Conversation Starter
When was the last time you stayed up all night? What was the occasion? 

Big Question, Quotes, and Characters
What is your one BIG question from this episode? (What captured your imagination most, and what would you ask God about the events portrayed?)

What quote from this episode was the most meaningful/impactful to you? Why?

Which characters stood out to you most? Which were most interesting? Most moving?

Episode Questions
1. Jesus weeping and mourning did not look like how I had always thought of it in my head. What were your thoughts on that scene?

2. How does the show present the resurrection of Lazarus impacting people’s belief?

3. This season especially has dealt a lot with theodicy, or how we justify suffering and pain with a good, all powerful, God. And while we do not see Biblical evidence of Jesus choosing to help some people and not others, it is still a good question to ask. The way this episode in particular leaned seemed to come from a Calvinistic bent that everything happens for, and according to, God’s plan. How do you deal with the problem of pain and evil in the world with a just, all powerful, God? (This discussion can be sensitive and difficult. Handle with grace and care)

4. Jesus’ disappointment in his apostles is a major focus through this season. In what examples do you see it from Jesus’ side and are there any scenes that you relate more with the apostles?

5. Why do you think Jesus chose suffering and death as the way to save humanity from their sins? Couldn't there have been a less painful way?

Self-Check
Have you ever felt like God has forgotten you? What restored your trust in His unfailing love for you?

When you think about the promise of eternal life and your future resurrection, how does it help you persevere through difficulties, doubts, pain and confusion that you are forced to deal with?

Continuing the Conversation
Who can you think of that may be going through a difficult time that could use the encouragement that come from trusting Jesus?
