazarus. is the only character in any of the Biblical parables who is identified by name. He and a rich man had died and Lazarus was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man was in Hades. This story allows us to take an in-depth look at the subject of hell.
Criminal. As we near the crucifixion the next lesson is Jesus on the cross with a criminal who knew who Jesus was and said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Then Jesus made a remarkable promise: "Today you will be with me in Paradise."
Disciples on Road to Emmaus. Following the crucifixion Jesus appeared to two disciples walking home to Emmaus from Jerusalem. They had lost all hope and were deeply saddened by the events that had just taken place. Then Jesus joined them on the road, but they were kept from recognizing Him until he broke bread at the evening meal and blessed it.
Philip and Ethiopian Eunuch. The next subject is a gospel conversation, and we find Philip running down a dusty road to talk with an Ethiopian eunuch who had been in Jerusalem. Philip opened the conversation by asking, "How can I help," and the result is that the eunuch later asked to be baptized.
Jason. Lastly, we look at the story in Acts describing Jason who hosted Paul and Silas in Thessalonica. Paul was being pursued and persecuted by the Jews and when they could not find Paul they took their anger out on Jason. This allows us to closely examine the subject of the Messiah.
